IRS990ScheduleA/FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt0For the fiscal years beginning July 1, 2016 and ending June 30, 2017, The Foundation for Constitutional Government, Inc. reported a public support percentage of 18.50%. Of its total support of $2,648,235 for that time period, $490,001 was counted as public support, and $2,158,234 as excess contributions over the 2% limitation. The excess contributions came from nine 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.
