UNDER THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST, AN ORGANIZATION WILL BE TREATED AS PUBLICLY SUPPORTED IF IT NORMALLY RECEIVES A SUBSTANTIAL PART OF ITS SUPPORT FROM GOVERNMENTAL UNITS, FROM DIRECT OR INDIRECT CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC, OR FROM A COMBINATION OF THESE SOURCES, AND MEETS CERTAIN OTHER REQUIREMENTS.
