Instructions for Schedule A
(Form 990 or 990-EZ)

Department of the Treasury
Internal Revenue Service

Public Charity Status and Public Support
Section references are to the Internal
Revenue Code unless otherwise noted.

General Instructions
Note. Terms in bold are defined in the
Glossary of the Instructions for Form 990.

Purpose of Schedule
Schedule A (Form 990 or 990-EZ) is used
by an organization that files Form 990 or
Form 990-EZ to provide the required
information about public charity status
and public support.

Who Must File
An organization that answered “Yes” to
Form 990, Part IV, line 1, must complete
and attach Schedule A (Form 990 or
990-EZ) to Form 990. Any section
501(c)(3) organization (or organization
treated as such) that files a Form 990-EZ
must complete and attach this schedule
to Form 990-EZ. These include:
• Organizations that are described in
section 501(c)(3) and are public
charities;
• Organizations that are described in
sections 501(e), 501(f), 501(k), or 501(n);
and
• Nonexempt charitable trusts
described in section 4947(a)(1) that are
not treated as private foundations.
If an organization is not required to file
Form 990 or 990-EZ but chooses to do
so, it must file a complete return and
provide all of the information requested,
including the required schedules.
Any organization that is exempt
TIP from tax under section 501(c)(3)
but is a private foundation and not
a public charity should not file Form 990,
Form 990-EZ, or Schedule A (Form 990
or 990-EZ), but should file Form 990-PF.
See instructions to Part I.

Accounting Method
When completing Schedule A (Form 990
or 990-EZ), the organization must use the
same accounting method it checked on
Form 990, Part XII, line 1, or Form
990-EZ, line G. The organization must
use this accounting method in reporting
all amounts on Schedule A (Form 990 or
990-EZ), regardless of the accounting
method it used in completing Schedule A
(Form 990 or 990-EZ) for prior years.
If the accounting method the
organization used in completing the 2010
Schedule A (Form 990 or 990-EZ) was
Jan 20, 2012

different from the accounting method
checked on the 2011 Form 990, Part XII,
line 1, or the 2011 Form 990-EZ, line G,
the organization should not report in
either Part II or Part III the amounts
reported in the applicable columns of the
2010 Schedule A (Form 990 or 990-EZ).
Instead, the organization should report all
amounts in Part II or Part III using the
accounting method checked on the 2011
Form 990, Part XII, line 1, or the 2011
Form 990-EZ, line G.
Example 1. An organization checks
“Cash” on Form 990, Part XII, line 1. It
should report the amounts in Part II or
Part III using the cash method. If the
organization filed a 2010 Schedule A
(Form 990 or 990-EZ) using the cash
method, it should report in the 2007
through 2010 columns on the 2011
Schedule A (Form 990 or 990-EZ) the
same amounts that it reported in the 2007
through 2010 columns on the 2010
Schedule A (Form 990 or 990-EZ).
Example 2. An organization checks
“Accrual” on Form 990, Part XII, line 1.
The organization reports grants on Form
990, Part VIII, line 1, in accordance with
SFAS 116 (ACS 958) (see instructions
for Form 990, Part VIII, line 1). The
organization receives a grant to be paid in
future years. The organization should
report the grants’s present value on the
2011 Schedule A (Form 990 or Form
990-EZ). The organization should report
accruals of present value increments to
the unpaid grant on Schedule A (Form
990 or 990-EZ) in future years.
The IRS has eliminated the
advance ruling process for section
CAUTION 501(c)(3) organizations described
in sections 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) and 509(a)(2).
Organizations with an advance ruling that
expired on or after June 9, 2008, no
longer need to file Form 8734, Support
Schedule for Advance Ruling Period, after
5 years to receive a definitive ruling.
Organizations described in sections
170(b)(1)(A)(vi) and 509(a)(2) now use a
5-year period that includes the current tax
year and the four preceding tax years in
computing their public support
percentages.

Cat. No. 11294Q

Specific Instructions
Part I. Reason for Public
Charity Status
Lines 1–11
Check only one of the boxes on lines 1
through 11 to indicate the reason the
organization is a public charity for the
tax year. The reason can be the same as
stated in the organization’s tax-exempt
determination letter from the IRS
(“exemption letter”) or subsequent IRS
determination letter, or it can be different.
An organization that does not check any
of the boxes on lines 1 through 11 should
not file Form 990, Form 990-EZ, or
Schedule A (Form 990 or 990-EZ) for the
tax year, but should file Form 990-PF
instead.
If an organization believes there is
more than one reason why it is a public
charity, it should check only one box but
can explain the other reasons it qualifies
for public charity status in Part IV.
The IRS does not update its records
on an organization’s public charity status
based on a change the organization
makes on Schedule A (Form 990 and
Form 990-EZ). Thus, an organization that
checks a public charity status different
from the reason stated in its exemption
letter or subsequent determination letter,
although not required, may submit a
request to the IRS Exempt Organizations
Determinations Office for a determination
letter confirming that it qualifies for the
new public charity status if the
organization wants the IRS records to
reflect that new public charity status (also
refer to private foundation status). See
Section 9 of Rev. Proc. 2011-4, 2011-1
I.R.B. 123 (or latest annual update) for
instructions. A $400 user fee must be
submitted with such a request. See
Section 6.08 of Rev. Proc. 2011-8,
2011-1 I.R.B. 237.
A subordinate organization of a
group exemption that is filing its own
return, but has not received its own tax
exemption determination letter from the
IRS, should check the public charity
status box which most accurately
describes its public charity status.
An organization that does not know the
public charity status stated in its
exemption letter or subsequent
determination letter should call the

