The organization meets the facts-and-circumstances test in Regulations section 1.170A-9(f)(3) because it maintains a continuous and bona fide program for solicitation of funds from the general public, community, governmental units, or other public charities, and other facts and circumstances as described below that satisfy this test. In 2021 and 2022, while the organization was recovering from the impacts of COVID-19, (which reduced its numbers of donors, volunteers, and adopters), it was able to greatly expand its rescue effort to include cats instead of just dogs. It also doubled its volunteer base from 6 to 12, to include volunteers to assist with socializing the new cats. The organization created a new partnership with local 501(c)(3) Jaggers Journey Cat Rescue to foster some of its cats, and brings cats to PetSmart for adoption fairs. Additionally, it has strengthened community partnerships with the Cottage Grove Humane Society (to take in overflow cats) and A New Leash On Life, which assists the organization with providing transportation and food for rescued animals. Luv-a-Bull continues to collaborate with several high-volume shelters in California to save lives of and rehome many dogs each year. The organization has wide support in Northern California and throughout Oregon, and is engaged in regular and widespread systematic efforts to raise funds from qualified sources, especially seeking small individual donations through its new social media (Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok) fundraising and educational campaigns.The organization maintains and is expanding a well-defined ongoing program to accomplish charitable work of animal rescue and education in the community. Luv-a-Bull has a Donate Now PayPal button prominently displayed on its website, and has a Patreon account, seeking additional individual donations from persons on that platform. Luv-a-Bull has greatly enhanced its public image and exposure through photo shoots with renowned visual artist and shelter dog advocate Sophie Gamand and other online avenues. The organization has registered with Petfinder, regularly posts its animals on Instagram, Facebook, Petsmart and Craigslist, and sends a regular newsletter to its members with information and education about rescued animals, thus expanding its reach each year. Luv-a-Bull engaged in a robust grant-writing program in 2021 and 2022, applied for several relevant grants relevant to the organization's mission (such as the Bob Barker Foundation) and received an $11,500 grant from ISPCA, a qualifying organization. Because of its efforts, the number and diversity of the organization's donors have been increasing as the organization has grown and matured, particularly since it has had to adapt after COVID-19, adding cats to its operations, and adding more volunteers.The American Bully Breed Rescue Foundation (ABBRF), an affiliated organization, sold its real estate and donated the proceeds (totaling $1,524,341) to Luv-a-Bull in the fall of 2022. This was a large, one-time donation. This would otherwise be eligible to be counted as an "unusual grant" were it not for the affiliation of the organization with Luv-a-Bull. This will not occur in future years.Additionally, Luv-a-Bull's main former benefactor, Anthony Lowber (who in the past has donated significant amounts to the organization) significantly reduced his usual donations in 2022 (citing the ABBRF donation removed the current needs of Luv-a-Bull).In 2024, Luv-A-Bull did have an increase in the percentage of public support and this is anticipated to continue. The number of donations from large donors was consistent and they added several $5000 donations from new contributors.Therefore, Luv-A-Bull's 2025 financial forecast is that the organization is poised to meet the one-third public support test in 2025 and coming years, as it will be without these individual large grants.
