| Facts And Circumstances Test | Rewire (formerly known as RH Reality Check) was incorporated and became a registered 501(c)(3) public charity on December 22, 2009. Rewire received its determination letter in 2011, operating under a fiscal sponsor prior to 2012. While 2015 is the organization's seventh tax year, it has only had 4 full years of activity represented on Schedule A. The public support percentage is expected to increase once five full years of activities are represented on Schedule A. Rewire is organized and operated as to attract new and additional public support and funding on a continuous basis. The organization maintains a continuous and bona fide fundraising program for solicitation of funds from the general public. Part of Rewire's fundraising program includes email and online solicitation, which garnered Rewire numerous donations from 340 different individuals in 2015. The ongoing fundraising efforts are expected to raise the public support percentage in future years. Its current sources of support include a variety of private foundations, public charities, businesses and individuals. While certain large foundation grants may continue in the near term, this support is crucial to the support of the program service activities that accomplish Rewire's exempt purpose. Rewire expects to continue to solicit qualifying public support to assist in carrying out the program activities. As illustrated in in the program activities in Part III of the Form 990, Rewire's program services directly benefit the general public on a continuing basis. Rewire educates and provides news, information and commentary on key reproductive health issues in the United States and around the world. We seek to provide ideas and information on relevant developments at the state, national and international levels.Finally, Rewire's governing body represents the broad interest of the public, with no one individual or group of individuals having undue control or influence over the organization's funding or affairs. The board members bring important skill sets and qualifications that help the organization plan and achieve its strategic objectives. Rewire qualifies as a publicly supported organization under the facts and circumstances test set forth in Treas. Reg. 1.170A-9(f)(3). Rewire's public support exceeded the 10 percent threshold for public charities. Furthermore, Rewire's ongoing fundraising efforts, its sources of support, its governing body and the programs it conducts all demonstrate sufficient public support to meet the facts and circumstances test. Based upon all of the above, the "facts and circumstances" substantiate that Rewire continues to operate as a public charity. | FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt |
