| Facts And Circumstances Test | THE PURPOSE OF THIS STATEMENT IS TO PROVIDE DETAILED INFORMATION SUPPORTING THE CONTINUED QUALIFICATION OF OLD BLUE RUGBY FOUNDATION (OLD BLUE) AS A PUBLIC CHARITY THROUGH MEETING REQUIREMENTS OF THE "10% FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST". OLD BLUE (EIN 13-3226589) WAS ORGANIZED AND INCORPORATED IN 1985 AS A 501(C)(3) PUBLIC CHARITY TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF AMATEUR RUGBY IN THE UNITED STATES. FOR THE BULK OF ITS EXISTENCE, THE ORGANIZATION, OPERATED THROUGH A DEDICATED BOARD OF TRUSTEES, HAS GENERATED MODEST INCOME THROUGH DONATIONS FROM BOTH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SOURCES, AND PROVIDED GRANTS-IN-AID TO A VARIETY OF RECIPIENTS TO SUPPORT EDUCATION, TRAINING SCHOLARSHIPS, ACTIVITIES AND PROGRAMS. DURING THESE YEARS, THE FOUNDATION'S PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE HAS REMAINED WELL ABOVE THE LEVEL REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN THE STATUS OF A PUBLIC CHARITY. HOWEVER, THE LEVEL OF SUPPORT THAT WAS GENERATED ONLY ALLOWED THE FOUNDATION TO PROVIDE SUPPORT ON A YEAR-BY-YEAR BASIS. THE FOUNDATION'S ABILITY TO ENGAGE IN LONGER RANGE (OVER A YEAR) PROGRAMS AND TO ATTRACT SERIOUS ADDITIONAL SUPPORT WAS LIMITED BY THE FACT THAT ALL AMOUNTS RAISED WERE NEEDED TO SUPPORT CURRENT YEAR ACTIVITIES.OLD BLUE GENERALLY HAS OVER 500 DONORS WHO CONTRIBUTE AT LEAST ONCE EVERY FIVE YEARS. IN CONJUNCTION WITH A COACHING INITIATIVE AND A CELEBRATION MARKING A SIGNIFICANT EVENT IN U.S. RUGBY HISTORY, OLD BLUE MADE AN EFFORT TO ATTRACT AND RECEIVED SPECIAL CONTRIBUTIONS. THIS INITIATIVE WAS SUCCESSFUL IN ATTRACTING SUBSTANTIAL INCREASED SUPPORT FROM A LEAD DONOR AS WELL AS OTHER REGULAR DONORS. THE INITIATIVE WAS ALSO SUCCESSFUL IN PROVIDING AN ENDOWMENT EXPECTED TO SUPPORT A BASE LEVEL OF ANNUAL EXPENSES AND PERMITTED OLD BLUE TO EXPAND SUPPORT FOR YOUTH RUGBY PROGRAMS AND SCHOLARSHIPS BEYOND ITS TRADITIONAL NEW YORK AREA. THIS PROVED TO BE IMPORTANT IN 2017, WHEN THE LEAD DONOR PASSED AWAY AND IN 2020, WHEN THE EFFECT OF THE GLOBAL PANDEMIC SUSPENDED PLAYING ACTIVITIES AND FORCED THE CANCELLATION OF THE FOUNDATION'S ANNUAL AWARDS CEREMONY, IN CONJUNCTION WITH WHICH THE BULK OF CONTRIBUTIONS FROM REGULAR DONORS ARE TYPICALLY ARE RAISED. IN 2018, THE LEVEL OF SUPPORT FROM SMALLER DONORS RETURNED TO LEVELS CLOSER TO WHAT THEIR LEVEL OF CONTRIBUTIONS HAD BEEN IN PRIOR YEARS. THIS RESULTED IN AN OVERALL LEVEL OF PUBLIC SUPPORT IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS PRIOR TO 2020 CLOSE TO 20%. HOWEVER, THE PANDEMIC SEVERELY HAMPERED (ALMOST ELIMINATED) THE ABILITY TO RAISE FUNDS FROM ITS NORMAL BASE OF SMALLER DONORS , AND THE FOUNDATION HAS NEEDED TO REIY ON SUPPORT FROM A PRIVATE