IRS990ScheduleA/FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt0Explanation of Meeting the 10% Facts-and-Circumstances Test for 2021 During 2021, the primary activity the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier Foundation (the Foundation) engaged in was the centennial celebration (the Centennial) of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier (the Tomb) in Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia on November 11, 2021. The Foundation worked hard to find ways to support the Centennial. Arlington National Cemetery (ANC) was the governmental agency delegated responsibility for planning and conducting the Centennial. The Foundation ran into many difficulties in coordinating with ANC. The Foundation suggested several ideas of ways to support the Centennial. Many of the ideas were rejected by ANC. In the end, ANC allowed the Foundation to provide flowers at the flower ceremony during the Centennial. The flower ceremony involved allowing members of the public, for the first time in the history of the Tomb, to place flowers at the base of the Tomb. ANCs decision to allow the Foundation to support the flower ceremony did not allow enough time for the Foundation to undertake an effort to raise money from the public to support the flower ceremony. The Foundation did raise funds from the public for that purpose and exceeded the 10% public support test for 2021, but it did not reach the 33% support test for 2021.
