Although GPRs public support percentage for the five-year period ending December 31, 2024, was 10.34%, the organization satisfies the minimum 10% threshold required to make a case under the facts and circumstances test. GPR requests continued classification as a publicly supported organization based on the following: First: Extraordinary One-Time Gifts from Deceased Donors.In 2022, GPR received two unusually large contributions from the estates of deceased individuals. These donors, having passed away, have no continuing ability to influence GPR. These estate gifts qualify as contributions from substantial contributors under IRS guidelines and are therefore excluded from the numerator in the public support calculation, which disproportionately lowers the support percentage. Second: Common Governance Structure with Publicly Supported Entity.GPR is governed by the same board of directors and managed by the same staff as Alachua County Humane Society (ACHS), a separate 501(c)(3) organization that maintains strong public support. This shared governance reflects GPRs alignment with ACHSs mission, activities, and community support model. Third: Organizational Merger with Preservation of Legacy Gift Eligibility.On January 1, 2019, GPR, Helping Hands Pet Rescue (HHPR), and ACHS entered into a strategic merger under which all three organizations are operated under a unified governance and management structure. GPR and HHPR retained their separate legal and tax-exempt statuses to preserve eligibility for testamentary gifts under existing wills and estate plans, which could not be modified to redirect donations to ACHS. Fourth. Donations Would Not Jeopardize Public Support of Affiliated Entity.Had the large estate gifts been directed to ACHS which shares mission, leadership, and operations with GPR they would not have caused ACHS to fall below the public support threshold. The presence of these extraordinary estate gifts in GPRs records does not reflect a lack of broad community support but rather a technical allocation based on legacy donor intent. Conclusion: GPR continues to rely on a diverse base of individual donors and receives strong community backing. It operates programs in collaboration with ACHS to serve the local population through pet rescue and adoption services, demonstrating a consistent commitment to the public interest.In light of the above, GPR respectfully requests continued recognition as a publicly supported organization under the facts and circumstances provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations.
