IRS990ScheduleA/FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt0Prior Year Facts and Circumstances: The Foundation for Globally Competitive Texas ("FGC") submits that throughout its existence to date and in the future, it qualifies as a public charity under Internal Revenue Code 509(a)(1) by satisfying the requirements of Regulations 1.170A-9(f)(3) as follows:(i). Ten Percent Test: FGC has historically and normally can be expected in the future to receive over 10% of its total support from the general public. The organization was formed in 2006 and has been significantly supported by a single private foundation donor during its start up period. For tax years 2012, 2013, and 2014, FGC's public support percentage was above 33 1/3%. Due to a strategic planning project in 2015, it did not conduct any fundraising activities and the percentage dropped. Due to its plans to expand its public policy scope, it expects the public support percentage to exceed 33 1/3% in the near future.(ii). Attraction of Public Support: Because FGC is dedicated to provide research on public policy issues that affect Texas global competitiveness, it has to date attracted gifts from foundations, businesses and individuals in varying amounts. FGC maintains a continuous and bona fide program for solicitation of funds from the general public. In 2019, the FGC will continue its outreach to the general public in support of our work through a variety of additional means including correspondence, email, and events with the goal of expanding support for our work to provide research on public policy issues that affect Texas global competitiveness. (iii). Percentage of Financial Support: FGC received about 30% of its total support from public sources for the five year period ending 12/31/18 and reasonably expects for that ratio to rise to above 33 1/3% in the next two years. (iv). Sources of Support: FGC receives its support from a representative number of foundations and individuals, rather than receiving almost all of its support from the members of a single family or small group of individuals. FGC has to date received gifts from over 40 contributors.(v). Availability of Facilities or Services and Public Participation: FGCs programs impact Texas economic growth with timely and fact based information. CONCLUSION: FGC believes it qualifies as a publicly supported charity described in IRC 509(a)(1) pursuant to the facts and circumstances test found in Treasury Regulations 1.170A-9(f)(3). FGC has and will receive well in excess of ten percent (10%) of its total support from qualifying public sources, has an active fundraising program, and possesses a majority of the characteristics that describe organizations that meet this test.
