ITS PURPOSE IS TO ALLOW LOCAL CITIZENS TO MAKE CONTRIBUTIONS TO SATISFY A BROAD RANGE OF CHANGING CHARITABLE NEEDS IN OUR COMMUNITY. THERE ARE NOW MORE THAN 700 SUCH COMMUNITY FOUNDATIONS IN THE COUNTRY. THE MISSION OF ALL COMMUNITY FOUNDATIONS IS ESSENTIALLY THE SAME: TO PROMOTE PHILANTHROPY AMONG INDIVIDUALS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND BUSINESSES AND CREATE A PERMANENT ENDOWMENT FUND FOR THE COMMUNITY IN WHICH THEY LIVE. COMMUNITY FOUNDATIONS ARE LOCALLY ADMINISTERED. THEY SUPPORT HEALTH, SOCIAL SERVICES, CIVIC AFFAIRS, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, HISTORIC PRESERVATION, ART, CONSERVATION, AND THE ENVIRONMENT IN GAINESVILLE AND THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES. PUBLIC SUPPORT TEST THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF NORTH CENTRAL FLORIDA, INC. (CFNCF) DOES NOT MEET THE ONE-THIRD PUBLIC SUPPORT TEST. HOWEVER, DUE TO THE NATURE OF CFNCF WE BELIEVE IT IS RESPONSIVE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC RATHER THAN TO A LIMITED NUMBER OF DONORS. TREAS. REG. 1.170A-9(E)(10) RECOGNIZES THAT COMMUNITY FOUNDATIONS, ALSO REFERRED TO AS COMMUNITY TRUSTS, ARE ESTABLISHED TO ATTRACT LARGE CONTRIBUTIONS OF A CAPITAL OR ENDOWMENT NATURE FOR THE BENEFIT OF A PARTICULAR COMMUNITY OR AREA, AND THAT SUCH CONTRIBUTIONS COME INITIALLY FROM A SMALL NUMBER OF DONORS. THAT BEING SO, IF THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION CANNOT MEET THE 33 1/3 PERCENT-OF-SUPPORT TEST, IT CAN STILL QUALIFY AS A PUBLIC CHARITY IF IT IS ORGANIZED AND OPERATED SO AS TO ATTRACT NEW AND ADDITIONAL PUBLIC OR GOVERNMENTAL SUPPORT ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS SUFFICIENT TO MEET THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST OF PARAGRAPH (E)(3) OF TREAS. REG. 1.170A-9. IN ADDITION, TREAS. REG. 1.509(A)-3(A)(4) PROVIDES THAT THE PURPOSE OF THE ONE-THIRD SUPPORT TEST IS TO INSURE THAT AN ORGANIZATION ... IS RESPONSIVE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC, RATHER THAN TO THE PRIVATE INTERESTS OF A LIMITED NUMBER OF DONORS OR OTHER PERSONS.'' TREASURY REGULATION 1.170A-9(E) TREAS. REG. 1.170A-9(E)(3) PROVIDES THAT EVEN IF AN ORGANIZATION FAILS TO MEET THE 33 1/3 PERCENT-OF-SUPPORT TEST, IT WILL BE TREATED AS A "PUBLICLY SUPPORTED" ORGANIZATION IF IT NORMALLY RECEIVES A SUBSTANTIAL PART OF ITS SUPPORT FROM GOVERNMENTAL UNITS, FROM DIRECT OR INDIRECT CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC, OR FROM A COMBINATION OF THESE SOURCES, AND MEETS OTHER REQUIREMENTS. WE BELIEVE CFNCF MEETS THESE OTHER REQUIREMENTS AS OUTLINED BELOW. TEN PERCENT-OF-SUPPORT LIMITATION TREAS. REG. 1.170A-9(E)(3)(I) PROVIDES THAT THE PERCENTAGE OF SUPPORT RECEIVED FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC BE "SUBSTANTIAL." "SUBSTANTIAL" IS DEFINED AS A TOTAL AMOUNT OF PUBLIC SUPPORT WHICH EQUALS AT LEAST 10 PERCENT OF THE TOTAL SUPPORT ''NORMALLY'' RECEIVED. FOR THE PERIOD AT FORM 990, SCHEDULE A, PART IV-A, THE AMOUNT OF PUBLIC SUPPORT IS 26 PERCENT; THEREFORE, A ''SUBSTANTIAL'' AMOUNT. ATTRACTION OF PUBLIC SUPPORT TREAS. REG. 1.170A-9(C)(3)(II) PROVIDES THAT AN ORGANIZATION MUST BE SO ORGANIZED AND OPERATED AS TO ATTRACT NEW AND ADDITIONAL PUBLIC OR GOVERNMENTAL SUPPORT ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS. ONE OF THE DIFFICULTIES FOR CFNCF IN MEETING THE PUBLIC SUPPORT TEST IS THE FACT THAT OUR BOARD TOOK GREAT CARE TO LAY THE GROUNDWORK FOR ITS PERPETUAL EXISTENCE. THE INITIAL BOARD CONSISTED OF 12 UNRELATED INDIVIDUALS FROM THE COMMUNITY. THE ORGANIZATION'S SEED CAPITAL CONSISTED OF SMALL DONATIONS FROM BOARD MEMBERS. FROM THAT WE MANAGED TO CREATE A WEBSITE (WWW.GNVCF.ORG) TO PUBLICIZE THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION. BECAUSE ONE OF THE MISSIONS OF COMMUNITY FOUNDATIONS IS TO ASSIST OTHER CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS IN THE COMMUNITY, WE WERE CAREFUL NOT TO BE SEEN AS COMPETING WITH OTHER CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS IN OUR COMMUNITY, PARTICULARLY WITH RESPECT TO FUND RAISING. TO THAT END WE MADE A CONSCIOUS CHOICE NOT TO HOLD, FOR EXAMPLE, PUBLIC FUNDRAISERS THAT WOULD COMPETE WITH PUBLIC FUNDRAISERS HELD BY OTHER CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS IN OUR COMMUNITY. INSTEAD, BOARD MEMBERS, WHO FOR THE MOST PART ALSO SERVE ON BOARDS OF OTHER CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS, BEGAN A PROGRAM TO EDUCATE OTHER CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS AS TO OUR EXISTENCE AND OUR WILLINGNESS TO WORK WITH THESE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS. TO THAT END, WE MADE IT CLEAR THAT WE WERE NOT TRYING TO REPLACE OTHER CHARITIES. IF A DONOR HAS A CHARITABLE INTENT THAT COULD BE FULFILLED THROUGH ANOTHER ORGANIZATION, WE WOULD ENCOURAGE THE INDIVIDUAL TO SUPPORT THAT ORGANIZATION. THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF NORTH CENTRAL FLORIDA WOULD INSTEAD PROVIDE FOR PHILANTHROPY SUPPORTING CHARITABLE PROJECTS AND AREAS OF INTEREST NOT COVERED BY ALREADY EXISTING CHARITIES. TREAS. REG. 1.170A-9(E)(10) PROVIDES THAT A COMMUNITY FOUNDATION IS NOT REQUIRED TO ENGAGE IN PERIODIC, COMMUNITY-WIDE, FUND-RAISING CAMPAIGNS DIRECTED TOWARD ATTRACTING A LARGE NUMBER OF SMALL CONTRIBUTIONS IN A MANNER SIMILAR TO CAMPAIGNS CONDUCTED BY A COMMUNITY CHEST OR UNITED FUND. SO OUR PRIMARY FOCUS WAS (AND STILL IS) TO EDUCATE THE COMMUNITY ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF A COMMUNITY FOUNDATION. WE DID THIS THROUGH OUR BOARD MEMBERS IN OTHER WAYS. PRIMARILY, INDIVIDUAL BOARD MEMBERS MET WITH INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY TO EXPLAIN THE MISSION OF THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION. THIS WAS AND IS DONE ON A METHODICAL BASIS. FIRST, A LIST OF ALL POTENTIAL DONORS WAS CREATED. IT WAS THEN DIVIDED INTO INDIVIDUALS AND COMPANIES. NEXT, BOARD MEMBERS WHO WERE FAMILIAR WITH THE INDIVIDUALS OR COMPANIES WERE ASSIGNED, USUALLY IN TEAMS OF TWO, TO HAVE LUNCH OR BREAKFAST WITH THEM. WE REALIZED THAT ONE LUNCH OR BREAKFAST WOULD NOT NECESSARILY PRODUCE A CHECK. WE DID NOT WANT TO SOLICIT SMALL DONATIONS, AS WE FELT THIS MIGHT BE SEEN AS COMPETING WITH LOCAL FUNDRAISING, SUCH AS UNITED WAY. SO WE SPEAK WITH POTENTIAL DONORS ABOUT MAJOR GIFTS BENEFITING GAINESVILLE AND THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES. THIS IS A LONG-TERM EDUCATIONAL PROCESS, WHICH WE BELIEVE WILL RESULT IN A FAR STRONGER AND MORE RESILIENT COMMUNITY FOUNDATION FOR THE FUTURE, WE ALSO ASSIST OTHER NONPROFIT AGENCIES. BY DOING SO, WE WILL CREATE GOODWILL IN THE COMMUNITY, WHICH IN TURN SHOULD BRING BROAD PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION. SOME EXAMPLES ARE PROVIDED BELOW: THE WOMEN'S GIVING CIRCLE. THE WOMEN'S GIVING CIRCLE AN INITIATIVE OF THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF NORTH CENTRAL FLORIDA WHICH BEGUN IN 2007 WAS ESTABLISHED TO PROMOTE CHARITABLE GIVING TO PROGRAMS WHICH SUPPORT WOMEN AND GIRLS IN ALACHUA COUNTY. EACH MEMBER CONTRIBUTES 1,000 ANNUALLY. THE CIRCLE HAS GENERATED MORE THAN 850,000 IN GRANTS SINCE INCEPTION FROM MORE THAN 200 LOCAL WOMEN. THE RECIPIENTS OF THESE GRANTS INCLUDE GIRL SCOUTS OF GATEWAY COUNCIL, GIRLS CLUB OF ALACHUA COUNTY, CATHOLIC CHARITIES BUREAU, PEACEFUL PATHS, TAKE STOCK IN CHILDREN, DISPLACED HOMEMAKERS PROGRAM, PACE CENTER FOR GIRLS, AND MERIDIAN BEHAVIORAL HEALTHCARE. FRIENDS OF TACACHALE FUND. TACACHALE IS A FLORIDA STATE AGENCY FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES RESIDENTIAL CENTER. MORE THAN 470 ADULT MEN AND WOMEN, WITH VARYING DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES LIVE IN HOMES ON THE 550-ACRE CAMPUS IN EAST GAINESVILLE. THE FRIENDS OF TACACHALE FUND, WHICH WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2007, BENEFITS THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ALL WHO LIVE AT TACACHALE. THE FUND DISTRIBUTIONS MAY BE USED FOR ITEMS SUCH AS HOLIDAY GIFTS, NEW ATHLETIC EQUIPMENT, OR PARTICIPATION IN THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS THE FRIENDS OF THE ALACHUA COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS ELEMENTARY ARTS & MUSIC PROGRAMS. IN 2008, LOCAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS FACED BUDGET CUTS THAT REDUCED THEIR ART AND MUSIC PROGRAMS BY 50 PERCENT. THIS FUND WAS CREATED BY A GROUP OF RETIRED TEACHERS IN RESPONSE TO THE CUTS IN AN EFFORT TO SUPPORT AND ENHANCE LOCAL ELEMENTARY ART AND MUSIC PROGRAMS NOT COVERED BY TAX DOLLARS. MORE THAN 80,000 WAS RAISED BY MANY LOCAL CITIZENS AND IN THE FIRST YEAR, EACH OF THE 25 ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS IN ALACHUA COUNTY RECEIVED 2,000 TO BENEFIT THEIR ARTS AND MUSIC PROGRAMS. CLINT LACINAK SCHOLARSHIP. A SCHOLARSHIP WAS ESTABLISHED BY A LOCAL FAMILY IN MEMORY OF THEIR SON WHO PASSED AWAY UNEXPECTEDLY. THE SCHOLARSHIP GOES TO BENEFIT QUALIFYING 6TH GRADERS AT ST. PATRICK'S SCHOOL IN GAINESVILLE. AN ANNUAL 5K EVENT IS HELD TO RAISE PROCEEDS TO BENEFIT THE SCHOLARSHIP FUND. TREAS. REG. 1.170A-9(E)(3)(10) PROVIDES THAT THE REQUIREMENT FOR ATTRACTION OF PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR A COMMUNITY FOUNDATION WILL BE GENERALLY SATISFIED IF THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION SEEKS GIFTS AND BEQUESTS FROM A WIDE RANGE OF POTENTIAL DONORS IN THE COMMUNITY, THROUGH BANKS OR TRUST COMPANIES, THROUGH ATTORNEYS OR OTHER PROFESSIONAL PERSONS, OR IN OTHER APPROPRIATE WAYS WHICH CALL ATTENTION TO THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION AS A POTENTIAL RECIPIENT OF GIFTS AND BEQUESTS MADE FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMMUNITY OR AREA SERVED.
