IRS990ScheduleA/FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt0THE LEHIGH VALLEY BUSINESS EDUCATION PARTNERSHIP (LVBEP) MEETS THE 10% FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST FOR THE REASONS BELOW: 1)THE ORGANIZATION MEETS THE 10% SUPPORT LIMITATION. 2)THE ORGANIZATION IS ORGANIZED AND OPERATED TO ATTRACT NEW AND ADDITIONAL PUBLIC SUPPORT ON A CONTINUING BASIS. FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES: A)PERCENTAGE OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT - THE ORGANIZATION'S PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE WAS 22.25% FOR THE TAX YEAR 2016. THE ORGANIZATION'S PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE WAS 31.94% FOR THE TAX YEAR 2015. THESE PERCENTAGES ARE SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN THE 10% THRESHOLD. B)SOURCES OF SUPPORT - THE ORGANIZATION'S PRIMARY EXEMPT PURPOSE IS TO PROMOTE COLLABORATION BETWEEN BUSINESS AND EDUCATION TO FOSTER PRODUCTIVE CITIZENSHIP, LIFELONG EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN THE LEHIGH VALLEY OF PENNSYLVANIA. TO SUPPORT THIS EXEMPT PURPOSE, IN RECENT YEARS, THE ORGANIZATION HAS BEEN AN APPROVED EDUCATIONAL IMPROVEMENT ORGANIZATION UNDER THE PENNSYLVANIA EDUCATIONAL IMPROVEMENT TAX CREDIT PROGRAM (EITC). UNDER THIS PROGRAM, QUALIFIED PENNSYLVANIA BUSINESSES CAN ACTIVELY SUPPORT EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVES IN PENNSYLVANIA AND BE AWARDED PENNSYLVANIA TAX CREDITS BY MAKING CONTRIBUTIONS TO APPROVED EDUCATIONAL IMPROVEMENT ORGANIZATIONS. THE LEHIGH VALLEY BUSINESS EDUCATION PARTNERSHIP SOLICITS CONTRIBUTIONS TO THIS PROGRAM BY BEING LISTED ON THE PA DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WEBSITE AT: HTTPS://DCED.PA.GOV/EDUCATIONAL-IMPROVEMENT-ORGANIZATIONS. THE CONTRIBUTIONS BY BUSINESSES UNDER THIS PROGRAM HAVE BECOME AN INCREASINGLY LARGER PORTION OF LVBEP'S TOTAL CONTRIBUTIONS IN RECENT YEARS. THESE CONTRIBUTIONS TEND TO BE VERY LARGE IN COMPARISON TO OTHER CONTRIBUTIONS RECEIVED BY THE ORGANIZATION. THESE CONTRIBUTIONS ALSO TEND TO COME FROM LARGER ESTABLISHED BUSINESSES, AS BUSINESSES NEED TO BE PROFITABLE TO OBTAIN TAX BENEFITS FROM THEIR EDUCATION IMPROVEMENT CONTRIBUTIONS. AS A RESULT, FOR 2015 AND 2016 TAX YEARS, THE ORGANIZATION'S PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE HAS DECREASED UNDER THE 33 1/3% PUBLIC SUPPORT THRESHOLD. IN ADDITION, WHILE THE ORGANIZATION'S MISSION AND ACTIVITIES BENEFITS THE ENTIRE LEHIGH VALLEY POPULATION, THE FACT THAT LVBEP'S EXEMPT PURPOSE IS TO PROMOTE COLLABORATION BETWEEN BUSINESS AND EDUCATION IN THE LEHIGH VALLEY TENDS TO NATURALLY LIMIT THE POOL OF POTENTIAL CONTRIBUTORS TO PRIMARILY BUSINESSES AND THOSE BUSINESSES LOCATED IN THE LEHIGH VALLEY. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF ORGANIZATIONS ALL ACROSS PENNSYLVANIA THAT ARE APPROVED AS EDUCATIONAL IMPROVEMENT ORGANIZATIONS UNDER THE PENNSYLVANIA EDUCATIONAL IMPROVEMENT TAX CREDIT PROGRAM. THESE BUSINESSES WILL NATURALLY MAKE EITC CONTRIBUTIONS TO ORGANIZATIONS LOCATED IN THEIR OWN GEOGRAPHIC AREA THEREFORE LIMITING THE POOL OF POTENTIAL CONTRIBUTORS TO THE LVBEP TO LARGER BUSINESSES LOCATED IN THE LEHIGH VALLEY. THE ORGANIZATION DOES ROUTINELY SOLICIT CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC AT EVENTS THAT IT SPONSORS SUCH AS THE SUMMER CAREER LINKING ACADEMIES. C)REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNING BODY - THE LVBEP HAS A GOVERNING BODY WHICH REPRESENTS THE BROAD INTERESTS OF THE PUBLIC AND NOT THE PERSONAL OR PRIVATE INTERESTS OF A LIMITED NUMBER OF DONORS. THE ORGANIZATION'S GOVERNING BODY IS MADE UP OF PUBLIC SCHOOL OFFICIALS AND LOCAL CORPORATE COMMUNITY LEADERS THAT HAVE SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE IN THE BUSINESS AND EDUCATION FIELDS THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THE ORGANIZATION'S MISSION. THE LVBEP BYLAWS LIMITS THE NUMBER OF BOARD DIRECTORS TO NO LESS THAN 10 OR NO MORE THAN 20 INDIVIDUALS. HALF OF THE DIRECTORS MUST REPRESENT THE INTERESTS OF THE BUSINESS, COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL COMMUNITY WHILE THE OTHER HALF MUST REPRESENT THE INTERESTS OF THE EDUCATIONAL COMMUNITY. ALL BOARD DIRECTORS MUST REPRESENT BUSINESS OR EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS LOCATED IN THE GREATER LEHIGH VALLEY. NONE OF THE CORPORATE DONORS TO THE EITC PROGRAM HAVE REPRESENTATIVES ON THE LVBEP BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR THE 2016 TAX YEAR. THE LVBEP IS A WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF THE LEHIGH VALLE