P.O. Box 2508
Cincinnati, OH 45201
See the following examples:
Example 1. The organization
received an exemption letter that it is a
public charity under section
170(b)(1)(A)(vi). For the tax year, it meets
the requirements for public charity status
under section 170(b)(1)(A)(vi). The
organization should check the box on line
7 and complete Part II.
Example 2. The organization
received an exemption letter that it is a
public charity under section
170(b)(1)(A)(vi). For the tax year, it does
not meet the requirements for public
charity status under section
170(b)(1)(A)(vi). Instead, it meets the
requirements for public charity status
under section 509(a)(2). The organization
should check the box on line 9 and
complete Part III.
Example 3. The organization
received an exemption letter that it is a
public charity under section 509(a)(2). For
the tax year, it does not meet the
requirements for public charity status
under section 509(a)(2) or
170(b)(1)(A)(vi). Instead, it meets the
requirements for public charity status as a
supporting organization under section
509(a)(3). The organization should (a)
check the box on line 11; (b) check the
box on either line 11a, 11b, 11c, or 11d;
(c) complete lines 11e through 11g; and
(d) complete the table on line 11h.
Example 4. The organization
received an exemption letter that it is a
supporting organization under section
509(a)(3). Based on Rev. Proc. 2011-10,
2011-2 I.R.B. 294, the organization
submitted a request to the IRS to change
its classification to public charity status
under section 509(a)(2). The organization
received a determination letter that it has
been reclassified as a public charity under
section 509(a)(2). The organization
should check the box on line 9 and
complete Part III.
Example 5. The organization
received an exemption letter that it is a
public charity under section
170(b)(1)(A)(vi). For the tax year, it does
not meet the requirements for public
charity status under section
170(b)(1)(A)(vi) or 509(a)(2), or as a
supporting organization under section
509(a)(3). Nor does it meet the
requirements for public charity status
under any other provision of the Internal
Revenue Code. The organization is a
private foundation and should not file
Form 990, Form 990-EZ, or Schedule A
(Form 990 or 990-EZ) for the tax year but
should file Form 990-PF instead.
Line 1. Check the box for a church,
convention of churches, or association of

churches. Pub. 1828, Tax Guide for
Churches and Religious Organizations,
provides certain characteristics generally
attributed to churches. These attributes of
a church have been developed by the IRS
and by court decisions. They include:
distinct legal existence; recognized creed
and form of worship; definite and distinct
ecclesiastical government; formal code of
doctrine and discipline; distinct religious
history; membership not associated with
any other church or denomination;
organization of ordained ministers;
ordained ministers selected after
completing prescribed courses of study;
literature of its own; established places of
worship; regular congregations; regular
religious services; Sunday schools for the
religious instruction of the young; and
schools for the preparation of its
ministers. The IRS generally uses a
combination of these characteristics,
together with other facts and
circumstances, to determine whether an
organization is considered a church for
federal tax purposes.
Line 2. Check the box for a school
whose primary function is the
presentation of formal instruction, which
regularly has a faculty, a curriculum, an
enrolled body of students, and a place
where educational activities are regularly
conducted. A private school must have a
racially nondiscriminatory policy toward its
students. For details about these
requirements, see Schedule E (Form 990
or 990-EZ) Schools, and its related
instructions.
An organization that checks the
TIP box on line 2 must also complete
Schedule E (Form 990 or 990-EZ)
Schools.
Line 3. Check the box for an
organization whose main purpose is to
provide hospital or medical care. A
rehabilitation institution or an outpatient
clinic can qualify as a hospital if its
principal purposes or functions are the
providing of hospital or medical care, but
the term does not include medical
schools, medical research organizations,
convalescent homes, homes for children
or the aged, or vocational training
institutions for handicapped individuals.
Check the box on line 3 also for a
cooperative hospital service organization
described in section 501(e).
The definition of hospital for
TIP Schedule A (Form 990 or 990-EZ),
Part I, is different from the
definition for Schedule H (Form 990),
Hospitals. Accordingly, see Who Must
File in the Instructions for Schedule H
(Form 990) about whether the
organization also is required to complete
Schedule H (Form 990).
Line 4. Check the box for an
organization whose principal purpose or
function is to engage in medical
research, and that is directly engaged in
the continuous active conduct of medical
research in conjunction with a hospital.
The hospital must be described in section

-2-

501(c)(3) or operated by the federal
government, a state or its political
subdivision, a U.S. possession or its
political subdivision, or the District of
Columbia.
If the organization primarily gives
funds to other organizations (or grants
and scholarships to individuals) for them
to do the research, the organization is not
a medical research organization.
The organization is not required to be
an affiliate of the hospital, but there must
be a joint effort by the organization and
the hospital to maintain continuing close
cooperation in the active conduct of
medical research.
The definition of medical research
TIP for Schedule A (Form 990 or
990-EZ), Part I, is different from
the definition for Schedule H (Form 990),
Hospital. Accordingly, research that is
medical research for purposes of
determining whether an organization is a
medical research organization is not
necessarily medical research for
Schedule H (Form 990), reporting
purposes.
Assets test/expenditure test. An
organization qualifies as a medical
research organization if its principal
purpose is medical research, and if it
devotes more than half its assets, or
spends at least 3.5% of the fair market
value of its endowment, directly in
conducting medical research. Either test
can be met based on a computation
period consisting of the immediately
preceding tax year or the immediately
preceding 4 tax years.
If an organization does not satisfy
either the assets test or the expenditure
test, it can still qualify as a medical
research organization based on the
circumstances involved.
These tests are discussed in
Regulations sections 1.170A-9(d)(2)(v)
and (vi). Under these tests, value the
organization’s assets as of any day in its
tax year using the same day every year,
and value the endowment at fair market
value, using commonly accepted
valuation methods. See Regulations
section 20.2031.
Line 5. Check the box and complete
Part II if the organization receives and
manages property for and expends funds
to benefit a college or university that is
owned or operated by one or more states
or political subdivisions. The school must
be an organization described in the
instructions for line 2.
Expending funds to benefit a college or
university includes acquiring and
maintaining the campus, its buildings and
equipment, granting scholarships and
student loans, and making any other
payments in connection with the normal
functions of colleges and universities.
The organization must meet the same
public support test described below for
line 7. See Rev. Rul. 82-132, 1982-2 C.B.
107.

