Facts And Circumstances TestThe SENS Research Foundation ("SRF") meets the facts and circumstances test of section 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) and regulation 1.170A-9(f)(3). The Organization maintains a qualifying program for solicitation of funds and the Organization is of the nature of an organization which is publicly supported.The Organization normally receives a substantial part of its support from contributions made directly or indirectly by the general public. The percentage of support normally received by the Organization from contributions made directly or indirectly by the general public is at least 10 percent of the total support normally received by the Organization. In the 2013 tax year, 21% of SRF's support came from public funding. SRF's financial support consists of a combination of foundations, corporations, government bodies, and individual donors. In addition to continued financial support from existing donors, SRF plans to solicit contributions through phone, email, as well as donations made on the SRF website. SRF is optimistic that the number of supporters will grow further in the coming year. The Organization also maintains a continuous and bona-fide program for solicitation of funds from the general public or community. Since the Organization is in its early years of existence, it has limited the scope of its solicitation to persons or organizations deemed most likely to provide seed money in an amount sufficient to enable it to commence its charitable activities and expand its solicitation program. Additionally, the following facts and circumstances are pertinent to the Organization:The SENS Research Foundation ("SRF") works to develop, promote and ensure widespread access to regenerative medicine solutions to the disabilities and diseases of aging. It is achieving this goal through a combination of scientific research projects, educational programs, and outreach efforts. SRF's governing body is representative of the broad interests of the public. There are 7 directors on its board, including scientists, educators, and business people with experience and connections to universities, medical centers, and the scientific community. SRF's directors are internationally positioned to better support the global community's needs.SRF routinely publishes results of funded projects in peer-reviewed journals and presents those findings at internationally attended scientific conferences. SRF has a routinely updated listing of all its publications at http://sens.org/research/recent-publications that is made readily available to the general public. SRF puts on an academic conference bi-annually at Queens' College in Cambridge, UK. The SENS6 conference in 2013 had 70 academic presentations, including talks from all SRF-sponsored researchers. In addition, videos of all presentations have been made available at no cost on the SRF website and YouTube channel. Members of the scientific community, educators, and medical professionals participate in SRF projects. We have 15 extramural research projects that include Harvard University, Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine, Stanford University, Yale University, and Cambridge University, as well at 3 intramural research projects at the SRF Research Center in Mountain View, California. SRF also has a 24-member, world-class Research Advisory Board featuring leading scientists in the international community. SRF's educational program hosts research scholars and volunteers throughout the academic year at their Research Center, as well as their nationally and internationally affiliated organizations.FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt
