In the past several years, oil and gas companies have slowly moved their offices out of the area taking the industry's geological jobs with them. Because of this, contributions of public support have also steadily decreased. With the current low price of oil, and due to the longevity and therefore appreciation of the foundation's investments, the investment income of the foundation has increased. The result is that due to the decreased pool of contributors and the increased value of investments, its been harder for the organization to meet the 33-1/3 percent public support test. Now that this has come to the organization's attention, more effort is being made to communicate this information to the society's members as well the oil and gas industry in the area for purposes of seeking an increase in public support. The organization's percentage is currently at 13.58% compared to the most recent prior years percentages of 18.66%, 27.14%, 27.76%, and 31.61%. Please accept these facts and circumstances for purposes of meeting the 10% or greater facts-and-circumstances test on Form 990, Schedule A, Part II, Section C, Line 17.
