PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE: Although taxpayers cumulative public support for the 2024-25 tax year was below the required 33-1/3%, it rose from about 20% in the previous year to almost 27% in the current tax year. But it remained below 33.33% due to 3 years of large donations from the National Ayurvedic Medical Association, whose support ceased in the tax year ending June 30, 2024. REPRESENTATIVE NUMBER OF DONORS: The organization had more than 200 distinct donors for the tax year ending June 30, 2025. The single donor that depressed the organizations public support percentage through outsize contributions for three tax years ceased their support in the year prior to this tax year. EXPERT GOVERNING BODY: The organization normally has at least 5 unrelated board members, all of whom are experts in the field of Ayurvedic Medicine. PUBLIC SERVICES: Over 250,000 people per year in the US benefit from Ayurvedic medicine. The organization serves the public by insuring uniformly high standards for the training of Ayurvedic practitioners. ONGOING SOLICITATION: The organization has a broad, ongoing program to solicit funds from the general public, including a monthly email campaign and online fundraisers featuring guest speakers appealing to a wide audience interested in Ayurvedic medicine. Its advisory council meets quarterly to discuss outreach to the public to solicit contributions. And it engages with professional organizations throughout the year to educate the public about its work and request their support.
