IRS990ScheduleA/FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt0Current Year Facts and Circumstances: Bethany Arts Community 10% Facts and Circumstances TestBethany Arts Community, Inc. (BAC") continues to qualify as a publicly supported organization under the facts and circumstances test (the "Test") set forth in Treas. Reg. Section 1.170A-9(f)(3), as follows: BAC normally receives a substantial part of its support from governmental units, from contributions made directly or indirectly by the general public, or from a combination of these sources, and meets the ten percent support limitation and the attraction of public support test. In addition, BAC is in the nature of an organization that is publicly supported, taking into account all pertinent facts and circumstances, as follows:Public Support: Ten-Percent Support Limitation. BACs public support percentage for the current taxable year is 17.9%. Attraction of public support. To determine the continuity and bona fides of a program designed to solicit funds from the general public or community, consideration is given to the fact that an organization, in its first years, can limit the scope of its solicitations to persons considered most likely to provide enough seed money to enable it to start its charitable activities and expand its fund-raising. Treas. Reg. 1.170A-9(f)(3)(ii). This is exactly the scenario for BAC.Founded in May of 2015 by David Lyons, BAC is a center for arts creation, instruction and appreciation, offering a wide range of programs and services designed to help the many forms of art be taught, produced, and flourish. Mr. Lyons is the original funder to BAC, purchasing its 44,000 square foot building set on 25 serene acres of mostly wooded land, and then spending the next several years funding construction and preparation of the facility for its artistic and educational programming. In 2018, BAC opened its doors and began programming and also began to fundraise from the general public, including holding its first annual fundraiser. BAC also started its first artist residencies that year, supported in part by government funding.BAC also began to expand its Board of Directors (see further below) in 2018 and 2019 and increase its programming, as well as hire a grant writer, all of which has led to an increase in public funding, including New York State government grants and grants from local public charities supporting artistic programming.In 2020, COVID was disruptive to some of BACs plans, but it hired a new Executive Director and its programming and attraction of public support continued, resulting in grants from the NEA (National Endowment for the Arts), NYSCA (NY State Council on the Arts) and others, as well further expansion of BACs Board. Currently, BAC is in the process of hiring a Development Director to further increase its public funding. Accordingly, BAC carries on activities designed to attract support from governmental units and other publicly supported organizations.In addition, BAC satisfies the following facts and circumstances, which are taken into consideration in determining whether an organization is publicly supported for purposes of the Test.Availability of public facilities or services; public participation in programs or policies. As stated above, BAC provides artistic and educational programming for the benefit of the general public on a continuing basis. Artists of all ages and levels of experience are welcomed by BAC to explore and create art that the community can experience and be engaged in while enhancing their perception and perspective of the world. BAC aims to inspire sharing, connection and collaboration in a culture designed for the benefit of the local community and beyond.Beginning in 2018, BAC has had a full schedule of classes, lectures, music, dance and theatre performances, kids programs and artists residencies. In 2020, BAC was forced by COVID to pivot to virtual programming, but its public-facing operations continued.Representative governing body. BAC has a governing body that r