Line 6. Only a federal, state, or local
government or governmental unit that
has received an exemption letter
recognizing it as exempt from tax under
section 501(c)(3) should check this box.
See Rev. Rul. 60-384, 1960-2 C.B. 172.
Line 7. Check the box and complete
Part II if the organization meets one of the
section 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) public support
tests. See instructions for Part II
regarding how an organization can qualify
as a publicly supported organization
under section 170(b)(1)(A)(vi).
Line 8. Check the box and complete
Part II if the organization is a community
trust and meets a section 170(b)(1)(A)(vi)
public support test. A community trust is a
charity that attracts large contributions
for the benefit of a particular community
or area, often initially from a small number
of donors, and is generally governed by
representatives of its particular
community or area. See Regulations
sections 1.170A-9(f)(10), (11), and (12).
A community trust claiming it
qualifies as a public charity should
CAUTION check the box on line 8 whether it
is structured as a corporation or as a
trust.
Line 9. Check the box and complete
Part III if the organization meets both of
the section 509(a)(2) support tests. See
the instructions for Part III regarding how
an organization can qualify as a publicly
supported organization under section
509(a)(2).
Line 10. Check the box only if the
organization has received a ruling from
the IRS that it is organized and operated
primarily to test for public safety.
Line 11. Check the box if the
organization is a supporting organization.
For more information about supporting
organizations, see Regulations section
1.509(a)-4, and sections 509(a)(3) and
509(f).
If the organization is a supporting
organization, it also must check either box
11a, 11b, 11c, or 11d to show the type of
supporting organization it is. The
organization also must complete lines 11e
through 11g, and the table on line 11h.
Lines 11a – 11d. Use the information
below to determine the supporting
organization’s type. If the organization
checks the box on line 11f, the letter the
organization received from the IRS
identifies its type. If the box checked on
any of lines 11a through 11d is different
from the type stated in the letter, provide
an explanation in Part IV. If the
organization does not check the box on
line 11f, it should check the box on lines
11a to 11d that best describes the type of
supporting organization it is.
• Type I. A Type I supporting
organization is operated, supervised, or
controlled by one or more publicly
supported organizations. If the
organization can answer “Yes” to the
following question, check the box for
Type I.

!

Does the governing body, officers or
membership of the supported public
charity(ies) select a majority of the
supporting organization’s officers,
directors, or trustees?
• Type II. A Type II supporting
organization is supervised or controlled
in connection with one or more publicly
supported organizations. If the
organization can answer “Yes” to the
following question, check the box for
Type II.
Do the same persons, such as
directors, trustees, and officers, supervise
or control the supported organization(s)
and the supporting organization?
• Type III — Functionally Integrated.
Check this box if:
1. The organization is not described in
Type I or Type II above;
2. The organization’s activities
perform the functions of, or carry out the
purposes of, the publicly supported
organizations; and
3. But for the organization’s
involvement, such activities would
normally be engaged in by the publicly
supported organizations themselves.
See Regulations section
1.509(a)-4(i)(3)(ii); Rev. Proc. 2009-32,
2009-28 I.R.B. 142; and any further
related guidance for more information.
• Type III — Other. Check this box if the
organization is not described as a Type I,
Type II, or Type III — Functionally
Integrated organization.
Line 11e. A section 509(a)(3)
supporting organization cannot be
controlled by disqualified persons, other
than foundation managers. Section
509(a)(1) or (2) organizations and
foundation managers who are disqualified
persons only as a result of being
foundation managers are not treated as
disqualified persons.
Line 11f. The organization’s
exemption letter or subsequent
determination letter may state the type of
supporting organization it is. If it does,
check the box on this line. If the letter
does not state the type, leave this line
blank.
A grantor to a section 509(a)(3)
supporting organization, acting in good
faith, can rely on this letter in determining
whether the organization is a Type I, Type
II, or Type III organization. The grantor
also can rely on certain representations
made by the organization, or can rely on
a written reasoned opinion of counsel of
either the grantor or the organization that
the organization is a functionally
integrated Type III supporting
organization. See Rev. Proc. 2009-32,
2009-28 I.R.B. 142.
Line 11g. This information is
necessary to determine whether the
organization is controlled by certain
donors. Section 509(f)(2), which became
effective August 17, 2006, prohibits
certain supporting organizations from
accepting gifts or contributions from
certain persons associated with the

