IRS990ScheduleA/FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt0BENJAMIN FRANKLIN EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION, INC. (THE "FOUNDATION") QUALIFIES AS A PUBLICLY SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION BECAUSE IT COMFORTABLY SATISFIES THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST, PURSUANT TO TREAS. REG. 1.170A-9(F)(3). TEN-PERCENT SUPPORT LIMITATION: THE FOUNDATION'S PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2019 WAS APPROXIMATELY 23%. ATTRACTION OF PUBLIC SUPPORT: THE FOUNDATION IS ORGANIZED AND OPERATED TO ATTRACT NEW AND ADDITIONAL PUBLIC SUPPORT ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS DUE TO ITS PUBLIC CHARITABLE MISSION. THE FOUNDATION IS ORGANIZED AND OPERATED TO SUPPORT BENJAMIN FRANKLIN CLASSICAL CHARTER PUBLIC SCHOOL, A MASSACHUSETTS PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL (THE "SCHOOL"). THE SCHOOL IS A PUBLIC INSTITUTION WHICH SERVES OVER 445 STUDENTS CHOSEN BY RANDOM PUBLIC LOTTERY. DUE TO ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SCHOOL, THE FOUNDATION IS ALSO SUBJECT TO PUBLIC OVERSIGHT; ITS FINANCIALS ARE COMBINED WITH THE SCHOOL'S FINANCIALS, AND ARE SUBMITTED TO THE MASSACHUSETTS DEPARTMENT OF ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION ON AN ANNUAL BASIS.CONTINUOUS AND BONA FIDE PROGRAM FOR SOLICITATION OF FUNDS: THE FOUNDATION'S FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES INCLUDE AN EVENT AND SOLICITATIONS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF ITS NEW GYM AND PLAYGROUND. ALTOGETHER THE FOUNDATION RAISED OVER $81,000 IN FISCAL YEAR 2019. THE FOUNDATION INVITES POTENTIAL DONORS TO VISIT THE SCHOOL AND TO ATTEND BOTH SPECIAL CULTIVATION EVENTS AND ROUTINE SCHOOL EVENTS. THE FOUNDATION HAS INITIATED A CAPITAL CAMPAIGN THAT IS EXPECTED TO ATTRACT NEW DONORS AND CONTINUE TO INCREASE PUBLIC SUPPORT OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS. THE FOUNDATION HAS EXPANDED ITS FUNDRAISING PROGRAM OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS, INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF CONTRIBUTIONS RECEIVED AND EXPANDING ITS DONOR BASE, AND EXPECTS TO CONTINUE TO DO SO. PERCENTAGE OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT: AS SHOWN IN THE 2017 TAX RETURN, THE PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE FOR THE FOUNDATION WAS OVER 30%. THE FOUNDATION EXPECTS ITS PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE TO CONTINUE TO EXCEED 10% BY A SIGNIFICANT MARGIN IN THE FUTURE.SOURCES OF SUPPORT: MOVING FORWARD, THE FOUNDATION EXPECTS TO RECEIVE FEWER FUNDS FROM REVENUE SOURCES THAT DO NOT QUALIFY AS PUBLIC SUPPORT AND EXPECTS TO RECEIVE A GREATER PERCENTAGE OF ITS REVENUE FROM GIFTS, GRANTS, AND CONTRIBUTIONS. REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNING BODY: THE FOUNDATION'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS REPRESENTS THE BROAD INTERESTS OF THE PUBLIC, RATHER THAN THE PERSONAL OR PRIVATE INTERESTS OF A LIMITED NUMBER OF DONORS.
