IRS990ScheduleA/FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt0The Ashby Bowhunting Foundation (ABF) submits that throughout its existence to date and in the future, it qualifies as a public charity under Internal Revenue Code 509(a)(1) by satisfying the requirements of Regulations 1.170A-9(f)(3) as follows:(i). Ten Percent Test: ABF has historically and normally can be expected in the future to receive over 10% of its total support from the general public.(ii). Attraction of Public Support: In 2019, ABF partnered with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to work with their Hunter Education Department. ABF conducts seminars/workshops at sanctioned TPWD events to train Hunter Education Instructors and hunters alike on all aspects, from proper arrow choice, tuning of the arrows and bows, routine practice, and other invaluable tips based upon experience. ABF works to help conservation efforts by reducing animals' wounding and non-recovery rates. TPWD has adopted this information to supplement the Bowhunter Education class that the International Bowhunter Education Foundation administers. In 2021, ABF partnered with the Texas Wildlife Association, a 501(c)(4) organization that adopted our methods for the Youth Hunter Program and their Adult Hunt Program. ABF has also partnered with other conservation organizations, including Houston Safari Club Foundation, Dallas Safari Club Foundation, Professional Hunters Association of South Africa, and Namibia Professional Hunters, to assist their members.ABF's website contains over forty years of research, all provided to the public for free to improve bow hunting worldwide. ABF continues this research through one of our major donors to confirm new developments that may have changed with technology. ABF's testing is the only one of its kind that relates directly to bow hunting conservation efforts. In addition to the webpage, ABF maintains a small social media presence on Instagram and LinkedIn to reach additional people. ABF has expanded its reach through YouTube affiliates, contributing to new individual monthly donors.(iii). Percentage of Financial Support: ABF received about 31% of its total support from public sources during the past two years and over 35% in prior years. ABF anticipates increased public support percentage above the 33.33% threshold for 2024 and beyond.(iv). Sources of Support: ABF receives modest contributions from many foundations and individuals. In late 2023 and early 2024, ABF successfully tested a fundraising model: a donated hunt with Dr. Ashby in attendance, attracting new and continuing donors. ABF continues to develop fundraising strategies to attract new and continuing donors. (v) Representative Governing Body: ABF's governing body is now composed of five (5) business leaders. The officers and directors are professionals in the energy/financial industry, education, restaurant industry, retired medical professionals, and, most recently, non-profit professionals. All understand the importance of ABF's mission towards conservation efforts and are able to communicate that with the hunting and non-hunting public alike to generate interest and fundraising. The entire governing body is 100% volunteer. No salaries are paid by ABF.(vi). Availability of Facilities or Services and Public Participation: ABF's programs impact the entire community of bow hunting around the globe. In addition to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and other organizations previously mentioned, ABF has been asked for guidance by organizations/groups/individuals around the world. These inquiries have come from countries including, but not limited to, Germany, France, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, Chile, South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Mozambique, Zambia, Russia, and all over North America. ABF has witnessed many gravitating toward these methods as they are proven methods to help conservation. Many archery manufacturers see this impact and have started designing their equipment to follow the styles of equipment that have been p