-3-

supported organization of such supporting
organization. For example, if a Type I or
Type III supporting organization accepts a
gift or contribution from a person who
controls the governing body of a
supporting organization or from certain
related persons, then the supporting
organization loses its status as a
supporting organization.
Line 11h. An organization checking a
box on line 11 must complete the table on
line 11h.
• Columns (i) and (ii). Enter the name
and employer identification number (EIN)
for each supported organization. Enter
the total number of supported
organizations on the “Total” line in column
(i). If the organization had more than five
supported organizations during the tax
year, enter the additional organizations on
duplicate pages of Schedule A, Part I.
Use as many duplicate copies as needed,
and number each page.
• Column (iii). For each supported
organization named in column (i), show
which line number (from lines 1 through
9) best describes the supported
organization. For example, if the
organization supported a hospital, enter
‘‘3’’ in column (iii). If the organization
supported a federal, state, local
government, or governmental unit, or
foreign government, enter ‘‘6’’ in column
(iii).
• Column (iv). Check “Yes” if the
supported organization named in column
(i) is specifically named as a supported
organization in the organization’s
declaration of trust, articles of
incorporation, or other governing
document. An organization that supports
non-designated publicly supported
organizations and meets the
requirements of Regulations section
1.509(a)-4(d)(2)(i) (relating to designating
the publicly supported organizations by
class or purpose rather than by name)
should not complete column (iv) but
should provide a statement in Part IV
explaining how it meets these
requirements.
• Column (v). Only Type III
organizations are required to answer this
question. Check “Yes” if the organization
notified the supported organization
named in column (i) of its support.
• Column (vi). Only Type III
organizations are required to answer this
question. Check “Yes” if the supported
organization named in column (i) is
organized in the United States.
• Column (vii). Enter the total amount of
monetary support paid to, or for the
benefit of, the supported organization
named in column (i) during the tax year. If
no monetary support was provided during
the tax year, enter “-0-.” Do not report
non-monetary support in column (vii).
Describe in Part IV any services, facilities,
or goods that the organization provided to
or purchased for the benefit of the
supported organization during the tax
year.

Part II. Support Schedule
for Organizations
Described in Sections
170(b)(1)(A)(iv) and
170(b)(1)(A)(vi)
If the organization checked a box
on line 5, 7, or 8 of Part I, it should
CAUTION complete Part II and insert the
appropriate dollar amounts. Do not leave
Part II blank or report only zeros if the
organization had any support during the
period. If the organization checks the box
on line 13 of Part II, it should stop there
and not complete the rest of Part II.

!

If the organization checked a box
TIP on line 5, 7, or 8 of Part I and also
checks the box on line 18 of Part
II, the organization should complete Part
III to determine if it qualifies as a publicly
supported organization under section
509(a)(2). If it does qualify, the
organization should instead check the box
on line 9 of Part I.
Public Support Test. For an
organization to qualify as a publicly
supported organization under section
170(b)(1)(A)(vi), either:
• 331/3% or more of its total support must
come from governmental agencies,
contributions from the general public, and
contributions or grants from other public
charities, or
• 10% or more of its total support must
come from governmental agencies,
contributions from the general public, and
contributions or grants from other public
charities and the facts and circumstances
indicate it is a publicly supported
organization.
Note. An organization will not meet
either of these public support tests if
almost all of its support comes from gross
receipts from related activities and an
insignificant amount of its support comes
from governmental units and
contributions made directly or indirectly
by the general public.
Public support is measured using a
5-year computation period that includes
the current and four prior tax years
(including short years). If the
organization’s current tax year or any of
its four prior tax years were short years,
explain in Part IV.
If the organization was not a section
501(c)(3) organization for the entire
5-year period in Part II, report amounts
only for the years the organization was a
section 501(c)(3) organization.
Line 1. Do not include any “unusual
grants.” See Unusual grants on this page.
Include membership fees only to the
extent to which the fees are payments to
provide support for the organization rather
than to purchase admissions,
merchandise, services, or the use of
facilities. To the extent that the
membership fees are payments to
purchase admissions, merchandise,

services, or the use of facilities in a
related activity, report the membership
fees on line 12. To the extent that the
membership fees are payments to
purchase admissions, merchandise,
services, or the use of facilities in an
unrelated business activity, report the
membership fees on line 9. See
Regulations section 1.170A-9(f)(7)(iv).
Noncash contributions. Use any
reasonable method to determine the
value of noncash contributions reported
on line 1.
Do not report as gifts, grants, or
contributions on line 1 any donations of
services (such as the value of donated
advertising space or broadcast air time)
or donations of use of materials,
equipment, or facilities (donated services
and facilities from a governmental unit
are reported on line 3).
Loss on uncollectible pledge. If an
organization records a loss on an
uncollectible pledge that it reported on a
prior year’s Schedule A, it should deduct
that loss from the contribution amount for
the year in which it originally counted that
contribution as revenue. For example, if
the organization reported a pledged
contribution of $50,000 during tax year
2009 but learned during tax year 2011
that it would not receive $20,000 of that
pledged contribution, it should deduct
$20,000 from the amount reported in Part
II, line 1, column (c) for tax year 2009.
Support from a governmental unit.
Include on line 1 support received from a
governmental unit. This includes the
contributions and grants, but not gross
receipts from exercising or performing the
organization’s tax-exempt purpose or
function, which should be reported on line
12. An amount received from a
governmental unit is treated as gross
receipts from exercising or performing the
organization’s tax-exempt purpose or
function if the purpose of the payment is
primarily to serve the direct and
immediate needs of the payor
governmental unit, and is treated as a
grant if the purpose is primarily to provide
a direct benefit to the public. For example,
a payment to maintain library facilities that
are open to the public should be treated
as a grant. See Regulations
1.170A-9(f)(8) and Rev. Rul. 81-276,
1981-2 C.B. 128.
Unusual grants. An organization that
received any unusual grants during the
5-year period should keep for its records
a list showing, for each year, the name of
the contributor, the date and amount of
the grant, and a brief description of the
grant. If the organization used the cash
method for the applicable year, show only
the amounts the organization actually
received during that year. If the
organization used the accrual method for
the applicable year, show only the
amounts the organization accrued for that
year. An example of this list is given
below.

-4-

Do not file this list with the
organization’s Form 990 or
CAUTION 990-EZ because it may be made
available for public inspection.

Include in Part IV a list showing the
amount of each unusual grant actually
received each year (if the cash
accounting method is used), or accrued
each year (if the accrual accounting
method is used).
Do not include the names of the
grantors because Part IV will be
CAUTION made available for public
inspection.
Unusual grants generally are
substantial contributions and bequests
from disinterested persons and are:
1. Attracted because of the
organization’s publicly supported nature,
2. Unusual and unexpected because
of the amount, and
3. Large enough to endanger the
organization’s status as normally meeting
either the 331/3% public support test or the
10% facts and circumstances test.

!

For a list of other factors to be
considered in determining whether a
grant is an unusual grant, see
Regulations section 1.509(a)-3(c)(4).
An unusual grant is excluded even if
the organization receives or accrues the
funds over a period of years.
Do not report gross investment income
items as unusual grants. Instead, include
all investment income on line 8.
See Rev. Rul. 76-440, 1976-2 C.B. 58;
Regulations section 1.170A-9(f)(6)(ii); and
Regulations sections 1.509(a)-3(c)(3) and
(4) for details about unusual grants.
Conservation easements and qualified
conservation contributions. The
organization must report any qualified
conservation contributions and
contributions of conservation easements
consistently with how it reports revenue
from such contributions in its books,
records, and financial statements and in
Form 990, Part VIII, Statement of
Revenue.
Reporting contributions not reported
as revenue. If the organization reports
any contributions on line 1 of this part
that it does not report as revenue in Part
VIII or assets in Part X of Form 990, or as
revenue or assets in Form 990-EZ,
explain in Part IV the basis for
characterizing such transfers as
contributions but not as revenue or
assets. For example, if an organization is

a community foundation that receives and
holds a cash transfer for another
tax-exempt organization and reports
contributions of such property on line 1
without reporting it as revenue in Part VIII
or assets in Part X, explain the basis for
characterizing the property as
contributions but not as revenue or
assets.
Line 2. Enter tax revenue levied for the
organization’s benefit by a governmental
unit and either paid to the organization or
expended on its behalf. Report this
amount whether or not the organization
includes this amount as revenue on its
financial statements or elsewhere on
Form 990 or 990-EZ.
Line 3. Enter the value of services or
facilities furnished by a governmental
unit to the organization without charge.
Do not include the value of services or
facilities generally furnished to the public
without charge. For example, include the
fair rental value of office space furnished
by a governmental unit to the organization
without charge but only if the
governmental unit does not generally
furnish similar office space to the public
without charge. Report these amounts
whether or not the organization includes
these amounts as revenue on its financial
statements or elsewhere on Form 990 or
990-EZ.
Line 5. Enter in column (f) the portion of
total contributions by each individual,
trust, or corporation included on line 1 for
the years reported that exceeds 2% of the
amount reported on line 11, column (f).
However, the 2% limitation does not apply
to contributions from organizations
qualifying as publicly supported
organizations under section
170(b)(1)(A)(vi), governmental units
described in section 170(b)(1)(A)(v), and
other organizations, such as the following,
but only if they also qualify as publicly

supported organizations under section
170(b)(1)(A)(vi):
• Churches described in section
170(b)(1)(A)(i);
• Educational institutions described in
section 170(b)(1)(A)(ii);
• Hospitals described in section
170(b)(1)(A)(iii); and
• Organizations operated for the benefit
of a college or university owned or
operated by a governmental unit
described in section 170(b)(1)(A)(iv).
The organization should keep for its
records a list showing the name of and
amount contributed by each donor (other
than a governmental unit or publicly
supported organization) whose total gifts
during the years reported exceed 2% of
the amount reported on line 11, column
(f). An example of this list is given below.
Do not file this list with the
organization’s Form 990 or
CAUTION 990-EZ because it may be made
available for public inspection.

!

Line 8. Include the gross income from
interest, dividends, payments with respect
to securities loans (section 512(a)(5)),
rents, royalties, and income from similar
sources. Do not include on this line
payments that result from activities of the
organization that further its exempt
purpose. Instead, report these amounts
on line 12.
Line 9. Enter the organization’s net
income from carrying on unrelated
business activities, whether or not the
activities are regularly carried on as a
trade or business. See sections 512 and
513 and the applicable regulations.
Include membership fees to the extent
they are payments to purchase
admissions, merchandise, services, or the
use of facilities in an activity that is an
unrelated business.

Net income and net losses from all of
the organization’s unrelated business
activities should be aggregated. If a net
loss results, enter “-0-” on this line.
Line 10. Include all support as defined in
section 509(d) that is not included
elsewhere in Part II. Explain in Part IV the
nature and source of each amount
reported. Do not include gain or loss from
the sale of capital assets or amounts
reportable on line 12.
Line 12. Enter the total amount of gross
receipts the organization received from
related activities for all years reported in
Part II. Although an organization may
otherwise meet the section
170(b)(1)(A)(vi), 331/3% public support test
or the 10% facts and circumstances
public support test, it will not be treated as
meeting one of these tests if almost all of
its support consists of gross receipts from
related activities and an insignificant
amount of support comes from
governmental units and public
contributions. See Regulations section
1.170A-9(f)(7)(iii).
Include on line 12 gross receipts from
admissions, sales of merchandise,
performance of services, or furnishing of
facilities in any activity which is not an
unrelated trade or business (within the
meaning of section 513). See section
509(d)(2). Include membership fees to the
extent they are payments to purchase
admissions, merchandise, services, or the
use of facilities in a related activity. For
example, include on this line gross
receipts from:
• A trade or business in which
substantially all work is performed by
volunteers (such as book fairs and sales
of gift wrap paper). See section 513(a)(1).
• A trade or business carried on by the
organization primarily for the convenience
of its members, students, patients,

513(a)(2).
• A trade or business which is the selling
of merchandise, substantially all of which
the organization received as gifts or
contributions. See section 513(a)(3).
• “Qualified public entertainment
activities” or “qualified convention and
trade show activities” of certain
organizations. See section 513(d).
• Furnishing certain hospital services.
See section 513(e).
• A trade or business consisting of
conducting bingo games, but only if the
conduct of such games is lawful. See
section 513(f).
• Qualified pole rentals by a mutual or
cooperative telephone or electric
company. See section 513(g).
• The distribution of certain low cost
articles and exchange and rental of
members lists. See section 513(h).
Line 13. An organization that checks this
box should stop here and should not
complete the rest of Part II. It should not
make a public support computation on
line 14 or 15 or check any of the boxes on
lines 16 through 18.
Example. An organization receives
an exemption letter from the IRS that it is
exempt from tax under section 501(c)(3)
and qualifies as a public charity under
section 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) effective March
25, 2011, its date of incorporation. The
organization uses a calendar year
accounting period. When the organization
prepares Part II for 2011 through 2015, it
should check the box on line 13 and
should not complete the rest of Part II.
When the organization prepares Part II for
2016 and subsequent years, it should not
check the box on line 13 and should
complete the rest of Part II.
An organization in its first 5 years
TIP as a section 501(c)(3)
organization should make the
public support computations on a copy of
Schedule A that it keeps for itself. An
organization should carefully monitor its
public support on an ongoing basis to
ensure that it will meet a public support
test in the sixth year and succeeding
years.
Line 14. Round to the nearest hundredth
decimal point in reporting the percentage
of public support. For example, if the
organization calculates its public support
percentage as 58.3456%, this percentage
would be rounded to 58.35% when
reported on line 14.
Line 15. For 2011, enter the public
support percentage from the 2010
Schedule A (Form 990 or 990-EZ), Part II,
line 14. Round to the nearest hundredth
decimal point in reporting the percentage
of public support.
Line 16a. If the organization did not
check the box on line 13, and line 14 is
331/3% or more, check the box on this
line and do not complete the rest of
Part II. The organization qualifies as a
publicly supported organization for 2011
and 2012.

Line 16b. If the organization did not
check a box on line 13 or 16a, and line 15
is 331/3% or more, check the box on this
line and do not complete the rest of
Part II. The organization qualifies as a
publicly supported organization for 2011.
Line 17a. If the organization did not
check a box on line 13, 16a or 16b, and
line 14 is 10% or more, and if the
organization meets the ‘‘facts and
circumstances’’ test, check the box on
this line and do not complete the rest
of Part II. The organization qualifies as a
publicly supported organization for 2011
and 2012.
If this box is checked, explain in Part
IV how the organization meets the ‘‘facts
and circumstances’’ test in Regulations
section 1.170A-9(f)(3). Include the
following information.
• Explain whether the organization
maintains a continuous and bona fide
program for solicitation of funds from the
general public, community, membership
group involved, governmental units or
other public charities.
• List all other facts and circumstances,
including the sources of support, whether
the organization has a governing body
which represents the broad interests of
the public, and whether the organization
generally provides facilities or services
directly for the benefit of the general
public on a continuing basis.
• If the organization is a membership
organization, explain whether the
solicitation for dues-paying members is
designed to enroll a substantial number of
persons from the community, whether
dues for individual members have been
fixed at rates designed to make
membership available to a broad
cross-section of the interested public, and
whether the activities of the organization
will likely appeal to persons having some
broad common interest or purpose.
Line 17b. If the organization did not
check a box on line 13, 16a, 16b, or 17a,
and line 15 is 10% or more, and if the
organization meets the ‘‘facts and
circumstances’’ test, check the box on
this line and do not complete the rest
of Part II. The organization qualifies as a
publicly supported organization for 2011.
If this box is checked, explain in Part IV
how the organization meets the ‘‘facts
and circumstances’’ test in Regulations
section 1.170A-9(f)(3). Include the same
information identified in the instructions
for line 17a on this page.
Note. The alternative test for
organizations experiencing substantial
and material changes in its sources of
support, other than from unusual grants,
has been eliminated.
Line 18. If the organization did not check
a box on line 13, 16a, 16b, 17a, or 17b, it
does not qualify as a publicly supported
organization under section
170(b)(1)(A)(iv) or 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) for the
2011 tax year and should check the box
on this line. If the organization does not
qualify as a public charity under any of
the boxes in Part I, lines 1 through 11, it is

-6-

a private foundation as of the beginning of
the 2011 tax year and should not file
Form 990, Form 990-EZ, or Schedule A
(Form 990 or 990-EZ) for the 2011 tax
year. Instead, the organization should file
Form 990-PF, and check Initial return of a
former public charity on the top of page 1
of Form 990-PF.
If Form 990 or 990-EZ is for the
TIP organization’s sixth tax year as a
section 501(c)(3) organization,
and it checked the box on line 18, it
should compute the public support
percentage on its Form 990 or 990-EZ for
its first 5 tax years. If its public support
percentage for its first 5 tax years is
331/3% or more, or if it meets the 10%
“facts and circumstances” test for its first
five tax years, it will qualify as a public
charity for its sixth tax year. If the
organization qualifies in this manner,
explain in Part IV.
If the organization does not qualify
TIP as a publicly supported
organization under section
170(b)(1)(A)(vi), it can complete Part III to
determine if it qualifies as a publicly
supported organization under section
509(a)(2).

