Percentage of Public SupportFMDF's public support percentage for 2024 was 18.62% substantially in excess of the 10% minimum and it satisfies other factors in that test as noted below. B. Attraction of Public SupportFriends of Mexican Development Foundation ("FMDF") has maintained a continuous and bona fide program for the solicitation of funds from individuals, businesses, donor advised funds and charitable organizations that are interested in its programs. During the 5-year period ended December 31, 2024, FMDF received contributions from 25 unique contributors.FMDF and its grantees work to identify American individuals, both in the US and in Mexico and Central America, who have an interest in furthering the development of charitable agencies in Mexico, protecting health and the environment, in addition to other charitable purposes. FMDF also maintains a website, www.fomdf.org, where the public is invited to make donations online. C. Other Public Support Factors 1) History of Public Support: As recently as 2019, FMDF's public support percentage surpassed the 33.3% threshold at 37.73%. 2) Sources of Support: Virtually all of FMDF' support comes from the public. FMDF receives support from a representative group of individuals, businesses and charitable organizations. As noted above, during the five-year period ended December 31, 2024, FMDF received contributions from 25 unique contributors. To the best of our knowledge, none of the donors are related to one another and none of the FMDF donors (except for the FMDF Chairman who has made donations from his own Foundation in Mexico) is an officer or director of FMDF. In short, FMDF supporters are a broad and diverse group, as opposed to a single individual or family. 3) Representative Governing Body: FMDF's Board of Directors consists of civic leaders who are broadly representative of the community interested in its programs and have interest in and expertise in Mexico's charitable sector and non-profit management.
