IRS990ScheduleA/FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt0For the fiscal years beginning July 1, 2011 and ending June 30, 2016, The Foundation for Constitutional Government, Inc. reported a public support percentage of 17.20%. Of its total support of $2,091,985 for that time period, $359,914 was counted as public support, and $1,732,071 as excess contributions over the 2% limitation. The excess contributions came from seven private foundations supporting a wide diversity of persons representative of the general public. (See Total Excess Contributions to Schedule A, Part II, Line 5). The Foundation for Constitutional Government believes that it should continue to be treated as a public charity described in Internal Revenue Code Section 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) under the 10% Facts and Circumstances Test. The Foundation for Constitutional Government is devoted to supporting the serious study of politics and political philosophy, with particular attention to the constitutional character of American government. The Foundation's online programming includes Great Thinkers, a series of websites devoted to the history of political philosophy (from Plato and Aristotle to John Locke and The Federalist, et al.), Contemporary Thinkers, a series of websites devoted to important thinkers of the last few generations (e.g., Harvey Mansfield, James Q. Wilson, and Isaiah Berlin, et al.), and the online video series Conversations with Bill Kristol. Conversations with Bill Kristol is a forum for substantive, thought-provoking dialogue on a diverse array of issues of public concern from the American presidency to the ideas that have shaped Western civilization. The program is hosted by Weekly Standard founder and editor at large Bill Kristol. Recent guests have included Supreme Court Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas, former Vice President Dick Cheney, former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, Obama senior adviser David Axelrod, business founder Peter Thiel, former world chess champion and human rights activist Garry Kasparov, women's rights activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali, former commander in Iraq and Afghanistan General David Petraeus, former U.S. Army Vice Chief of Staff General Jack Keane, and Harvard government professor Harvey Mansfield. New Conversations are released bi-weekly and are readily available to the general public.
