QUALIFIES AS A "PUBLICLY SUPPORTED" ORGANIZATION BECAUSE IT MEETS THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST PRESCRIBED IN TREASURY REGULATION SECTION 1.170A-9(F)(3), AS DISCUSSED BELOW. 1. PERCENTAGE OF PUBLIC SUPPORT. THE ORGANIZATION HAS NORMALLY RECEIVED MORE THAN 10 PERCENT PUBLIC SUPPORT. ITS CUMULATIVE PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE FOR 2008-2012 IS 13.73%. THIS FIGURE WOULD BE HIGHER BUT FOR THE GENEROUS SUPPORT OF A SINGLE DONOR IN THE ORGANIZATION'S EARLY YEARS. THAT DONOR IS NEITHER A FOUNDER NOR A MANAGER OF THE ORGANIZATION, NOR IS HE RELATED IN ANY WAY TO THE ORGANIZATIONS FOUNDERS, BOARD MEMBERS, OR OFFICERS. SIGNIFICANTLY, THE ORGANIZATION'S PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE IS INCREASING. FOR THE YEAR OF THIS TAX RETURN -- CALENDAR YEAR 2012 -- THE PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE IS 22.6%. AT THE TIME OF FILING THIS RETURN, 2013 IS MORE THAN ONE-HALF OVER, AND BASED ON PRESENT FIGURES, THE 2013 PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE IS LIKELY TO EXCEED 50%. 2. ATTRACTION OF NEW PUBLIC SUPPORT. THE ORGANIZATION HAS RECEIVED GRANTS, AND ANTICIPATES RECEIVING ADDITIONAL GRANTS, FROM U.S. GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, WHICH ARE TREATED ENTIRELY AS PUBLIC SUPPORT. IN 2012 IT RECEIVED GRANTS TOTALING $198,063 FROM OTHER PUBLIC CHARITIES, INCLUDING THE WORLD WILDLIFE FUND AND THE WILDLIFE CONSERVATION SOCIETY, WHICH ARE ALSO COUNTED ENTIRELY AS PUBLIC SUPPORT. IN ADDITION, THE ORGANIZATION HAS SIGNIFICANTLY EXPANDED ITS ACTIVITIES AND IS MAINTAINING A BONA FIDE AND CONTINUOUS PROGRAM TO ATTRACT ADDITIONAL PUBLIC SUPPORT AS WELL AS GOVERNMENTAL GRANTS. IT HAS MOVED ITS OPERATIONAL BASE TO WASHINGTON, D.C. IN ORDER TO FACILITATE ITS FUNDRAISING, AND HAS RETAINED THE SERVICES OF A FUND-RAISER. THE ORGANIZATION'S DIVERSIFYING DONOR BASE, INCLUDING INDIVIDUALS, PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS, THE U.S. GOVERNMENT, AND 501(C)(3) PUBLIC CHARITIES, REFLECTS ITS GROWING SUCCESS IN ATTRACTING PUBLIC SUPPORT. FOR EXAMPLE, AT THE END OF 2012, THE ORGANIZATION SUBMITTED EIGHT GRANT PROPOSALS TO THE U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE TO SUPPORT PROGRAM ACTIVITIES IN 2013. AS OF MID-2013, SEVEN OUT OF THESE EIGHT PROPOSALS HAVE BEEN APPROVED FOR A TOTAL OF ALMOST $500,000. COMBINED WITH OTHER DONATIONS, PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR 2013 IS ALREADY OVER $1,000,000. 3. PROVIDING SERVICES FOR PUBLIC BENEFIT. THE ACTIVITIES OF GRZIMEK'S HELP FOR THREATENED WILDLIFE RESPOND TO THE CONCERNS OF A BROAD SEGMENT OF THE U.S. GENERAL PUBLIC WHO ARE INTERESTED IN ENDANGERED SPECIES OF WILDLIFE AND EFFORTS TO PRESERVE THEM. 4. REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNING BODY. THE ORGANIZATION'S BOARD MEMBERS HAVE NO FAMILY RELATIONSHIP TO ONE ANOTHER. RATHER, THEY CONSIST OF PERSONS WHO HAVE A WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE IN THE WILDLIFE CONSERVATION FIELD. BOARD MEMBERS ARE EMPLOYED IN THE PRIVATE, ACADEMIC, NON-PROFIT, AND U.S. GOVERNMENT SECTORS, REPRESENTING A DIVERSITY OF VIEWPOINTS.
