      <FactsAndCircumstancesTest>The Organization has maintained a continuous and bona fide program for solicitation of funds from the general public, community, government unities, and other charities. The public support percentages for FY2011 and FY2010 were approximately 28&amp; and 30%, respectively, only as some donations for use in the Organization's charitable programs from several donors were larger than anticipated. As contained in the program descriptions in Part III of Form 990, the Organization's program services directly benefit the general public on a continuous basis. While certain large grants may continue in the near term, this support is crucial to the Organization's exempt purpose of strengthening the effectiveness, sustainability, and scale of the youth service and service-learning fields. The Organization expects to continue to solicit qualifying public support to assist in carrying out these programs. Finally, the Organization's governing body represents the broad interest of the public, with no one individual or related group of individuals having undue control or influence over the Organization's funding or affairs. These Board members bring important skill sets and qualifications that help the Organization plan and achieve its strategic objectives. Accordingly, the "facts and circumstances" substantiate that the Organization continues to operate as a public charity.</FactsAndCircumstancesTest>

        <Explanation>Schedule I, Part I, Line 2: YSA requires budgets from all our grantees and they sign Memorandums of Understanding (MOU) regarding their responsibilities. Per the MOU, there are specific expenses they can incur based upon the budget, but others specifically unallowed (certain salaries, long-term expenses not associated with the service project, a limited percentage devoted to food and T-shirts or other such marketing items). A deviation in the use of funds from what was proposed in their application needs to be approved by YSA, which is also spelled out in the MOU.</Explanation>
