IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt1I. BACKGROUND COMPASS PARTNERS (COMPASS) IS ORGANIZED AND OPERATED EXCLUSIVELY FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES. WE ENGAGE PRIMARILY IN EDUCATING COLLEGE STUDENTS ABOUT SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP THROUGH OUR MAIN PROGRAMMING ACTIVITY, THE COMPASS FELLOWSHIP. II. ANALYSIS COMPASS QUALIFIES AS A PUBLICLY SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION DESCRIBED UNDER SECTION 170(B)(1)(A)(VI) AND THEREFORE AS AN ORGANIZATION DESCRIBED IN SECTION 509(A)(1) BECAUSE IT SATISFIES THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST SET FORTH IN SECTION 1.170A-9(E)(3) OF THE TREASURY REGULATIONS. A. THRESHOLD REQUIREMENTS COMPASS IS ELIGIBLE FOR A DETERMINATION OF PUBLIC SUPPORT UNDER THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST BECAUSE IT MEETS THE TWO THRESHOLD REQUIREMENTS FOR CONSIDERATION. FIRST, THE PORTION OF COMPASS'S SUPPORT THAT QUALIFIES AS ELIGIBLE PUBLIC SUPPORT IS 27.25% WHICH EXCEEDS THE 10% THRESHOLD REQUIRED UNDER TREASURY REGULATION SECTION 1.170A-9(E)(3)(I). SECOND, COMPASS'S OPERATIONS ENSURE THAT IT WILL CONTINUE TO ATTRACT NEW AND ADDITIONAL PUBLIC SUPPORT, AS REQUIRED BY TREASURY REGULATION SECTION 1.170A-9(E)(3)(II). COMPASS HAS AN ACTIVE FUNDRAISING PROGRAM TARGETING INDIVIDUALS AS WELL AS VARIOUS BUSINESSES THAT SHARE ITS MISSION, THEREBY SATISFYING THE OTHER THRESHOLD REQUIREMENT FOR QUALIFYING AS PUBLICLY SUPPORTED UNDER THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST. B. OTHER RELEVANT FACTORS IN DETERMINING WHETHER COMPASS MEETS THE "FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST," THE TREASURY REGULATIONS ALSO PROVIDE A LIST OF FACTORS THAT SERVE AS INDICIA OF WHETHER AN ORGANIZATION QUALIFIES AS PUBLICLY SUPPORTED. THE HIGHER THE PERCENTAGE OF SUPPORT ABOVE THE 10% REQUIREMENT, THE LOWER THE ORGANIZATION'S BURDEN IN ESTABLISHING IT'S PUBLICLY SUPPORTED NATURE WITH OTHER FACTORS. THESE ADDITIONAL FACTORS, DISCUSSED BELOW, PROVIDE FURTHER EVIDENCE THAT COMPASS SATISFIES THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST. BECAUSE COMPASS'S PERCENTAGE OF SUPPORT IS 27.24% COMPASS HAS A LESSER BURDEN IN PROVING ITS PUBLICLY SUPPORTED NATURE THROUGH THESE FACTORS. 1. SOURCES OF SUPPORT COMPASS RECEIVES ITS PUBLIC SUPPORT FROM A WIDE VARIETY OF UNRELATED CONTRIBUTORS AND DOES NOT DEPEND ON A SINGLE FAMILY FOR CONTRIBUTIONS, TWO FACTS THAT PROVIDE FURTHER SUPPORT FOR COMPASS'S QUALIFICATION AS A "PUBLICLY SUPPORTED" ENTITY. THESE DONORS INCLUDE NUMEROUS TAX-EXEMPT ENTITIES, FOR-PROFIT CORPORATIONS, INDIVIDUALS, AND ESTATES. DURING FISCAL YEAR 2015, COMPASS RECEIVED FUNDS FROM OVER 100 SEPARATE VISITORS THROUGH OUR MAIN WEBSITE, WWW.COMPASSFELLOWS.ORG, ENCOURAGING THEM TO MAKE A DONATION TO COMPASS DIRECTLY THROUGH THE SITE. WE CONTINUE TO EXPLORE ADDITIONAL METHODS OF ONLINE FUNDRAISING TO BROADEN OUR OUTREACH TO POTENTIAL DONORS. IN ADDITION, COMPASS RECEIVED FUNDING FROM NUMEROUS FUNDING SOURCES, INCLUDING VARIOUS FOUNDATIONS, CORPORATIONS, ETC. IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED IN THE ANALYSIS OF SUPPORT THAT OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS COMPASS HAS RECEIVED SIGNIFICANT DONATIONS FROM A FEW MAJOR FOUNDATIONS, WHICH ARE VERY LARGE FOUNDATIONS WHO EXIST FOR THE PURPOSE OF FURTHERING OUR MISSION TO PROMOTE ENTREPRENEURSHIP TO COLLEGE STUDENTS. THESE LARGE DONATIONS COME FROM A FEW DONORS AND THEY CAUSE A SIGNIFICANT FACTOR IN THE DROP IN PERCENTAGE OF COMPASS'S PUBLIC SUPPORT OVER THIS PERIOD. TO ILLUSTRATE, IF THE SIGNIFICANT DONATION WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE PUBLIC SUPPORT TEST, THE PERCENTAGE FOR THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR WOULD BE GREATER THAN 60%. SINCE THESE DONATIONS DID NOT MEET THE QUALIFICATION OF AN UNUSUAL GRANT, THE PERCENTAGE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 2014 AND 2015 DECREASED TO 25.84% AND 27.24%, RESPECTIVELY. HOWEVER, COMPASS BELIEVES THAT AS THESE DONATIONS COME FROM ENTITIES THAT ARE ACKNOWLEDGED AS ORGANIZATIONS THAT SUPPORT EDUCATING COLLEGE STUDENTS ABOUT ENTREPRENEURSHIP, THIS IS FURTHER SUPPORT AND INDICATION OF OUR QUALIFICATION AS A "PUBLICLY SUPPORTED" ENTITY. 2. REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNING BODY THE REPRESENTATIVE NATURE OF AN ORGANIZATION'S GOVERNING BODY IS ALSO A FACTOR IN DETERMINING WHETHER IT QUALIFIES UNDER THE "FACTS AND CIRCUM
