Facts And Circumstances TestCurrent Year Facts and Circumstances: The origins of The British Benevolent Society of California go back to 1858, and the Society actively seeks donations from the public to support its mission, and continues to expand its membership, as members are the major source of public support. There are opportunities for individuals and companies to donate to the organization through annual and life memberships, as well as corporate memberships. Ongoing initiatives in 2020 to engage members and acquire new members included holding meetings, outings, dinners and raffles, coordinated by our Events Committee. In addition, the Member Services Committee continued to focus on the recruitment of new members, and work with existing members to maximize the opportunities for donations and bequests. As part of this effort, there is an ongoing project to enhance the marketing materials and website of the Society.FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt

Client Note 1Client Note 1 - Reference to Form 990, Part I, item 8 & Part VIII, Item 1(f) (contributions) and Schedule A, Part II, lines 1 & 5: Dilys JacksonLembi was a long time active member of the Society. Upon her demise, her estate made charitable bequests totaling $805,000 ($705,000 in 2014 & $100,000 in 2013) to the Society. In addition, in 2013, the Estate of Donald F. Casey made a $40,000 bequest. These one time bequests were the largest bequests the Society has ever received and have been reported as "unusual grants" so as to be excluded from both the numerator and denominator of the public support test.
