        <ExplanationTxt>The Articles of Incorporation of Green Mountain Higher Education Consortium, Inc. (GMHEC) do not identify the supported organization by name rather than class. The Articles of Incorporation of GMHEC identify the "supported organizations" by class. Article six of the Articles of Incorporation expressly provides that the corporation is organized and shall be operated exclusively for the benefit of, to perform the function of and to carry out the exclusively charitable, educational, and other exempt purposes of institutions of higher learning or educational organizations in the State of Vermont described in section 509(a)(1) or 509(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The identification of the supported organizations of GMHEC by class is analogous.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>The organization added Norwich University (EIN 03-0179424) and Lasell University (EIN 04-2103585) as supported organizations during the tax year, in order to provide them with services analogous to what the organization has been provided to other existing supported organizations. The Articles of Incorporation do not identify the supported organization by name, so no amendment of the Articles of Incorporation is necessary to add, substitute, or remove supported organizations.</ExplanationTxt>