Part III. Support Schedule
for Organizations
Described in Section
509(a)(2)
If an organization checked the box
on line 9 of Part I, it should
CAUTION complete Part III and insert the
appropriate dollar amounts. Do not leave
Part III blank or report only zeros if the
organization had any support during the
period. If the organization checks the box
on line 14 of Part III, it should stop there
and not complete the rest of Part III.

!

If the organization checked the
TIP box on line 9 of Part I and also
checks the box on line 20 of Part
III, the organization should complete Part
II to determine if it qualifies as a publicly
supported organization under section
170(b)(1)(A)(vi). If it does qualify, the
organization should instead check the box
on line 5, 7, or 8 of Part I, whichever
applies.
Public Support Test. For an
organization to qualify as a publicly
supported organization under section
509(a)(2):
• More than 331/3% of its support must
come from contributions, membership
fees, and gross receipts from activities
related to its exempt functions or from
amounts which are not unrelated trades
or businesses under section 513, and
• No more than 331/3% of its support
must come from gross investment income
and net unrelated business income
(less section 511 tax) from businesses
acquired by the organization after June
30, 1975.

Public support is measured using a
5-year computation period that includes
the current and four prior tax years
(including short years). If the
organization’s current tax year or any of
its four prior tax years were short years,
explain in Part IV.
If the organization was not a section
501(c)(3) organization for the entire
5-year period in Part III, report amounts
only for the years the organization was a
section 501(c)(3) organization.
Line 1. Do not include any ‘‘unusual
grants.’’ See Unusual grants on page 7.
Include membership fees only to the
extent to which the fees are payments to
provide support for the organization rather
than to purchase admissions,
merchandise, services, or the use of
facilities. To the extent that the
membership fees are payments to
purchase admissions, merchandise,
services, or the use of facilities in a
related activity, include the membership
fees on line 2. See Regulations section
1.509(a)-3(h). To the extent that the
membership fees are payments to
purchase admissions, merchandise,
services, or the use of facilities in an
activity that is not an unrelated business
under section 513, report the membership
fees on line 3. To the extent that the
membership fees are payments to
purchase admissions, merchandise,
services, or the use of facilities in an
activity that is an unrelated business,
report the net amount either on line 10b
or line 11, as appropriate.
Noncash contributions. Use any
reasonable method to determine the
value of noncash contributions reported
on line 1.
Do not report as gifts, grants, or
contributions on line 1 any donations of
services (such as the value of donated
advertising space or broadcast air time)
or donations of use of materials,
equipment, or facilities (donated services
and facilities from a governmental unit
are reported on line 5).
Loss on uncollectible pledge. If an
organization records a loss on an
uncollectible pledge that it reported on a
prior year’s Schedule A, it should deduct
that loss from the contribution amount for
the year in which it originally counted that
contribution as revenue. For example, if
the organization reported a pledged
contribution of $50,000 during tax year
2009 but learned during tax year 2011
that it would not receive $20,000 of that
pledged contribution, it should deduct
$20,000 from the amount reported in Part
III, line 1, column (c) for tax year 2009.
Support from a governmental unit.
Include on line 1 support received from a
governmental unit. This includes
contributions and grants, but not gross
receipts from exercising or performing the
organization’s tax-exempt purpose or
function, which should be reported on line
2. Grants are sometimes difficult to
distinguish from such gross receipts — the

label on the agreement is not controlling.
An amount received from a governmental
unit is treated as gross receipts from
exercising or performing the
organization’s tax-exempt purpose or
function if the purpose of the payment is
primarily to serve the direct and
immediate needs of the payor
governmental unit, and is treated as a
grant if the purpose is primarily to provide
a direct benefit to the public. For example,
if a state government agency pays an
organization to operate an institute to
train agency employees in the principles
of management and administration, the
funds received should be included on line
2 as gross receipts. See Regulations
section 1.509(a)-3(g).
Unusual grants. An organization that
received any unusual grants during the
5-year period, should keep for its records
a list showing, for each year, the name of
the contributor, the date and amount of
the grant, and a brief description of the
grant. If the organization used the cash
method for the applicable year, show only
amounts the organization actually
received during that year. If the
organization used the accrual method for
the applicable year, show only amounts
the organization accrued for that year. An
example of this list is given below.
Do not file this list with the
organization’s Form 990 or
CAUTION 990-EZ because it may be made
available for public inspection.

