Percentage of public support: The 2018 tax year was the first year in which the organization was required to calculate its cumulative public support, which was 31.62%. (Its 2017 cumulative public support was retroactively calculated at 30.25%.) In other words, even though the organization is relatively new, its public support has been very close to 33-1/3%. 2. New organization: As a new organization, it has naturally sought support from members of the public who would be most inclined to provide such support. This has made it challenging to meet the 33-1/3% support test. But as the organization grows, it is expected that it will broaden its support base. 3. Ongoing program for public support: The organization conducts periodic outreach to new potential sources of financial support in the form of correspondence and person-to-person contact with individuals who are known personally by its governing body and/or its current supporters. 4. Sources of support: The organization has been actively fundraising for only 3 years, yet in that time it has garnered support from twelve (12) distinct parties, including individuals, families, and four family foundations, despite the fact that its exempt-purpose activities (commemoration of Gustav Mahler) could be said to appeal to a limited number of persons. In other words, its support has come not from a single family but from a relatively broad section of the public given the nature of its activities. 5. Representative governing body: Rather than representing the personal interests of a limited number of persons, the organization's governing body includes individuals with expertise in the field which the organization is devoted to as well as individuals who are community leaders. 6. Public participation in programs: The organization helps to sponsor, or provides expert guidance to, programs that have drawn (or will draw) wide participation by the public, namely public festivals that commemorate the work and artistic influence of Gustav Mahler.
