THE ORGANIZATION HAS CREATED A ROBUST COMMUNITY OF PATIENTS OVER ITS FIRST FIVE YEARS IN OPERATION AND IS DEMONSTRABLY A PUBLIC CHARITY THAT IS SERVING PEOPLE IN NEED, AND ESPECIALLY LOWER INCOME AMERICANS WHO CANNOT AFFORD THEIR PRESCRIPTION DRUGS. P4AD IS THE ONLY FULLY INDEPENDENT NATIONAL PATIENT ORGANIZATION FOCUSED EXCLUSIVELY ON PROMOTING POLICIES THAT WILL LOWER THE PRICES OF PRESCRIPTION DRUGS. WE DO NOT ACCEPT FUNDING FROM ANY ORGANIZATIONS THAT PROFIT FROM THE DEVELOPMENT OR DISTRIBUTION OF PRESCRIPTION DRUGS. IN THE FIRST FIVE YEARS OF OUR EXISTENCE, P4AD STRATEGICALLY CHOSE TO AVOID ASKING PATIENTS FOR FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS BECAUSE WE KNEW MANY WERE ALREADY STRUGGLING TO PAY HIGH PRICES FOR THEIR MEDICINES - THAT'S WHY THEY ENGAGED WITH US. ONE OUT OF FOUR AMERICANS REPORT IT IS VERY DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO AFFORD THEIR PRESCRIPTION DRUGS [1](KFF, "PUBLIC OPINION ON PRESCRIPTION DRUGS AND THEIR PRICES" (APRIL 5, 2022), AT HTTPS://WWW.KFF.ORG/HEALTH-COSTS/POLL-FINDING/PUBLIC-OPINION-ON-PRESCRIPTION-DRUGS-AND-THEIR-PRICES/ LAST ACCESSED OCTOBER 20, 2022). ALMOST ONE IN THREE SAY THEY HAVE NOT TAKEN PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS AS DIRECTED BECAUSE OF COSTS. PATIENTS NEEDED A PLATFORM TO AMPLIFY THEIR STORIES TO POLICYMAKERS AND ELECTED OFFICIALS, AND WE BELIEVED IT WAS INAPPROPRIATE TO ASK THE VERY PEOPLE WHO ARE UNABLE TO AFFORD THE LIFESAVING MEDICATIONS THEY NEED TO SEND US MONEY-ESPECIALLY AS WE WERE NEW ON THE SCENE AND HAD NOT ESTABLISHED A RECORD OF EFFECTIVENESS. SEE 26 CFR § 1.170A-9(F)(3)(III)(B) ("IN DETERMINING WHAT IS A "REPRESENTATIVE NUMBER OF PERSONS," CONSIDERATION WILL BE GIVEN TO THE TYPE OF ORGANIZATION INVOLVED, THE LENGTH OF TIME IT HAS BEEN IN EXISTENCE, AND WHETHER IT LIMITS ITS ACTIVITIES TO A PARTICULAR COMMUNITY OR REGION OR TO A SPECIAL FIELD WHICH CAN BE EXPECTED TO APPEAL TO A LIMITED NUMBER OF PERSONS"). INSTEAD OF SEEKING FUNDING FROM THOSE WHO FACE DISPROPORTIONATE FINANCIAL HARM FROM HIGH DRUG PRICES, WE SOUGHT FUNDING FROM OTHER SOURCES AND ASKED PATIENTS FOR THEIR PERSONAL STORIES AND EMAIL ADDRESSES WHICH FORM THE BASIS OF - THE CURRENCY OF - ALL OUR ORGANIZING AND COMMUNICATIONS WORK. SEE 26 CFR § 1.170A-9(F)(3)(II) ("CONSIDERATION WILL ALSO BE GIVEN TO THE FACT THAT AN ORGANIZATION, IN ITS EARLY YEARS OF EXISTENCE, MAY LIMIT THE SCOPE OF ITS SOLICITATION TO PERSONS DEEMED MOST LIKELY TO PROVIDE SEED MONEY IN AN AMOUNT SUFFICIENT TO ENABLE IT TO COMMENCE ITS CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES AND EXPAND ITS SOLICITATION PROGRAM"). THE CORE OF OUR WORK IS TO RAISE UP PATIENT STORIES, AMPLIFY THEIR VOICES AND ENGAGE AND TRAIN PEOPLE TO COMMUNICATE ON THEIR OWN BEHALF. SINCE FEBRUARY 2017 WHEN WE PUBLICLY LAUNCHED P4AD, WE HAVE COLLECTED MORE THAN 35,000 PATIENT STORIES WHICH ARE DISPLAYED ON OUR WEBSITE. PATIENTS FOR AFFORDABLE DRUGS, MAP OF STORIES COLLECTED, AT HTTPS://MAP.PATIENTSFORAFFORDABLEDRUGS.ORG/ (LAST ACCESSED OCTOBER 20, 2022). OUR EMAIL COMMUNITY HAS GROWN FROM ZERO TO MORE THAN 420,000 NOW, DEMONSTRATING BROAD SUPPORT AND ENGAGEMENT WITH THE PEOPLE WE ARE WORKING TO SERVE. OUR ACTIVIST SMS TEXT PROGRAM ENGAGES MORE THAN 88,000 AMERICANS - A SIGNIFICANT PROPORTION OF WHOM READ AND TAKE ACTION WEEKLY PROMPTED BY OUR COMMUNICATIONS. WE NOW HAVE OVER 300 TRAINED ADVOCATES ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY WHO GIVE THEIR TIME AND ENERGY IN SUPPORT OF P4AD. OUR PATIENT ADVOCATES WRITE BLOGS, LETTERS TO THE EDITOR, SPEAK TO THE NEWS MEDIA, AND VISIT WITH THEIR ELECTED OFFICIALS. THEY MAKE THEIR STORIES KNOWN AND RAISE THEIR VOICES FOR CHANGE. AS WE HAVE BUILT A RECORD OF EFFECTIVENESS-IN PARTICULAR BY HAVING TEN OF OUR ADVOCATES MEET WITH THE PRESIDENT, 16 TESTIFY IN CONGRESS, MORE THAN 80 APPEAR IN MAJOR NEWS STORIES-WE HAVE IMPLEMENTED A FUNDRAISING AND DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY TO BROADEN OUR BASE OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT. NOW THAT WE ARE ESTABLISHED AND CAN POINT TO CONCRETE ACHIEVEMENTS ON BEHALF OF PATIENTS, WE HAVE BEGUN TO ASK PATIENTS AND POTENTIAL ALLIES FOR SMALL DONATIONS, AND WE ARE INCREASING THE FUNDING FROM THOSE SOURCES, IN ADDITION TO ACQUIRING THEIR STORIES, EMAILS AND ENGAGEMENT OF THEIR TIME AND EFFORT IN SUPPORT OF OUR WORK. WE ARE ALSO SEEKING TO INCREASE GRANTS FROM PUBLIC CHARITIES AS WELL AND HAVE IMPROVED THE PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE. 26 CFR § 1.170A-9(F)(3)(II). REGARDLESS, IF INDIVIDUALS ARE WILLING TO DONATE THEIR TIME, VOICE AND STORIES IN LARGE ENOUGH NUMBERS IN SUPPORT OF A CAUSE IN WHICH THEY BELIEVE, THOSE EXPRESSIONS AND ACTIONS ESTABLISH PUBLIC SUPPORT. P4AD CLEARLY PROVIDES THESE SERVICES TO THE BENEFIT OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS AND SUPPORTS GENERAL REFORMS THAT HAVE THE BACKING OF 80 PERCENT OF AMERICANS [2] (KFF HEALTH TRACKING POLL - MAY 2021: PRESCRIPTION DRUG PRICES TOP PUBLIC'S HEALTH CARE PRIORITIES HTTPS://WWW.KFF.ORG/HEALTH-COSTS/POLL-FINDING/KFF-HEALTH-TRACKING-POLL-MAY-2021/ LAST ACCESSED OCTOBER 20, 2022). IT IS TO THE BENEFIT OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC THAT THE COSTS OF PRESCRIPTION DRUGS BE LOWER, AND P4AD CENTERS ITS PROGRAM AROUND SERVING AND COLLECTING STORIES FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC THAT IT SERVES. 26 CFR § 1.170A-9(F)(3)(III)(D). FOR THESE REASONS, WE BELIEVE THAT THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES CLEARLY INDICATE THAT P4AD IS A PUBLICLY SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION.
