| Facts And Circumstances Test |

| The Bullard Memorial Farm Association has been a public charity in operation since 1916. They are an organization recognized under code section 170 (b)(1)(A)(vi) as of 2009 that receives a substantial part of its support from a governmental unit or from the general public. The organization is organized and operated to attract new and additional public support on a continuous basis. The public support exceeds the 10% requirement to meet the facts and circumstances as it is currently calculating at 25.2615%. The organization's public support has been trending lower in recent years due to a high percentage of investment income from securities originally contributed by the general public. There are several donors giving small amounts, which is expected to increase in future years with the improvement of the economy and increase in number of donors. The organization is also working to expand local membership and the number of programs each year. The organization supports the general public through the preservation of historical buildings and farm. Additionally, the general public has free access to over 100 acres of land for passive recreation. This land is used for horseback riding, hiking, and most regularly walking on trails. The organization has developed a parking area and kiosk for the public and is in the process of expanding the walking trails to give additional access to parts of the property. The general public is represented on The Bullard Memorial Farm Association's board of directors through a diverse set of skills provided to assist with growing and maintaining the foundation. These skills include expertise in real estate, community building, nonprofit accounting and financial markets, educational programming, sales, technology, social work, and customer and vendor service with knowledge in software support. Additional competencies include Aerospace Engineering, handyman talents such as automotive, carpentry, plumbing, and electrical, tree care expertise comprising shade tree preservation and pruning, historical preservation and conservation, and more. Based on these facts, the organization meets the facts and circumstances test. |
