HOWEVER, THE FOUNDATION DOES MEET THE DEFINITION OF "PUBLICLY SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION PURSUANT TO THE "FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST" AS SET FORTH IN TREASURY REGULATION 1.170A-9(E)(3) AS DISCUSSED IN THE FOLLOWING:I) TEN PERCENT OF SUPPORT LIMITATION. THE FOUNDATION REGULARLY RECEIVES MORE THAN 10% OF ITS SUPPORT FROM GENERAL PUBLIC AND THE U.S. GOVERNMENT, AS DOCUMENTED BY LINE 14 OF FORM 990, SCHEDULE A THAT REFERENCES THIS ATTACHMENT.THE PRIMARY REASONS THE FOUNDATION HAS A PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE BELOW 33 1/3% COMPUTED AS PRESCRIBED BY TREASURY REGULATION 1.170A-9(E)(2) ARE AS FOLLOWS: 1) ALTHOUGH IT HAS A BROAD IN-KIND DONOR BASE, WITHIN THAT BASE IS A SMALL GROUP OF CORPORATE DONORS WHO REGULARLY CONTRIBUTE SUBSTANTIAL QUANTITIES OF MEDICAL, EDUCATIONAL AND HUMANITARIAN SUPPLIES FOR DISTRIBUTION BY THE FOUNDATION AND ITS PARTNERS TO THE NEEDY WORLDWIDE. DURING THE FOUR-YEAR PERIOD COVERED BY THE PUBLIC SUPPORT COMPUTATION, THE FOUR LARGEST IN-KIND DONORS PROVIDED APPROXIMATELY 62% OF IN-KIND CONTRIBUTIONS RECEIVED.THE FOUNDATION'S MANAGEMENT AND MONITORING OF ITS FUND RAISING AND ADMINISTRATION COSTS HAS RESULTED IN THE FINANCIAL RESULTS WHEREBY NON-PROGRAM EXPENDITURES REPRESENT LESS THAN 1% OF TOTAL EXPENSES ON AN ANNUAL BASIS. DUE TO THE FOUNDATION'S ABILITY TO POWERFULLY LEVERAGE ITS LOW OPERATING OVERHEAD IN DISTRIBUTING DONATED IN-KIND RESOURCES WORLDWIDE, THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES REQUIRED TO RUN ITS PROGRAMS ARE MODEST. THE FOUNDATION IS FREQUENTLY ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE MEDIA AS A LEADER IN PROGRAM SUPPORT SPENDING EFFICIENCY.II) THE FOUNDATION CONTINUES EFFORTS TO INEXPENSIVELY EXPAND PUBLIC SUPPORT FROM INDIVIDUAL DONORS AND OTHER DONOR UNITS. IN 2005, THE FOUNDATION RECEIVED CASH GIFTS FROM 5,803 GIVING UNITS (OVER 93% INDIVIDUALS), AND IN 2006, THE FOUNDATION RECEIVED CASH GIFTS FROM 1,998 GIVING UNITS (OVER 92% INDIVIDUALS). IN 2007, THE FOUNDATION RECEIVED CASH GIFTS FROM 1,875 GIVING UNITS (OVER 92% INDIVIDUALS), AND IN 2008, THE FOUNDATION RECEIVED CASH GIFTS FROM 1,730 GIVING UNITS (OVER 92% INDIVIDUALS). IN 2009, THE FOUNDATION RECEIVED CASH GIFTS FROM 1,627 GIVING UNITS (OVER 91% INDIVIDUALS). IN 2010, THE FOUNDATION RECEIVED CASH GIFTS FROM 5,920 GIVING UNITS (OVER 92% INDIVIDUALS). IN 2011, THE FOUNDATION RECEIVED CASH GIFTS FROM 4,195 GIVING UNITS (OVER 91% INDIVIDUALS). IN 2012, THE FOUNDATION RECEIVED CASH GIFTS FROM 2,505 GIVING UNITS (OVER 92% INDIVIDUALS). IN 2013, THE FOUNDATION RECEIVED CASH GIFTS FROM 3,861 GIVING UNITS (OVER 92% INDIVIDUALS). IN 2014, THE FOUNDATION RECEIVED CASH GIFTS FROM 2,927 GIVING UNITS (OVER 92% INDIVIDUALS). IN 2015, THE FOUNDATION RECEIVED CASH GIFTS FROM 5811 GIVING UNITS (OVER 92% INDIVIDUALS). PUBLIC SUPPORT IS GENERALLY THROUGH A CONTINUOUS LOW-COST FUNDRAISING PROGRAM DESIGNED TO ATTRACT NEW ADDITIONAL PUBLIC SUPPORT, AS WELL AS ROUTINE MEDIA RECOGNITION BY THE MEDIA IN THE UNITED STATES AND WORLDWIDE, ATTESTING TO THE ABILITY TO DELIVER USEFUL GOODS AND SERVICES WORLDWIDE.III) PERCENTAGE OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT. THE FOUNDATION HAS WITNESSED A DRAMATIC INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUAL DONORS AND IN THE QUANTITY OF GIFTS FROM INDIVIDUALS OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS. THIS IS DUE LARGELY IN PART TO RESPONSES BY INDIVIDUALS TO WORLD DISASTERS. INDIVIDUALS REPRESENT 93.17% OF THE TOTAL DONOR BASE AVERAGED OVER THE PREVIOUS FOUR YEARS. IT IS QUITE EVIDENT THAT INDIVIDUAL DONORS CONTINUE TO RECOGNIZE THE ORGANIZATION AS A PREMIER CHARITY. AN EFFORT TO INCREASE PUBLIC SUPPORT IS GARNERED THROUGH A CONTINUOUS FUNDRAISING PROGRAM THAT IS DESIGNED TO ATTRACT NEW AND ADDITIONAL PUBLIC SUPPORT. IV) SOURCES OF SUPPORT. THE FOUNDATION MAINTAINS AN ACTIVE FUND RAISING PROGRAM AND REALIZES FINANCIAL SUPPORT FROM A BROAD GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS, CORPORATIONS, CIVIC, AND CHURCH GROUPS, FOUNDATION'S HUMANITARIAN ORGANIZATIONS FROM USAID. GENERAL FUND RAISING APPEALS TO A CAREFULLY DEVELOPED GROUP OF PAST AND POTENTIAL SUPPORTERS ARE UNDERTAKEN GENERALLY EIGHT TIMES A YEAR. SEPARATE ANNUAL APPEALS ARE MADE THROUGH THE UNITED WAY AND COMBINED FEDERAL CAMPAIGN. ALSO, GOVERNMENT GRANTS AND PROGRAM RELATIONSHIPS ARE PURSUED ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS AS OPPORTUNITIES AND WORLD DEVELOPMENTS OCCUR.DURING THE FOUR-YEAR PERIOD COVERED BY THE PUBLIC SUPPORT COMPUTATION, THE FOUNDATION'S FINANCIAL DONOR COUNT AVERAGED OVER 2976 INDIVIDUALS PER YEAR AND OVER 218 ORGANIZATIONS PER YEAR. THE INDIVIDUAL DONOR GROUP AVERAGED 5,057 CONTRIBUTIONS PER YEAR AND THE DONOR GROUP OF ORGANIZATIONS AVERAGED 491 CONTRIBUTIONS PER YEAR.THE FOUNDATION ALSO MAINTAINS AN ACTIVE COMMUNICATION PROGRAM WITH ITS SUPPORTERS AND GENERAL PUBLIC THROUGH MAILINGS OF NEWSLETTERS AND ANNUAL REPORTS AND FREQUENT PROCESS RELEASES OF NOTEWORTHY EVENTS. A WEBSITE IS MAINTAINED AT WWW.BROTHERSBROTHER.ORG. THE SITE INCLUDES INFORMATION ON THE FOUNDATION'S MISSION, PROGRAMS, CURRENT EVENTS AND PROVIDES A SECURE FACILITY FOR WEB VISITORS TO MAKE CONTRIBUTIONS BY CREDIT CARD.V) REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNING BODY. THE FOUNDATION'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS ARE COMPRISED OF BUSINESS AND CIVIC LEADERS WITH EXPERIENCE IN A WIDE VARIETY OF FIELDS: EDUCATION, MEDICINE, LAW, BANKING, PHILANTHROPY, PUBLIC SERVICE, BUSINESS AND MEDICAL MISSIONS. GOVERNING BODY REPRESENTATIVES HAVE PROVIDED SIGNIFICANT OVERSIGHT TO ENSURE EFFECTIVE LOCAL MANAGEMENT OF THE RESOURCES THAT THE FOUNDATION AND ITS PARTNERS HAVE FORWARDED FOR DISTRIBUTION TO THE NEEDY.VI) AVAILABILITY OF PUBLIC FACILITIES OR SERVICES; PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN PROGRAMS OR POLICIES. DONATED MEDICAL, EDUCATIONAL AND HUMANITARIAN SUPPLIES ARE DISTRIBUTED BY THE FOUNDATION AND ITS PARTNERS IN DEVELOPING TRANSITIONAL AND DISASTER-STRICKEN COUNTRIES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. SINCE ITS FOUNDING IN 1958, THE FOUNDATION TOGETHER WITH ITS PARTNERS HAS PROVIDED OVER $4 BILLION IN GOODS AND SERVICES INCLUDING, OVER 102,336 TONS OF MEDICAL SUPPLIES, TEXTBOOKS, SEEDS, AND FOOD. SUCH ASSISTANCE HAS ENHANCED THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR TENS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE PROVIDING THEM WITH BETTER HEALTH, EDUCATION, NUTRITION, MATERIAL SECURITY AND HOPE IN OVER 120 COUNTRIES.VII) ADDITIONAL FACTORS PERTINENT TO MEMBERSHIP ORGANIZATIONS; THE FOUNDATION IS NOT A MEMBERSHIP ORGANIZATION. CONCLUSION: ALTHOUGH THE FOUNDATION DOES NOT MEET THE MECHANICAL COMPUTATION TEST DEFINED IN TREASURY REGULATION 1.170A-9(C)(2) FOR DESIGNATION AS A "PUBLICLY SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION; IT CONTINUES TO QUALIFY AS "PUBLICLY SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION UNDER THE "FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST" AS SET FORTH IN TREASURY REGULATION 1.170A-9(E)(3) RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 377825 16201 7635 386391 392021 -6582 7614 377825 395287 3904 7170 392021 361186 44233 6913 3219 395287 325000 45719 6605 2928 361186 0.00000 1.00000 0.00000 0 0 213201 213201 1871232 418735 1452497 468186 186756 281430 1947128 X 217079808 87011 32762 119773 216960035 11891 11891 216971926 199125541 5968650 5968650 193156891 11891 11891 193168782 PART V, LINE 4: THE ENDOWMENT CONSISTS OF AN INVESTMENT FUND ESTABLISHED PRIMARILY FOR PROGRAMMING AND OPERATING NEEDS OF THE FOUNDATION AND INCLUDES DONOR-RESTRICTED FUNDS. AS REQUIRED BY GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES, NET ASSETS ASSOCIATED WITH ENDOWMENT FUNDS, INCLUDING FUNDS DESIGNATED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO FUNCTION AS ENDOWMENTS, ARE CLASSIFIED AND REPORTED BASED ON THE EXISTENCE OR ABSENCE OF DONOR-IMPOSED RESTRICTIONS. THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE FOUNDATION HAS ELECTED TO BE GOVERNED BY THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA'S ACT 141 (ACT 141) FOR THE DONOR-RESTRICTED ENDOWMENT FUNDS. ACT 141 IS A TOTAL RETURN POLICY THAT ALLOWS A NONPROFIT TO CHOOSE TO TREAT A PERCENTAGE OF THE AVERAGE MARKET VALUE OF THE ENDOWMENT'S PERMANENTLY RESTRICTED INVESTMENTS AS INCOME EACH YEAR. HOWEVER, THE LONG-TERM PRESERVATION OF THE REAL VALUE OF THE ASSETS MUST BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN THE BOARD ELECTS THE AMOUNT. ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, THE BOARD MUST ELECT, IN WRITING, A SPENDING RATE OF BETWEEN 2% AND 7%. THIS PERCENTAGE IS APPLIED TO THE AVERAGE MARKET VALUE OF THE INVESTMENTS AT THE END OF THE PRIOR YEAR. AVERAGE MARKET VALUE IS BASED ON THE PREVIOUS 12 QUARTERS. THE FOUNDATION CLASSIFIES AS PERMANENTLY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS THE ORIGINAL VALUE OF GIFTS DONATED TO THE PERMANENT ENDOWMENT AND THE ORIGINAL VALUE OF SUBSEQUENT GIFTS TO THE PERMANENT ENDOWMENT. THE UNDISTRIBUTED AMOUNTS EARNED ARE INCLUDED IN PERMANENTLY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS AS WELL. IN ACCORDANCE WITH ACT 141, THE FOUNDATION HAS ADOPTED A WRITTEN INVESTMENT POLICY, OF WHICH A SECTION SPECIFICALLY RELATES TO THE ENDOWMENT FUND. THE FOUNDATION CONSIDERS THE FOLLOWING FACTORS IN MAKING A DETERMINATION TO SET A SPENDING RATE: 1. PROTECTING THE CORPUS OF THE ENDOWMENT FUND; 2. PRESERVING THE SPENDING POWER OF THE ASSETS; 3. OBTAINING MAXIMUM INVESTMENT RETURN WITH REASONABLE RISK AND OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATION; AND 4. COMPLYING WITH APPLICABLE LAWS. PART X, LINE 2: THE FOUNDATION IS A TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE U.S. INTERNAL REVENUE CODE (IRC) AND IS ALSO CLASSIFIED AS AN ENTITY THAT IS NOT A PRIVATE FOUNDATION UNDER THE MEANING OF SECTION 509(A) OF THE IRC. IN ADDITION, THE FOUNDATION HAS NOT IDENTIFIED ANY MATERIAL UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS REQUIRING AN ACCRUAL OR DISCLOSURE IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
