Plain-English summary

A family private foundation transferred the trustees' residence and other personal property into the foundation, paid recurring expenses that appeared personal, and made loans or investments through related promoters. The trustees said they formed the foundation both to protect family assets from probate and to support charitable projects, but the IRS found only limited charitable distributions and no clear exempt program. The IRS concluded that the foundation served substantial private purposes, allowed its earnings to benefit private individuals, and engaged in self-dealing with disqualified persons. It also treated the personal expenditures as taxable expenditures under § 4945 and said additional taxes could apply if the expenditures were not corrected. The IRS revoked the foundation's § 501(c)(3) status effective from the beginning of the examined period.

Dear

We propose to revoke our recognition of your exempt status as an organization described in
section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code). We enclose our report of
examination explaining why we are proposing this action.

If you accept our proposal, please sign and return the enclosed Form 6018, Consent to
Proposed Action - Section 7428, unless you have already provided us a signed Form 6018. We
will issue a final revocation letter determining you are not an organization described in section
501(c)(3). After the issuance of the final revocation letter we will publish an announcement that
you have been deleted from the cumulative list of organizations contributions to which are
deductible under section 170 of the Code.

If you do not respond to this proposal, we will similarly issue a final revocation letter. Failing to
respond to this proposal may adversely impact your legal standing to seek a declaratory
judgment because you may be deemed to have failed to exhaust administrative remedies.

If you do not agree with our proposed revocation and wish to protest our proposed revocation to
the Appeals Office of the Internal Revenue Service, then you must submit to us a written
request for Appeals Office consideration within 30 days from the date of this letter to protest our
decision. This written request is called a protest. For your protest to be valid it needs to contain
certain specific information which generally includes a statement of the facts, the applicable law,
and arguments in support of your position. For the specific information needed for a valid
protest, please refer to page 6 of the enclosed Publication 3498, The Examination Process, and
page 1 of the enclosed Publication 892, How to Appeal an IRS Decision on Tax-Exempt Status.
If you do submit a valid protest, then an Appeals officer will review your case. The Appeals
Office is independent of the Director, EO Examinations. The Appeals Office resolves most
disputes informally and promptly. The enclosed Publication 3498 and Publication 892 explain
how to appeal an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) decision. Publication 3498 also includes
information on your rights as a taxpayer and the IRS collection process. Please note that Fast

Track Mediation Services referred to in Publication 3498, generally do not apply after issuance
of this letter. You may also request that we refer this matter for Technical Advice as explained in
Publication 892 and an annual revenue procedure. Please contact the individual identified on
the first page of this letter if you are considering requesting Technical Advice. If we issue a
determination letter to you based on a Technical Advice Memorandum issued by the EO
Rulings and Agreements function, then no further administrative appeal will be available to you
within the IRS on the matter.

If you receive a final revocation letter, you will be required to file Federal income tax returns for
the tax period(s) shown above as well as for subsequent years.

You have the right to contact the office of the Taxpayer Advocate. Taxpayer Advocate
assistance is not a substitute for established IRS procedures, such as the formal appeals
process. The Taxpayer Advocate cannot reverse a legally correct tax determination, or extend
the time fixed by law that you have to file a petition in a United States court. The Taxpayer
Advocate can, however, see that a tax matter that may not have been resolved through normal
channels gets prompt and proper handling. You may call toll-free, 1-877-777-4778, and ask for
Taxpayer Advocate Assistance. If you prefer, you may contact your local Taxpayer Advocate at:

If you have any questions, please call the contact person at the telephone number shown in the

in the Foundation’s application for tax exemption it was stated that the Foundation will
make grants exclusively to other qualified 501(c)(3) organizations classified as public
charities. The application stated that the Foundation requires an application for grant
making purposes and that the Foundation requires a grant proposal, obligates the
grantee to use the funds only for the purposes for which the grant is made, provides for
periodic written reports concerning the use of the funds, requires a final written report
and an accounting of how the funds were used, and acknowledges

authority to withhold and recover grant funds in case the funds are
misused. No grant applications were reviewed during the audit as none had been
received by the foundation.

IRC §4946(a)(1)(B) defines a disqualified person as a foundation manager.

Section 4946(b) defines the term “foundation manager” as an officer, director, or trustee
of a foundation (or an individual having powers or responsibilities similar to those of
officers, directors, or trustees of the foundation), and with respect to any act (or failure
to act), the employees of the foundation having authority or responsibility with respect to
such act (or failure to act).

