Section 1.170A-9(f)(3), as follows: BAC normally receives a substantial part of its support from governmental units, from contributions made directly or indirectly by the general public, or from a combination of these sources, and meets the ten percent support limitation and the attraction of public support test. In addition, BAC is in the nature of an organization that is publicly supported, taking into account all pertinent facts and circumstances, as follows:Public Support: Ten-Percent Support Limitation. BACs public support percentage for the current taxable year is 26.55%, which is a dramatic increase from the prior fiscal year. Attraction of public support. To determine the continuity and bona fides of a program designed to solicit funds from the general public or community, consideration is given to the fact that an organization, in its first years, can limit the scope of its solicitations to persons considered most likely to provide enough seed money to enable it to start its charitable activities and expand its fund-raising. Treas. Reg. 1.170A-9(f)(3)(ii). This is exactly the scenario for BAC.Founded in May of 2015 by David Lyons, BAC is a center for arts creation, instruction and appreciation, offering a wide range of programs and services designed to help the many forms of art be taught, produced, and flourish. Mr. Lyons is the original funder to BAC, purchasing its 44,000 square foot building set on 25 serene acres of mostly wooded land, and then spending the next several years funding construction and preparation of the facility for its artistic and educational programming. In 2018, BAC opened its doors and began programming and also began to fundraise from the general public, including holding its first annual fundraiser. BAC also started its first artist residencies that year, supported in part by government funding.BAC also began to expand its Board of Directors in 2018 and 2019 and increase its programming, as well as hire a grant writer, all of which has led to an increase in public funding, including New York State government grants and grants from local public charities supporting artistic programming.In 2020, COVID was disruptive to some of BACs plans, but it hired a new Executive Director and its programming and attraction of public support continued, resulting in grants from the NEA (National Endowment for the Arts), NYSCA (NY State Council on the Arts) and others, as well further expansion of BACs Board. Currently, BAC is in the process of hiring a Development Director to further increase its public funding. In 2021 and 2022, BAC continued to expand. BAC now has a Community Engagement and Outreach Coordinator and a Program and Events Coordinator. BAC also launched in 2022 its Season of Justice program, which is a curated series that endeavors to deepen our understanding of some of todays most pressing societal issues, including the American justice system, the criminalization of otherness color, ethnicity, religion and explore themes of isolation, healing, and hope. BAC now also has expanded programs with the Guggenheim Museum and Flyaway Productions, creating programming around social justice and engaging the local community, with funding received through NYSCA and others. Finally, BAC has expanded its residency programs, with fellowships and young artist residencies, welcoming artists at different stages of their careers from around the world for the development of both new works and works in progress. Accordingly, BAC carries on activities designed to attract support from governmental units and other publicly supported organizations.In addition, BAC satisfies the following facts and circumstances, which are taken into consideration in determining whether an organization is publicly supported for purposes of the Test.Availability of public facilities or services; public participation in programs or policies. As stated above, BAC provides artistic and educational programming for the benefit of the general public on a continuing basis. Artists of all ages and levels of experience are welcomed by BAC to explore and create art that the community can experience and be engaged in while enhancing their perception and perspective of the world. BAC aims to inspire sharing, connection and collaboration in a culture designed for the benefit of the local community and beyond.Beginning in 2018, BAC has had a full schedule of classes, lectures, music, dance and theatre performances, kids programs and artists residencies. In 2020, BAC was forced by COVID to pivot to virtual programming, but its public-facing operations continued. Now, at the end of 2022, BACs programming is broader still, and will continue to grow as evidenced above.Representative governing body. BAC has a governing body that represents the broad interests of the public, rather than the personal or private interests of a limited number of donors. BAC's Board of Directors is comprised of the following nine individuals:David Lyons, Founder and Board PresidentDavid Lyons founded BAC in May 2015. As President of the Board, Mr. Lyons brings a range of practical experience which he will apply in support of BACs purposes. Mr. Lyons appreciation for the arts began with influence from his grandfather who himself was a patron and supporter of the many disciplines of artist creation. While this brought him into direct contact with varying art forms, Mr. Lyons has only begun to explore his artistic potential. Being an active supporter and consumer of art as a result, Mr. Lyons commitment to BAC is inspired by several personal observances, lack of local art programs in the local community, unavailable quality of programming for children and firsthand knowledge of the detrimental effects of not being able to explore ones own potential in the arts.
