("FUA") satisfies the "facts and circumstances" test. A. Attraction of Public SupportFUA has maintained a continuous and bona fide program for the solicitation of funds from individuals, businesses and charitable organizations that are interested in its programs. During the five year period ended December 31, 2018, FUA received contributions from 196 separate contributors, and new contributors emerged in every one of those years. FUA's mission is to support the advancement of knowledge and learning at The University of Auckland and the exchange of academic knowledge, faculty and students between United States universities and The University of Auckland. To support this mission, FUA reaches out to alumni and others in the United States with an interest in supporting its programs. Alumni events are held throughout the year in cities across the United States, often in conjunction with visits by faculty and administrators from The University of Auckland. In addition, FUA's Executive Director travels extensively to meet with alumni and other prospective donors in the United States. FUA also maintains a website where donors can learn about FUA's programs and make donations online.FUA's fundraising efforts benefit from The University of Auckland's international reputation. Founded in 1883, The University of Auckland is New Zealand's leading university. It is the only one included in the Times Higher Education top 200 and it is the highest ranked New Zealand university in the QS World University Rankings and Shanghai Jiao Tong Academic Ranking of World Universities. Some 35 percent of the top ranked academic researchers in New Zealand are at The University of Auckland. It is also New Zealand's largest university with over 40,000 students, nearly 10,000 of whom graduate annually. Many of the University's alumni now live in the United States.B. Percentage of Public SupportFUA's public support percentage for 2018 was 29.45%, substantially in excess of the 10% minimum.C. Sources of SupportVirtually all of FUA's support comes from charitable contributions. FUA receives support from a broad group of individuals, businesses and charitable organizations. As noted above, during the five year period ended December 31, 2018, FUA received contributions from 196 separate contributors. Seven of the contributors, each a "Large Contributor", made contributions that totaled more than 2% of FUA's total support. As far as FUA is aware, (i) the Large Contributors are not related to one another, (ii) none of the Large Contributors is an officer or director of FUA and (iii) none of the other FUA officers or directors is, or has a family member that is, an officer or director of a Large Contributor. During the five year period ended December 31, 2018 the total amount of contributions from FUA's officers and directors and their respective family members represented only 3.1% of FUA's total support. In short, FUA supporters are a broad and diverse group, as opposed to a single individual or family. D. Representative Governing BodyFUA's Board of Directors consists of civic leaders who are broadly representative of the community interested in its programs. All of the Directors are either alumni of, or are employed by, The University of Auckland.
