IRS990ScheduleA/FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt0PHOENIX SUNS CHARITIES (THE ORGANIZATION") HAS ELECTED TO UTILIZE THE FACTS-AND-CIRCUMSTANCES TEST AS THE DETERMINING FACTOR TO BE A QUALIFYING PUBLIC CHARITY UNDER SECTION 1.170A-9(E)(3) FOR THE TAX YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024. SINCE 1988, PHOENIX SUNS CHARITIES HAS DISTRIBUTED MORE THAN $38 MILLION TO SUPPORT WORTHY ARIZONA ORGANIZATIONS FOCUSING ON PROGRAMS THAT SUPPORT YOUTH RECREATION, EDUCATION, CAREER DEVELOPMENT AND HEALTHCARE. THE ORGANIZATION HAS FOCUSED ITS FUNDRAISING DURING PHOENIX SUNS GAMES AND EVENTS. THE MAJORITY OF DONATIONS ARE SMALL, AND THE ORGANIZATION HAS HISTORICALLY REPORTED PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGES WELL IN EXCESS OF 33 1/3% PRIOR TO THE 2019 RETURN. THE ORGANIZATION CLEARLY IS ONE THAT IS SUPPORTED BY THE PUBLIC.HOWEVER, DUE TO THE COVID PANDEMIC, THE PHOENIX SUNS PLAYED IN EMPTY STADIUMS WITH FANS NOT IN ATTENDANCE FOR MUCH OF 2020 AND 2021. THE ORGANIZATION DID NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONDUCT ITS RAFFLES, FUNDRAISING DRIVES TO STADIUM ATTENDEES, AND DID NOT ATTEND EVENTS WITH MEMBERS OF THE PHOENIX SUNS. BECAUSE OF THE CLOSURES BY THE NBA AND PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, THE ORGANIZATION WAS FORCED TO PIVOT TO OTHER METHODS OF FUNDRAISING, PRIMARILY THAT OF ONLINE APPEALS. UNFORTUNATELY, THOSE APPEALS WERE NOT AS PRODUCTIVE AS THE IN-PERSON FUNDRAISING EVENTS. TO CONTINUE TO FULFILL ITS MISSION AND SUPPORT NEEDY CHARITIES, THE ORGANIZATION RECEIVED SUPPORT FROM ITS FOR-PROFIT COUNTERPART, SUNS LEGACY PARTNERS, TO FUND ITS OPERATIONS. THIS CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES RESULTED IN THE ORGANIZATION GENERATING A PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE LESS THAN THE REQUIRED 33 1/3% UNDER SECTION 170(B)(1)(A)(VI) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE.THE ORGANIZATION DETERMINED THAT IT WAS BEST TO CANCEL ITS REGULARLY HELD FUNDRAISING EVENTS IN THE INTEREST OF ENSURING THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF THE PARTICIPANTS. HOWEVER, AS RESTRICTIONS WERE LIFTED AND VACCINATIONS MADE WIDELY AVAILABLE, THE ORGANIZATION BEGAN IMPLEMENTING PLANS TO BOTH ENSURE INCREASED SUPPORT FROM THE PUBLIC WITHOUT COMPROMISING THE SAFETY OF THE PARTICIPATING PUBLIC. THESE PLANS INCLUDE:1. LIVE, VIRTUAL AUCTIONS OF DONATED ITEMS, THE PROCEEDS OF WHICH WILL BE USED TO FUND THE ORGANIZATION'S OPERATIONS;2. GAME RAFFLES AND EVENTS TO GENERATE CONTRIBUTIONS FROM ATTENDEES OF PHOENIX SUNS' BASKETBALL GAMES;3. PARTNERING WITH THE STATE OF ARIZONA TO PROMOTE LICENSE PLATES WITH THE PHOENIX SUNS BRAND TO BE SOLD DURING BASKETBALL GAMES AND ONLINE, WITH A PORTION OF THE PROCEEDS BEING TO SUPPORT THE ORGANIZATION;4. TICKET SALES TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND SPONSORS FOR A FUNDRAISING, 3-ON-3 CHARITY BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT; AND5. INCREASED MEDIA PRESENCE AND OUTREACH TO PROMOTE THE ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIBE THE CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS SUPPORTED PURSUANT THE PHOENIX SUNS CHARITIES' MISSION.ACCORDING TO THE GUIDANCE ISSUED IN PRIVATE LETTER RULINGS XXX-XX-XXXX AND XXX-XX-XXXX, THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE WILL CONSIDER AN ORGANIZATION'S STRUCTURE, PROPOSED PROGRAMS OR ACTIVITIES, INTENDED METHOD OF OPERATION, AND PROJECTED SOURCES OF SUPPORT IN REACHING A DETERMINATION.WITH THE RESTRICTIONS RELATED TO THE PANDEMIC LIFTED, THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES IT CAN REVERT TO ITS PRE-PANDEMIC PUBLIC SUPPORT AND CONTINUES TO TARGET THE GENERAL PUBLIC, ESPECIALLY CHARITABLY MINDED SPORTS FANS OF THE PHOENIX SUNS. THE REVERSION TO GROWTH IN PUBLIC CONTRIBUTIONS AND FUNDRAISING EVENTS IS REFLECTED IN THE CURRENT YEAR FILING.GIVEN THESE FACTORS, DETERMINING WHETHER AN ORGANIZATION QUALIFIES FOR PUBLIC CHARITY STATUS UNDER SECTION 507(B)(1)(B)(I) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE IS BASED ON WHETHER THE ORGANIZATION CAN REASONABLY EXPECT TO SATISFY THE REQUIREMENTS.THE ORGANIZATION HAS ESTABLISHED THE PROCEDURES OUTLINED ABOVE TO THE EXTENT THAT ITS MEETING THE PUBLIC SUPPORT REQUIREMENTS IN THE SUCCEEDING TAX PERIODS CAN BE REASONABLY EXPECTED.