An unusual grant is excluded even if
the organization receives or accrues the
funds over a period of years.
Do not report gross investment income
items as unusual grants. Instead, include
all investment income on line 10a.
See Rev. Rul. 76-440, 1976-2 C.B. 58;
Regulations section 1.170A-9(f)(6)(ii); and
Regulations sections 1.509(a)-3(c)(3) and
1.509(a)-3(c)(4) for details about unusual
grants.
Conservation easements and qualified
conservation contributions. The
organization must report any qualified
conservation contributions and
contributions of conservation easements
consistently with how it reports revenue
from such contributions in its books,
records, and financial statements and in
Form 990, Part VIII, Statement of
Revenue.
Reporting contributions not reported
as revenue. If the organization reports
any contributions on line 1 of this Part
that it does not report as revenue in Part
VIII or assets in Part X of Form 990, or as
revenue or assets in Form 990-EZ,
explain in Part IV the basis for
characterizing such transfers as
contributions but not as revenue or
assets. For example, if an organization is
a community foundation that receives and
holds a cash transfer for another
tax-exempt organization and reports
contributions of such property on line 1
without reporting it as revenue in Part VIII
or assets in Part X, explain the basis for
characterizing the property as
contributions but not as revenue or
assets.
Line 2. Include gross receipts from
admissions, merchandise sold, services
performed, or facilities furnished in any
activity that is related to the organization’s
tax-exempt purpose (such as charitable,
educational, etc.).

Date of Grant ©
January 15, 2011
Amount of Grant ©
$60,000

Include in Part IV a schedule showing the
amount of each unusual grant actually
received each year (if the cash
accounting method is used), or accrued
each year (if the accrual accounting
method is used).
Do not include the names of the
grantors because Part IV will be
CAUTION made available for public
inspection.
Unusual grants generally are
substantial contributions and bequests
from disinterested persons and are:
1. Attracted because of the
organization’s publicly supported nature,
2. Unusual and unexpected because
of the amount, and
3. Large enough to endanger the
organization’s status as normally meeting
the 331/3% public support test.

For a list of other factors to be
considered in determining whether a
grant is an unusual grant, see
Regulations section 1.509(a)-3(c)(4).

facilities in an activity that is an unrelated
business not included on line 10b.
Net income and net losses from all of
the organization’s unrelated business
activities should be aggregated. If a net
loss results, enter “-0-” on this line.
Line 12. Include all support as defined in
section 509(d) that is not included
elsewhere in Part III. Explain in Part IV
the nature and source of each amount
reported. Do not include gain or loss from
sale of capital assets.
Line 14. An organization that checks this
box should stop here and should not
complete the rest of Part III. It should not
make a public support computation on
line 15 or 16 or an investment income
computation on line 17 or 18, or check
any of the boxes on line 19 or 20.
Example. An organization receives
an exemption letter from the IRS that it is
exempt from tax under section 501(c)(3)
and qualifies as a public charity under
section 509(a)(2) effective March 25,
2011, its date of incorporation. The
organization uses a calendar year
accounting period. When the organization
prepares Part III for 2011 through 2015, it
should check the box on line 14 and
should not complete the rest of Part III.
When the organization prepares Part III
for 2016 and subsequent years, it should
not check the box on line 14 and should
complete the rest of Part III.
An organization in its first 5 years
TIP as a section 501(c)(3)
organization should make the
public support and investment income
computations on a copy of Schedule A
(Form 990 or 990-EZ) that it keeps for
itself. An organization should carefully
monitor its public support on an ongoing

basis to ensure that it will meet the public
support tests in the sixth year and
succeeding years.
Line 15. Round to the nearest hundredth
decimal point in reporting the percentage
of public support. For example, if the
organization calculates its public support
percentage as 58.3456%, this percentage
would be rounded to 58.35% when
reported on line 15.
Line 16. For 2011, enter the public
support percentage from the 2010
Schedule A (Form 990 or 990-EZ), Part
III, line 15. Round to the nearest
hundredth decimal point in reporting the
percentage of public support.
Line 17. Round to the nearest whole
percentage.
Line 18. For 2011, enter the investment
income percentage from the 2010
Schedule A (Form 990 or 990-EZ), Part
III, line 17. Round to the nearest whole
percentage.
Line 19a. If the organization did not
check the box on line 14, line 15 is more
than 331/3%, and line 17 is not more than
331/3%, check the box on this line and
do not complete the rest of this
schedule. The organization qualifies as a
publicly supported organization for 2011
and 2012.
Line 19b. If the organization did not
check the box on line 14 or 19a, line 16 is
more than 331/3%, and line 18 is not more

than 331/3%, check the box on this line
and do not complete the rest of this
schedule. The organization qualifies as a
publicly supported organization for 2011.
Note. The alternative test for
organizations experiencing substantial
and material changes in its sources of
support, other than from unusual grants,
has been eliminated.
Line 20. If the organization did not check
the box on line 14, 19a, or 19b, it does
not qualify as a publicly supported
organization under section 509(a)(2) for
the 2011 tax year and should check the
box on this line. If the organization does
not qualify as a public charity under any
of the boxes on Schedule A (Form 990 or
990-EZ), Part I, lines 1 through 11, it is a
private foundation as of the beginning of
the tax year and should not file Form 990,
Form 990-EZ, or Schedule A (Form 990
or 990-EZ) for the 2011 tax year. Instead,
the organization should file Form 990-PF,
and check Initial return of a former public
charity on the top of page 1 of Form
990-PF.
If Form 990 or 990-EZ is for the
TIP organization’s sixth tax year as a
section 501(c)(3) organization,
and it checked the box on line 20, it
should compute the public support
percentage and the investment income
percentage on its Form 990 for its first 5
tax years. If its public support percentage

for its first 5 tax years is more than 331/3%
and the investment income percentage
for its first 5 tax years is not more than
331/3%, it will qualify as a public charity for
its sixth tax year. If the organization
qualifies in this manner, explain in Part IV.
If the organization does not qualify
TIP as a publicly supported
organization under section
509(a)(2), it can complete Part II to
determine if the organization qualifies as
a publicly supported organization under
section 170(b)(1)(A)(vi).