Section 53.4945-6(b)(1) of the regulations provides that expenditures made to acquire
investments and related investment expenses for the purpose of obtaining income or
funds to be used in furtherance of purposes described in IRC 170(c)(2)(B) will not be
treated as taxable expenditures under IRC 4945(d)(5)

In Thorne v. Commissioner, 99 T.C. 67 (1992), a taxpayer was the trustee of a private
charitable trust and placed the entire trust in an unlicensed company in the Bahamas.
The taxpayer made numerous grants to organizations that were not tax-exempt, that he
did not exercise expenditure responsibility under Section 4945(h) over grants to friends
and relatives for personal purposes. The court held that the taxpayer was liable for
excise tax under IRC 4944 and IRC 4945.

GOVERNMENT'S POSITION

1) Whether \is operating as an organization exempt
under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code?

The Foundation is not operated exclusively for charitable purposes as is required per
Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Foundation’s application for tax
exemption states that its mission is to create, give and practice integrity for the purpose
of serving mankind. It further states that the Foundation plans to be exclusively a grant-
making foundation as defined in IRC 4942 and will make grants exclusively to other
qualified 501(c)(3) organizations classified as public charities. Other than contributions
to ‘and other few charitable entities; the Foundation has not made
exempt function distributions. Section 170(c)(2)(B) defines the term charitable
contribution as a contribution or gift to or for the use of a foundation that is organized
and operated exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific, literary, or education
purposes. The Foundation has not been able to explain what their charitable purpose
is beyond vague and general terms.

Section 1.501(c)(3)-1(a)(1) of the regulations provides that in order to be exempt as an
organization described in section 501(c)(3) of the Code, the organization must be one
that is both organized and operated exclusively for one or more of the purposes

specified in that section. The Foundation does not operate exclusively for charitable
purposes. The Foundation has not done what it stated it would do in its application for
exemption. Other than contributions to and other few charitable
entities; the Foundation has not made exempt function. The Foundation has not been
able to explain what their charitable purpose is beyond vague and general terms.

The Foundation has failed to exercise expenditure responsibility as required by Section
4945(h) of the Internal Revenue Code.

2) Whether assets of the Foundation have inured to the benefit of a private shareholder
or individual?

Section 1.501(c)(3)-1(d)(I)(ii) of the regulations provides that to meet the operational
test, an organization must be engaged in activities furthering “public” purposes rather
than private interests. It must not be operated for the benefit of designated individuals
or the persons who created it. Regulation Section 1.501(c)(3)-1(c)(2) “Distribution of
earnings” expands on the definition of an activity that is not in furtherance of an exempt
purpose. It states: “An organization is not operated exclusively for one or more exempt
purposes if its net earnings inure in whole or in part to the benefit of private
shareholders or individuals. Regulation Section 1.501(a)-1(c) defines ‘private
shareholder or individual’ when it states: “The words ‘private shareholder or individual
in Section 501 refer to persons having a personal and private interest in the activities of
the organization.” The analysis of the Foundation’s checking account with shows
an amount of $ rand $ for tax year ended December 31,20 and
tax year ended December 31, 20_ |, respectively, were used to pay for the

personal expenditures. As shown in the facts section. See Attachment 1 and
Attachment 2.

Regulation Section 1.501(c)-1(d)(ii) provides emphasis to the operational test. It states
that an organization is not organized or operated exclusively for one or more exempt
purposes “...unless it serves a public rather than a private interest. Thus ... it is
necessary for an organization to establish that it is not organized or operated for the
benefit of private interests such as designated individuals, the creator or his family,
shareholders of the organization, or persons controlled, directly or indirectly, by such
private interests.”

3) Whether there has been self-dealing between a disqualified person and a private
foundation?

Internal Revenue Code Section 4941(d) defines self-dealing for purposes of Section
4941,-as any direct or indirect sale or exchange, lending of money or extension of
credit, furnishing of goods, services, facilities between a foundation and a disqualified
person. and are the trustees/board members of Foundation;

6) Whether expenditures incurred by , \ are “taxable
expenditures” per section 4945(d)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code?

Section 4945(d)(5) of the internal Revenue Code defines the term “taxable expenditure”
as any amount paid or incurred by a private foundation for any purpose other than that
specified in section 170(c)(2)(B). Since the Foundation has not been able to
demonstrate a clear exempt purpose, the majority of the expenses reported on the
Foundation’s 990-PF’s for 20 iand2( | are held to be taxable expenditures and thus
subject to tax under 4945(a){1) and 4945(b)(1). The Foundation has not primarily used
