IRS990ScheduleA/FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt0SCHEDULE A, PART II, SECTION C, LINE 17B:FISHCHOICE, INC. FAILS TO MEET THE PUBLIC SUPPORT TEST FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2014. HOWEVER, BASED ON THE FOLLOWING FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES, THE ORGANIZATION SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE RECOGNIZED AS A PUBLICLY SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 509(A)(1).TEN-PERCENT OF SUPPORT:THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR THE ORGANIZATION DURING THE ABOVE MENTIONED PERIOD IS 14.10%. THEREFORE, THE TOTAL PUBLIC SUPPORT IS GREATER THAN THE REQUIRED 10%.ATTRACTION OF PUBLIC SUPPORT:THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT RECEIVE MORE THAN 33 1/3% OF ITS SUPPORT FROM GOVERNMENT UNITS OR FROM CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC DUE TO THE FACT THAT IN PRIOR YEARS THE MAJORITY OF THE ORGANIZATION'S CONTRIBUTIONS CAME FROM VARIOUS PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS. ALTHOUGH FISHCHOICE CONSISTENTLY RECEIVES CONTRIBUTIONS FROM DIFFERENT PUBLIC SOURCES EACH YEAR, THE 33 1/3% SUPPORT TEST COULD NOT BE MET. THE ORGANIZATION HAS IMPLEMENTED NEW STRATEGIES TO HELP BROADEN THE PUBLIC SUPPORT OF THE ORGANIZATION. FISHCHOICE HAS RECEIVED DONATIONS FROM SEAFOOD INDUSTRY STAKEHOLDERS. IN THE LAST YEAR, THE ORGANIZATION HAS STEPPED UP ATTEMPTS TO SOLICIT MORE DONATIONS FROM THESE PRIVATE SOURCES BY INCLUDING A DONATIONS LINK ON OUR WEBSITE AND DIRECTLY ASKING MORE PUBLIC COMPANIES FOR DONATIONS IN THE COURSE OF OUR WORK. FISHCHOICE HAS ALSO CONTRACTED A SEAFOOD INDUSTRY CONSULTANT AS AN EXPANSION TO OUR FUNDRAISING EFFORTS, TO BUILD A PROGRAM WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION THAT WILL BRING IN DONATIONS FROM PRIVATE COMPANIES ON A REGULAR BASIS. FISHCHOICE CURRENTLY HAS RESOURCES IN PLACE TO ACCEPT PUBLIC DONATIONS. SOURCES OF SUPPORT:FISHCHOICE, INC. HISTORICALLY HAS RECEIVED SUPPORT FROM TWO MAJOR PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS, THE DAVID AND LUCILE PACKARD FOUNDATION, AND THE WALTON FAMILY FOUNDATION. THE ORGANIZATION ALSO RECEIVES SUPPORT FROM VARIOUS PUBLIC DONORS. HOWEVER, BECAUSE OF THE SIZE OF THE PRIVATE FOUNDATION DONATIONS, THE ORGANIZATION FAILED TO MEET THE 33 1/3% REQUIREMENT FOR PUBLIC SUPPORT. REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNING BODY:FISHCHOICE, INC. IS CURRENTLY SERVED BY A GOVERNING BODY THAT REPRESENTS THE INTEREST OF THE SEAFOOD INDUSTRY; IT DOES NOT REPRESENT THE INTERESTS OF THE DONORS OF FISHCHOICE, INC. THESE REPRESENTATIVES ENSURE THAT THE ORGANIZATION MEETS THE NEEDS OF THE SEAFOOD INDUSTRY. THE ORGANIZATION HAS CURRENTLY IMPLEMENTED A REVIEW OF ITS GOVERNANCE MODEL TO IDENTIFY NEW PROSPECTIVE DIRECTORS/GOVERNORS TO REPRESENT A BROADER RANGE OF THE SEAFOOD INDUSTRY AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC. BASED ON THE ABOVE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES, FISHCHOICE, INC. SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE CONSIDERED AS PUBLICLY SUPPORTED UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 509(A)(1).
