HOWEVER, THE ORGANIZATION CONTINUES TO BELIEVE IT QUALIFIES AS A PUBLICLY SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION UNDER THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST. YARD SCIENCES FOUNDATION OPERATES FOR A BROAD CHARITABLE AND EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE: EXPANDING ACCESS TO HANDS-ON BIOMOLECULAR EXPERIMENTS, SURGICAL SCIENCE WORKSHOPS, PROFESSIONAL-GRADE LABORATORY EXPERIENCES, AND SCIENCE MENTORING FOR STUDENTS, INCLUDING STUDENTS FROM UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES AND STUDENTS EXPERIENCING FINANCIAL HARDSHIP. THE ORGANIZATION'S MISSION AND PROGRAMS ARE DIRECTED TOWARD INCREASING ACCESS TO SCIENCE EDUCATION, SCHOLARSHIPS, MENTORING, FIELD TRIPS, AND PROJECT-BASED LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS IN GRADES 3 THROUGH 12, RATHER THAN SERVING THE PRIVATE INTERESTS OF ANY DONOR OR LIMITED GROUP.ALTHOUGH SUPPORT WAS CONCENTRATED IN THE CURRENT MEASUREMENT PERIOD, THE ORGANIZATION MAINTAINS AN ACTIVE AND ONGOING EFFORT TO BROADEN ITS BASE OF PUBLIC SUPPORT THROUGH CORPORATE PARTNERSHIPS, SPONSORSHIPS, DONATIONS, SCHOLARSHIPS, PROGRAM OFFERINGS, AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH. YARD SCIENCES FOUNDATION'S PUBLICLY DESCRIBED SPONSORSHIP LEVELS ARE DESIGNED TO FUND STUDENT PARTICIPATION IN ITS PREMEDICAL, SURGICAL, MOLECULAR BIOLOGY, MIDDLE SCHOOL BIOLOGY, AND CHEMISTRY PROGRAMS, FURTHER DEMONSTRATING THAT DONOR SUPPORT IS SOLICITED TO ADVANCE CHARITABLE PROGRAMMING FOR A BROADER STUDENT POPULATION. THE ORGANIZATION IS ALSO GOVERNED BY A BOARD WITH INDIVIDUALS FROM EDUCATION, HEALTHCARE, LAW, BUSINESS, AND NONPROFIT BACKGROUNDS, WHICH SUPPORTS INDEPENDENT OVERSIGHT AND OPERATION IN A MANNER CONSISTENT WITH PUBLICLY SUPPORTED CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS.BASED ON THESE FACTORS, THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT THE FAILURE TO MEET THE MECHANICAL ONE-THIRD PUBLIC SUPPORT TEST WAS THE RESULT OF TEMPORARY REVENUE CONCENTRATION FROM ONE LARGE DONOR RATHER THAN A CHANGE IN ITS CHARITABLE PURPOSE, PUBLIC ACCESSIBILITY, GOVERNANCE, OR FUNDRAISING STRATEGY. ACCORDINGLY, THE ORGANIZATION CONTINUES TO PRESENT ITSELF AS A PUBLIC CHARITY AND BELIEVES IT MEETS THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES CONSIDERATIONS APPLICABLE TO PUBLICLY SUPPORTED ORGANIZATIONS.
