Facts And Circumstances TestBased on the information set forth below, Good Reason Houston believes it qualifies as a publicly supported charity described in IRC 509(a)(1) pursuant to the facts and circumstances test found in Treasury Regulation 1.170A-9(e)(3). Percentage of Financial Support: Good Reason has increased its public support percentage every year since inception, and its public support percentage stands at 31.58% for the 2021-2022 fiscal year. Good Reason is reasonably certain it will exceed the 33 1/3% public support percentage in the upcoming 2022-2023 fiscal year. Active Fundraising Efforts: The original creation of Good Reason Houston was made possible by large donations from two significant donors in its first few years. Since then, Good Reason has conducted a continuous and bona fide fundraising program designed to attract new and additional public and governmental support. In the past two years, Good Reason has invested more staff and financial resources in its development program in order to expand and diversify its funding base. Representative Governing Body: Good Reason's board of directors is comprised of 19 members representing a diverse group of community organizations and businesses, all of whom are passionate about improving education in the greater Houston area. Sources of Support: Good Reason receives grants from an ever-expanding donor base including individuals, foundations, companies and governmental agencies. Constant improvements to the development strategy are made in order to attract new and additional public support. Program Availability and General Public Participation: Good Reason seeks to serve the 500,000 children attending school in Houston's urban core which includes nine Independent School Districts, two major charter school networks, and 33 standalone charter schools in Harris County where at least 70% of children are economically disadvantaged. Our mission is to increase the number of students learning in great public schools, and we believe district partnerships are the key to achieving this mission.FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt
