| IRS990ScheduleA/FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt | 0 | Current Year Facts and Circumstances: ACSEFs public support percentage for 2017 was less than 33-1/3%, but it believes that it qualifies as a publicly supported organization under the facts and circumstances test. For 2017, ACSEFs public support percentage was 31.28%, substantially more than the 10% required under the facts and circumstances test. ACSEFs sole purpose is to conduct a science fair for students within Alameda County, which effectively limits the area where ACSEF can reasonably attract public support. As a small organization with no employees, limited cash reserves and no investment income, the most cost-effective way to raise funds is to solicit grants from corporations and foundations that are interested in supporting the advancement of science. Other than the fact that they make grants to ACSEF, these major donors are unrelated to ACSEF and receive no direct or indirect benefits from supporting the organization. ACSEFs governing body consists of educators and other persons with scientific backgrounds who are interested in encouraging student participation in science, engineering, math and technology, which ACSEF does through its annual science fair. Based on these facts and circumstances, ACSEF believes that it has the requisite characteristics to be classified as a publicly supported organization. |
