Facts And Circumstances Test
WITHIN RECENT YEARS, THE COUNCIL HAD INCREASED ITS FUND-RAISING EFFORTS, PRIMARILY FROM A FEW LARGE DONORS, TO PROVIDE THE NECESSARY RESOURCES TO SUPPORT THE COUNCIL'S CENTRAL FELLOWSHIP ENDOWMENT AND OPERATIONS THROUGH AN ENDOWMENT CAMPAIGN. THIS FUND-RAISING EFFORT (WHICH WAS EXTRAORDINARY TO THE COUNCIL), WAS SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETED IN THE COUNCIL'S 2013-2015 FISCAL YEARS. AS A CONSEQUENCE, THESE SUBSTANTIAL CONTRIBUTIONS WILL REMAIN A PART OF THE COUNCIL'S COMPUTATION OF ITS CURRENT PUBLIC SUPPORT CALCULATION. THE COUNCIL CONTINUES TO STRIVE TO SEEK BROAD SUPPORT FROM DIVERSE PUBLIC SOURCES.
