| Facts And Circumstances Test | THE EAGLE CREEK PARK FOUNDATION (ECPF) IS A NONPROFIT CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION ESTABLISHED IN 1978 WITH THE MISSION TO PROMOTE, PRESERVE, PROTECT, AND ENHANCE EAGLE CREEK PARK IN INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA. EAGLE CREEK PARK IS THE LARGEST PARK IN INDIANAPOLIS AND RANKS AMONG THE LARGEST MUNICIPAL PARKS IN THE UNITED STATES, WITH ANNUAL VISITATION REACHING APPROXIMATELY ONE MILLION.SINCE ITS INCEPTION, ECPF HAS PLAYED A VITAL ROLE IN SUPPORTING THE PARK THROUGH CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS, ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION INITIATIVES, AND PUBLIC OUTREACH EFFORTS. THIS NARRATIVE IS SUBMITTED TO DEMONSTRATE THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH THE EAGLE CREEK PARK FOUNDATION QUALIFIES AS A PUBLICLY SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION UNDER IRC SECTION 509(A)(2) OR SECTION 170(B)(1)(A)(VI), NOTWITHSTANDING ITS INABILITY TO MEET THE NUMERIC THRESHOLD OF THE PUBLIC SUPPORT TEST.PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT AND SUPPORTECPF BENEFITS FROM A BROAD AND DIVERSE BASE OF PUBLIC SUPPORT. CONTRIBUTIONS RANGE FROM SMALL INDIVIDUAL DONATIONS SUCH AS CHILDREN DONATING $1 TO VOTE FOR THEIR FAVORITE RAPTOR DURING OUR OWLFEST EVENTTO A GROWING MEMBERSHIP OF MORE THAN 2,000 INDIVIDUALS, ALL OF WHOM CONTRIBUTE BEYOND THE COST OF A TYPICAL ANNUAL PARK PASS. IN ADDITION TO INDIVIDUAL SUPPORT, ECPF RECEIVES VARIOUS SMALL GRANTS THAT FUND MEANINGFUL ENHANCEMENTS TO THE PARK, SUCH AS ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION, SIGNAGE UPGRADES, AND FACILITY REPAINTING.OUTREACH AND COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENTTHE FOUNDATION EMPLOYS A MULTIFACETED APPROACH TO ENGAGE THE PUBLIC AND ENCOURAGE PHILANTHROPIC SUPPORT: - STAFF AND BOARD MEMBERS ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE IN PUBLIC EVENTS HELD WITHIN THE PARK TO ATTRACT NEW SUPPORTERS AND RAISE AWARENESS OF ECPF'S MISSION. - THE FOUNDATION MAINTAINS A STRONG DIGITAL PRESENCE, INCLUDING REGULAR SOCIAL MEDIA ENGAGEMENT, E-NEWSLETTERS, AND APPEARANCES ON LOCAL TELEVISION TO PROMOTE INITIATIVES AND EVENTS. - INFORMATIONAL FLYERS AND PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS ARE STRATEGICALLY PLACED THROUGHOUT THE PARK TO EDUCATE VISITORS ABOUT ECPF AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR INVOLVEMENT. - STAFF ALSO REPRESENT THE FOUNDATION AT COMMUNITY EVENTS OUTSIDE THE PARK, INCLUDING FARMERS MARKETS, CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FUNCTIONS, AND OTHER LOCAL GATHERINGS, TO FURTHER BROADEN OUTREACH.ADDITIONALLY, ECPF HOSTS FUNDRAISING EVENTS AND ACTIVELY PARTICIPATES IN PARK-SPONSORED PROGRAMS, USING BOTH AS PLATFORMS TO INVITE THE PUBLIC TO SUPPORT PARK PROJECTS. OUR MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM IS WIDELY ACCESSIBLE AND MARKETED TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC THROUGH MULTIPLE CAMPAIGNS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. WE ALSO PARTNER WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS BY OFFERING DISCOUNT CODES TO ENCOURAGE PARTICIPATION AMONG DIVERSE POPULATIONS.GOVERNANCE AND ORGANIZATIONAL INTEGRITYTHE FOUNDATION IS GOVERNED BY A BOARD OF DIRECTORS COMPOSED OF COMMUNITY LEADERS FROM ACROSS THE GREATER INDIANAPOLIS AREA. ECPF IS INTENTIONAL IN MAINTAINING A DIVERSE AND REPRESENTATIVE BOARD, WITH INDIVIDUALS REFLECTING A WIDE RANGE OF PARK INTERESTS AND PROFESSIONAL EXPERTISEINCLUDING LEGAL, FINANCIAL, HUMAN RESOURCES, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, AND NONPROFIT MANAGEMENT. IMPORTANTLY, ECPF DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY REPRESENTATIVES FROM ITS LARGEST GRANTORS ON THE BOARD OR IN ANY CAPACITY THAT INFLUENCES DECISION-MAKING, ENSURING THAT GOVERNANCE REMAINS PUBLICLY ACCOUNTABLE AND INDEPENDENT.SIGNIFICANT GRANTS AND IMPACTWHILE THE MAJORITY OF ECPF'S FUNDING IS DERIVED FROM PUBLIC SOURCES, THE FOUNDATION HAS BEEN THE RECIPIENT OF TWO SUBSTANTIAL GRANTS OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS. THESE GRANTS WERE DESIGNATED FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS THAT SIGNIFICANTLY ENHANCE PUBLIC ACCESSIBILITY AND EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES IN THE PARK.ONE CURRENT GRANT IS FUNDING THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN ABA-COMPLIANT TRAIL AND ADDITIONAL ADA-ACCESSIBLE PARKING SPACES. THIS PROJECT IS LOCATED IN A HIGH-TRAFFIC AREA THAT SERVES THOUSANDS OF SCHOOLCHILDREN ON FIELD TRIPS FOCUSED ON ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION. PRIOR TO THIS IMPROVEMENT, STUDENTS WITH MOBILITY CHALLENGES WERE OFTEN EXCLUDED FROM THE OUTDOOR PORTIONS OF THESE PROGRAMS. THE NEW ACCESSIBLE INFRASTRUCTURE ENSURES INCLUSIVE EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES, ALLOWING ALL STUDENTS TO FULLY PARTICIPATE IN PARK-BASED LEARNING. THIS INITIATIVE ALIGNS DIRECTLY WITH ECPF'S MISSION AND UNDERSCORES ITS COMMITMENT TO SERVING THE PUBLIC INTEREST. | FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt |
