Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDescExplanationExplanationTxt
Part III, Item 4aIn 2013 the Town of Aquinnah established and maintains a separate, audited internal account entitled the Gay Head Lighthouse Gift Fund for the sole purpose of collecting and then disbursing the funds required to the plan for (i.e. geological tests and analysis re alternate sites) and implement the move and restoration of the historic Gay Head Light, which due to continuing erosion of nearby cliffs and would in due course slide into the ocean unless moved. This project was estimated to cost $3 million (now revised upwards to $3.5 million). (The Lighthouse was successfully moved in the spring of 2015 but much continued site work and restoration of the Lighthouse remains to be completed.) The Town received confirmation from the IRS that contributions to the Lighthouse Fund are tax deductible under Section 170 (c) (1) of the Internal Revenue Code in the same manner as permitted under Section 501 (c) (3). However, some donors advised that they wanted to make their contributions through an entity having a Section 501 (c) (3) status (i.e. AGHCA) or (ii) through entities like charitable trusts the governing instruments of which specify that they will make grants/contributions only to organizations that have a Section 501 (c) (3) status (i.e. AGHCA). To help facilitate this effort, AGHCA agreed to accept donations from such individuals and such charitable trusts and to the contribute the same amounts to the said Lighthouse Fund.
