Reg. 1.170A-9(f)(3). In order to satisfy the facts and circumstances test, (i) the Fund's public support percentage must be greater than 10%, and (ii) the Fund must be so organized and operated as to attract new and additional public or governmental support on a continuous basis. In addition, the Fund must be in the nature of an organization that is publicly supported, taking into account all pertinent facts and circumstances, including the factors listed below. Here, the Fund's public support percentage is 30.22%; substantially higher than the minimum requirement of 10%. In addition, the Fund is organized and operated as to attract new and additional public support on a continuous basis. The Fund maintains a continuous and bona fide program for solicitation of funds from employees of Anheuser-Busch InBev, including ongoing appeals for donations, as well as various fund raising events throughout the year. Indeed, the Fund would have satisfied the 1/3 Safe Harbor but for a one-time substantial donation from Anheuser-Busch InBev made to ensure the Fund has sufficient cash to meet an unexpectedly higher level of need due to multiple natural disasters. Thus, the Fund satisfies both mandatory elements of the test. The other factors also support the position that the Fund is in the nature of a publicly supported organization: a. Percentage of Financial Support: the higher the public support percentage is above ten percent, the less reliance will have to be placed on the other factors to establish public support. Here, as noted above, the Fund's percentage of 30.22% is substantially higher than 10%. b. Sources of Support: the fact that support is received from governmental units or directly or indirectly from a "representative number of persons" rather than from "members of a single family." The Fund received donations from hundreds of donors. c. Representative Governing Body: the fact that the organization has a "governing body which represents the broad interests of the public". Here, the board includes employees of Anheuser-Busch InBev, however, in accordance with IRS guidance set forth in Publication 3833, a majority of the board is not comprised of senior leadership. d. Availability of Public Facilities or Services or Public Participation in Programs or Policies: Here, the Fund operates a disaster relief and emergency assistance hardship program that is available to thousands of persons. Based on the foregoing, the Fund satisfies the facts and circumstances test to qualify as a public charity as set forth in Treas. Reg. 1.170A-9(f)(3).
