Facts And Circumstances Test1 - A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF CAC'S SUPPORT HAS COME FROM VARIOUS INDIVIDUALS AND FOUNDATIONS AND NOT FROM RELATED FAMILY MEMBERS. 2 - THE ACTIVITIES OF CAC ARE NOT LIMITED BY THE CONTRIBUTOR'S OR THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS. THE CONTRIBUTIONS ARE GIVEN TO CAC TO PROVIDE INFORMATION TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC.3 - THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS REPRESENTS THE BROAD INTERESTS OF THE PUBLIC. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ARE COMMUNITY LEADERS AND HAVE SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE THAT CAC IS ABLE TO UTILIZE.4 - CAC STRIVES TO PRESERVE THE RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OF ALL AMERICANS AND TO PROTECT THOSE INDIVDUALS.5 - MANAGEMENT AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ARE AWARE OF THE PUBLIC SUPPORT REQUIREMENT TO MAINTAIN CAC'S STATUS AS A PUBLIC CHARITY. CAC IS WORKING AGGRESSIVELY TO RAISE THE VISIBILITY OF THE ORGANIZATION THROUGH SOCIAL NETWORKING WITH THE GOAL OF DEVELOPING A MUCH LARGER COMMUNITY OF SMALL-DONORS AND, SIMULTANEOUSLY, WORKING HARD TO INCREASE OUR PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE THROUGH FOUNDATION AND LARGE-DONOR FUNDRAISING EFFORTS.FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt
