Form And Line Reference	PART II, SECTION C, LINE 17A, FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST:	FormAndLineReferenceDesc
Explanation	THE PUBLIC FORUM INSTITUTE QUALIFIES AS A PUBLIC CHARITY UNDER THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST OF 1.170A-9T(F)(3) OF THE TREASURY REGULATIONS, BASED ON THE FOLLOWING: 1. THE PUBLIC FORUM INSTITUES SUPPORT, AS REPORTED FOR 2013, IS 17.70%, THEREBY MEETING THE REQUIREMENT OF 1.170A-9T(F)(3)(I). 2. THE PUBLIC FORUM INSTITUTE IS ORGANIZED AND OPERATED TO ATTRACT NEW AND ADDITIONAL PUBLIC AND GOVERMENT FUNDING ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS. SINCE 2004, THE INSTITUTE HAS CONTINUOUSLY AND AGGRESSIVELY SOUGHT PUBLIC SUPPORT FROM A VARIETY OF SOURCES. THESE DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS ARE GUIDED BY A DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT VEHICLE FOR GARNERING PUBLIC SUPPORT HAS PROVEN TO BE DRIVEN AROUND THE INSTITUTES PUBLIC FORUMS THAT ENGAGE CITIZENS,THEREBY MEETING THE REQUIREMENT OF 1.170A-9T(F)(3)(II) 3. THE INSTITUTE FROM 2009 TO 2013 HAD SUCCEEDED IN RAISING $1,174,326 FROM PUBLIC SOURCES, WHICH CONSTITUTE APPROXIMATELY 17.70% OF ITS TOTAL REVENUE DURING THAT TIME FRAME AND IS GREATER THAN THE MINIMUM 10% PUBLIC SUPPORT REQUIREMENT. THE INSTITUTE IS CURRENTLY PURSUING A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO CONTINUE TO INCREASE THIS LEVEL OF PUBLIC SUPPORT TO KEEP IT WAY OVER THE 10% MINIMUM, THEREBY MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF 1.170A-9T(F)(3)(III)(A). 4. SINCE ITS INCEPTION, THE INSTITUTE HAS ENJOYED SUPPORT FROM A BROAD SPECTRUM OF INDIVIDUALS, ORGANIZATIONS AND COMPANIES. FOR INSTANCE, IN 2007, NEARLY 50 SUPPORTERS PROVIDED SUPPORT OF $10,000 OR LESS, TO THE INSTITUTE. THE INSTITUTE OS CONTINUALLY SEEKING MONEY/SUPPORT FROM THESE AND OTHER CORPORATE SOURCES WITH A NUMBER OF COMPANIES CONSISTENTLY PROVIDING ANNUAL SUPPORT TO THE INSTITUE. ANOTHER EXAMPLE WAS IN 2006, WHEN THE INSITUTE RECEIVED $1.1 MILLION IN REVENUE FROM FEDERAL AGENCIES, INCLUDING THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES. IN THIS RESPECT, THE INSTITUTE MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS OF 1.17A-9T(F)(3)(III)(B). 5. THE INSTITUTES BOARD OF DIRECTORS IS COMPASED OF A SMALL GROUP OF DISTINGUISHED REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE WORLDS OF BUSINESS INCLUDING FORMER GOVERMENT AND NON-PROFIT LEADERS. HOWEVER, THE INSISTUTE RELIES ON SUPPORT FROM SEVERAL ADVISORS NOT ON THE BOARD AND CONDUCTS ALL ITS PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT WORK WITH THE PARTICIPANTS OF LOCAL COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS. ALMOST ALL FORUMS AND ACTIVITIES GAIN THE INPUT AND NON-FINANCIAL SUPPORT FROM A WIDE RANGE OF LOCAL NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS THAT SERVE AS PARTNERS OR NON-FINANCIAL CO-SPONSORS, THEREBY MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF 1.170A-9T(F)(3)(III)(C). 6. THE INSTITUTE IS DEDICATED TO IMPROVING PUBLIC DISCLOSURE ABOUT ISSUES OF THE DAY. ALL EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES ARE DESIGNED EXCLUSIVELY TO ENABLE THOSE WHO WOULD OTHERWISE NOT HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE THEIR VOICE IN PUBLIC DISCOURSE TO DO SO AND ARE ALL OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AND OFFERED AT NO CHARGE, THEREBY MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF 1.170A-9T(F)(3)(III)(D).
