| IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt | 0 | Part II, Line 17a - 10% Facts and Circumstances TestThe Foundation is attaching the following "detailed statement of the facts upon which the organization bases its conclusion." The headings for each section correspond with those in Regulation Section 1.170A-9(f)(3).I. Ten Percent-of-Support Limitation (Regulation Section 1.170A-9(f)(3)(i)The Foundation meets this requirement as it received over 27% of its support from the public in the current year. See Form 990-EZ, Schedule A, Part II, Section C, Line 14.II. Attraction of Public Support (Regulation Section 1.170A-9(f)(3)(ii)The Foundation is organized and operated to attract new and additional public support on a continuous basis. The Foundation has designated officers and a board of directors that work directly with the American Federation of Mineralogical Societies and its members to solicit donations to the Foundation. The Mineralogical Societies are located throughout the United States and each society generates contributions for the Foundation.III. Percentage of Financial Support (Regulation Section 1.170A-9(f)(3)(iii)As noted in Section I above, the Foundation receives over 27% of its support from the public. This is well over the 10% minimum required by the Regulations, and close to the 33 1/3% safe harbor amount. The Regulations also state the following: "If the percentage of the organization's support from public or governmental sources is low because it receives a high percentage of its total support from investment income on its endowment funds, such fact will be treated as evidence of compliance with this subdivision if such endowment funds were originally contributed by a governmental unit or by the general public."This statement accurately describes the current situation of the Foundation. The Foundation was established in 1958, and through public donations over the years has generated a substantial endowment. The majority of the Foundation's income is from the interest and dividends earned by the endowment. Public contributions decreased over several years due to the poor economic conditions throughout the country.IV. Sources of Support (Regulation Section 1.170A-9(f)(3)(iv)The Foundation receives its support from multiple persons located throughout the United States. It does not receive a significant amount of support from the members of a single family. As indicated above, the Foundation has been in existence since 1958 and works with Mineralogical Societies throughout the country to generate donations. V. Representative Governing Body (Regulation Section 1.170A-9(f)(3)(v)The Foundation's officers and directors are selected from the various Mineralogical Societies. Each Society has at least one director to ensure that all regions of the country are represented in the Foundation's governing body.The two remaining items described in the Regulations, "Availability of Public Facilities and Services and Additional Factors Pertinent to Membership Organizations" are not applicable to the Foundation. |
