In particular, it aims to further the advancement of research and to nurture exchanges in mathematics, physics, and theoretical sciences at the Institut des Hautes Etudes Scientifiques (IHES), located in Bures-sur-Yvette, France.FIHES is organized and operated to attract new and additional public support on a continuous basis. While certain large corporate and foundation donations may continue in the near term, this support is crucial to the support of the program service activities that accomplish the overall exempt purpose of the organization. FIHES will continue to solicit qualifying public support to assist in carrying out the program activities.As illustrated in in the program activities in Part III of the Form 990, the program services directly benefit the general public on a continuing basis. Finally, the governing body represents the broad interest of the public, with no one individual or group of individuals having undue control or influence over the organization's funding or affairs. Each board member brings important skill sets, specialized knowledge, qualifications and expertise that help the organization plan and achieve its strategic objectives. FIHES qualifies as a publicly supported organization under the facts and circumstances test set forth in Treas. Reg. 1.170A-9(f)(3). The public support exceeded the 10 percent threshold for public charities. Furthermore, the ongoing fundraising efforts, sources of support, governing body and charitable programs it conducts all demonstrate sufficient public support to meet the facts and circumstances test. Based upon all of the above, the "facts and circumstances" substantiate that FIHES continues to operate as a public charity.
