IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt0TSOGYALING MEDITATION CENTER OF EVANSTON ("TSOGYALING") QUALIFIES AS A PUBLICLY SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION FOR 2016 UNDER THE "FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES" TEST IN SECTION 1.170A-9(F)(3) OF THE REGULATIONS. TSOGYALING MAINTAINS A CONTINUOUS AND BONA FIDE PROGRAM FOR THE SOLICITATION OF FUNDS FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC. TSOGYALING IS A BUDDHIST MEDIATION CENTER THAT HAS A REGULAR CONGREGATION OF BUDDHIST FOLLOWERS. TSOGYALING SOLICITS DONATIONS FROM THOSE WHO REGULARLY PARTICIPATE IN ITS ACTIVITIES SIMILAR TO HOW CHURCHES SOLICIT DONATIONS FROM THEIR MEMBERS AND REGULAR ATTENDERS. TSOGYALING ALSO SOLICITS DONATIONS FROM OTHER PUBLIC CHARITIES TO SUPPORT ITS HOLISTIC HEALING SERVICES. AS DESCRIBED BELOW, TSOGYALING RECEIVED IN-KIND DONATIONS OF REAL PROPERTY IN 2015 THAT CAUSED ITS 2015 REVENUES TO BE UNUSUALLY HIGH. TSOGYALING DOES NOT ANTICIPATE RECEIVING SIMILAR DONATIONS IN THE FUTURE. TSOGYALING'S REVENUES FOR FUTURE YEARS ARE EXPECTED TO BE CONSISTENT WITH ITS REVENUES FOR THE YEARS PRECEDING THE DONATIONS. SINCE TSOGYALING'S REVENUES ARE EXPECTED TO RETURN TO NORMAL LEVELS, OSEL LING'S PROGRAMS TO SOLICIT CONTRIBUTIONS ARE REASONABLE IN LIGHT OF ITS CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES. TSOGYALING'S LEVEL OF PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR 2015 AND 2016 WERE DISTORTED BY IN-KIND DONATIONS OF SEVERAL PARCELS OF REAL PROPERTY IN 2015. PROPERTY VALUES IN THE EVANSTON AREA TEND TO BE HIGH. DUE TO THESE HIGH PROPERTY VALUES, THE DONATIONS OF REAL PROPERTY TO TSOGYALING CAUSED ITS 2015 REVENUES TO BE MUCH HIGHER THAN PRIOR YEARS. THE PROPERTIES WERE DONATED BY A LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY WHOSE OWNER IS A FOUNDER, BOARD MEMBER, AND OFFICER OF TSOGYALING. THE PROPERTIES CONSISTED OF THE BUILDING WHERE TSOGYALING HOLDS MOST OF ITS RELIGIOUS GATHERINGS, THE BUILDING'S PARKING LOT, AND A HOUSE THAT IS USED FOR RELIGIOUS GATHERINGS, MINISTERIAL HOUSING, AND TEMPORARY HOUSING FOR VISITING RELIGIOUS STUDENTS AND LEADERS. TSOGYALING USED THESE BUILDINGS FOR ITS EXEMPT PURPOSES IN 2015 & 2016 AND INTENDS TO CONTINUE USING THESE BUILDINGS FOR EXEMPT PURPOSES FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. TSOGYALING'S SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. LIKE A CHURCH, ANY MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY IS INVITED TO ATTEND TSOGYALING'S RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES. TSOGYALING CONDUCTS DAILY AND WEEKLY PRAYERS, MEDIATIONS, AND OTHER BUDDHIST RITUALS THAT ARE OPEN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. TSOGYALING ALSO ALLOWS OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO USE ITS FACILITIES. TSOGYALING HAS THE CHARACTERISTICS OF A CHURCH BECAUSE IT HAS A REGULAR CONGREGATION OF BUDDHIST FOLLOWERS, HOLDS TO A DISTINCT SET OF RELIGIOUS BELIEFS AND PRACTICES, AND CONDUCTS REGULAR RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES. WHEN TSOGYALING APPLIED FOR RECOGNITION OF ITS TAX-EXEMPT STATUS, IT DID NOT SEEK RECOGNITION AS A CHURCH. UPON REVIEW OF ITS ACTIVITIES, TSOGYALING REALIZED THAT IT SHOULD HAVE APPLIED FOR RECOGNITION AS A CHURCH WHEN IT FILED ITS FORM 1023. TSOGYALING INTENDS TO SEEK RECLASSIFICATION AS A CHURCH WITHIN THE COMING MONTHS. THE BOARD MEMBERS OF TSOGYALING REPRESENT THE INTERESTS OF THE PUBLIC AND COMMUNITY. BOARD MEMBERS BRING A VARIETY OF LIFE, EDUCATIONAL, AND PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCES AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO THEIR BOARD SERVICE.
