IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt0THE ORGANIZATION MEETS THE PUBLIC SUPPORT FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE REGULATION 1.170A9(F)(3). THEY NORMALLY RECIEVE PUBLIC SUPPORT OF MORE THAN 10% AND DID DURING THIS PERIOD. THEY MAINTAIN CONTINUOUS AND BONA FIDE PROGRAMS FOR SOLICITATION OF FUNDS OF THEIR MEMBERS. THE REASON FOR THE FAILURE OF THE 33 1/3 PUBLIC SUPPORT TEST WAS DUE TO THEIR INVESTMENT INCOME. THAT INVESTMENT INCOME (ENDOWMENT) WAS ALL DONATED BY THEIR MEMBERSHIP; THUS UNDER 1.170A-9(F)(3)(III)(A) IT CAN BE CONSIDERED "PUBLIC SUPPORTED". THE INCOME COMES FROM MANY MEMBERS AND NOT MEMBERS OF A SINGLE FAMILY. THE ORGANIZATION IS CONTROLLED BY BOARD OF DIRECTORS WITH EXPERTISE IN THIS PARTICULAR FIELD. THE ORGANIZATION PUBLISHED JOURNALS THAT BENEFIT MEMBERSHIP AND THE PUBLIC. THEY ALSO HOLD A CONVENTION THAT FURTHERS EDUCATION FOR THOSE IN ATTENDANCE. THEREFORE, WE BELIEVE THEY MEET THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TO REMAIN A PUBLIC CHARITY.
