Assist, Inc., a § 501(c)(3) organization, receives the following sources of support during the tax year. 
General public for services rendered$22,000
Governmental unit A for services rendered30,000
Governmental unit B for services rendered3,000
Governmental unit C for services rendered8,000
Gross investment income19,000
Contributions from individual disqualified persons18,000
Is Assist, Inc., classified as a private foundation? Explain.

What will be an ideal response?


To not be classified as a private foundation, Assist must receive broad public support. To receive broad public support, Assist must satisfy both an external support test and an internal support test.?The external support test requires that more than one-third of Assist’s support for the taxable year come from the governmental units and the general public. For this purpose, support from a governmental unit is counted only to the extent of the greater of $5,000 or 1% of the total support.??

Governmental unit A$ 5,000
Governmental unit B3,000
Governmental unit C5,000
General public  22,000
External support$35,000
?Since the $35,000 exceeds one-third of the total support of $100,000, the external support test is satisfied.?The internal support test requires that no more than one-third of the total support be from gross investment income and unrelated business taxable income (net of the related tax). The internal support test also is satisfied since $19,000 does not exceed one-third of $100,000.?Therefore, Assist, Inc., is not classified as a private foundation because it is broadly supported.  It is a public charity.