FOUNDATION TO SUSTAIN ITS ACTIVITIES. IN 2022, THE FOUNDATION WAS ABLE TO RESUME ITS AWARDS CEREMONY AND ATTRACT CONTRIBUTIONS FROM ITS TRADITIONAL BASE. THEREFORE, IN FUTURE YEARS OLD BLUE EXPECTS THE LEVEL OF PUBLIC SUPPORT TO RETURN TO A LEVEL ABOVE 33.33%.IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT, WHILE IT HAS A LONG-ESTABLISH BASE OF CONTRIBUTORS, OLD BLUE HAS NEVER USED PROFESSIONAL FUNDRAISERS OR FUNDRAISING COUNSEL. THE ORGANIZATION HAS BEEN AND CONTINUES TO BE ENTIRELY RUN BY UNPAID VOLUNTEERS WHO, DESPITE BEING SUCCESSFUL PROFESSIONALS AND MANAGERS IN THEIR OWN RIGHT, DEVOTE CONSIDERABLE TIME AND EFFORT TO OLD BLUE'S PROGRAMS AND HAVE HAD A LONG STANDING INVOLVEMENT IN AMATEUR RUGBY AT A NATIONAL LEVEL. ACCORDINGLY, IT MAY NOT BE AS EFFECTIVE AS IT MIGHT BE IN SUSTAINING CONSISTENT FUND RAISING EFFORTS. HOWEVER, IT BELIEVES THAT IN THE LONG RUN THE INTERESTS OF AN AMATEUR SPORT WILL BE BEST SERVED BY NOT BEING TOO PROFESSIONAL. OLD BLUE FEELS THAT IT HAS BEEN WELL SERVED BY RELYING ON MANAGERS WHO HAVE BEEN ACTIVELY INVOLVED AND CAN ADDRESS THE ACTUAL NEEDS OF THE AMATEUR SPORTS ORGANIZATIONS AND ATHLETES WHO RELY ON OLD BLUE'S ASSISTANCE. THIS INFORMATION DEMONSTRATES THE ORGANIZATION'S CAPACITY TO SATISFY THE ELEMENTS OF THE "10% FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST" AS DESCRIBED IN REGULATION SECTION 1.170A-T(F)(3) AND CONTINUE TO OPERATE AS A PUBLIC CHARITY IN THE FUTURE:1) THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF GOVERNMENTAL AND PUBLIC SUPPORT NORMALLY RECEIVED IS AT LEAST 10% OF THE TOTAL SUPPORT NORMALLY RECEIVED. SINCE ITS INCEPTION, OLD BLUE HAS MET AND EXCEEDED THIS ELEMENT OF THE TEST. IN FACT, DURING THE ENTIRE 2015 THROUGH 2019 MEASUREMENT PERIOD, THE PUBLIC SUPPORT LEVELS FAR EXCEEDED 10% OF THE REQUIRED MINIMUM PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE TO BE CONSIDERED SUBSTANTIALLY SUPPORTED BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC. DESPITE A SUBSTANTIAL INFUSION OF NEW FUNDS FROM A CHARITABLE FOUNDATION IN 2018 AND 2019, THE PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE CALCULATED ON SCHEDULE A, PART II, SECTION C, LINE 14 WAS 16.3% FOR 2019, CLOSE TO THE 20.9% LEVEL FOR 2018 AND 16.9% LEVEL IN 2017. IT CAN EXPECT TO RETURN TO AN UPWARD TRAJECTORY NOW THAT EVENTS ARE NO LONGER IMPACTED BY THE PANDEMIC.2) OLD BLUE HAS A CONTINUOUS AND BONA-FIDE PROGRAM FOR SOLICITATION OF FUNDS FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC, GOVERNMENTAL UNITS, OR PUBLIC CHARITIES. RECENT FUND RAISING EFFORTS HAVE STRENGTHENED HISTORIC RELATIONSHIPS WITH INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS WITHIN THE AMATEUR ATHLETIC COMMUNITY IN THE UNITED STATES. WITH THE INCREASED VISIBILITY AND CONSISTENCY OF ITS SUPPORT FOR AMATEUR RUGBY, OLD BLUE BELIEVES ITS BASE OF REGULAR CONTRIBUTORS WILL CONTINUE TO GROW. IN PARTICULAR, OLD BLUE HAS CONTINUED ITS SUPPORT OF COLLEGIATE RUGBY PROGRAMS AND HAS BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN SUPPORTING THE INITIATION OF A HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL YOUTH RUGBY PROGRAM IN THE NEW YORK CITY SCHOOLS, WHICH IS NOW EXPANDING TO OTHER CITIES. THIS FOCUS ON YOUTH RUGBY DEVELOPMENT WILL ENABLE OLD BLUE TO ATTRACT NEW AND ADDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR ITS PROGRAMS AND FOR AMATEUR RUGBY IN GENERAL IN THE FUTURE. 3) ALL OTHER PERTINENT FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING THE PERCENTAGE OF ITS SUPPORT FROM GOVERNMENTAL AND PUBLIC SOURCES, THE NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION'S GOVERNING BOARD, THE EXTENT TO WHICH ITS FACILITIES AND PROGRAMS ARE PUBLICLY AVAILABLE, AND WHETHER ITS ACTIVITIES ARE LIKELY TO APPEAL TO PERSONS HAVING SOME BROAD COMMON INTEREST OR PURPOSE. OLD BLUE'S TRACK RECORD OVER MANY DECADES OF OPERATING ENTIRELY WITH VOLUNTEERS AND SUPPORT FROM FORMER RUGBY PLAYERS AND COACHES, AS WELL AS ITS LONGSTANDING TIES TO COLLEGIATE AND YOUTH RUGBY PROGRAMS DEMONSTRATES THAT IT CAN SUSTAIN SUPPORT WITHIN THE AMATEUR RUGBY COMMUNITY. IN FACT, IT IS THE CHARACTER AND EFFECTIVENESS OF THE LEADERSHIP THAT HAVE ALLOWED IT TO OBTAIN SUCH GENEROUS SUPPORT FROM MAJOR DONORS. SIGNIFICANTLY, ITS ABILITY TO SURVIVE DURING THE LAST TWO YEARS PANDEMIC HAS BEEN DUE TO CONTRIBUTIONS FROM A CHARITABLE FOUNDATION THAT HAS NO REPRESENTATION OR INVOLVEMENT IN THE OPERATION OR MANAGEMENT OLD BLUE. MOST OF THE PROGRAM ACTIVITIES OF THE ORGANIZATION ARE CONDUCTED IN THE NORTHEAST AND IN AND AROUND THE NEW YORK AREA. THE ORGANIZATION'S PROJECTS AND ACTIVITIES ARE WELL KNOWN IN THE RUGBY COMMUNITY AND IT WORKS COOPERATIVELY WITH MANY OTHER NON-PROFIT ENTITIES THAT SUPPORT THAT COMMUNITY IN THE UNITED STATES. THE ORGANIZATION HAS SHOWN THE ABILITY TO ATTRACT A BLEND OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE DONATIONS, AND SUPPORTS AND WORKS IN COLLABORATION WITH OTHER NON-PROFIT ENTITIES TO PROVIDE AND RECEIVE GRANTS AND IN-KIND SUPPORT. THE AMATEUR ATHLETIC CONTESTS THAT OLD BLUE SUPPORTS ARE TYPICALLY FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. THEY ARE OFTEN HELD IN PUBLIC PARKS OR EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES AND DRAW A DIVERSE GROUP OF SPECTATORS OF ALL AGES, ETHNIC ORIGINS AND ECONOMIC BACKGROUNDS. IT IS PRECISELY THE ABILITY OF RUGBY TO BUILD AND STRENGTHEN DIVERSE COMMUNITIES THAT ATTRACTS PUBLIC SUPPORT TO OLD BLUE AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THAT SPONSOR AMATEUR RUGBY COMPETITIONS. | FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt |
