AMY WINEHOUSE FOUNDATION (EIN 45-3788137) WAS ORGANIZED AND INCORPORATED IN 2011 AS A 501(C)(3) PUBLIC CHARITY FOR THE PURPOSE OF MAKING DONATIONS, CONTRIBUTIONS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS TO ORGANIZATIONS ENGAGED IN RELIGIOUS, CHARITABLE, SCIENTIFIC, LITERARY, CULTURAL AND EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES WHICH ARE EXEMPT ACTIVITIES DESCRIBED IN 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (THE "CODE") AND IN PARTICULAR ORGANIZATIONS THAT ASSIST CHILDREN AND AT-RISK YOUTH AND OTHER ADOLESCENTS WHO ARE DISADVANTAGED AND/OR IN NEED OF GUIDANCE, SUPPORT, HEALTHCARE AND MEDICAL EQUIPMENT. THE ORGANIZATION IS CURRENTLY IN GOOD STANDING ON THE IRS PUBLICATION 79 DATALIST WITH A DEDUCTIBILITY CODE OF "PC" VIA THE IRS SELECT CHECK SITE. THIS INFORMATION DEMONSTRATES THE ORGANIZATION'S CAPACITY TO SATISFY THE ELEMENTS OF THE "10% FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST" AS DESCRIBED IN REGULATION SECTION 1.170A-9T(F)(3) AND CONTINUE TO OPERATE AS A PUBLIC CHARITY IN THE FUTURE: 1) THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF GOVERNMENTAL AND PUBLIC SUPPORT NORMALLY RECEIVED IS AT LEAST 10% OF THE TOTAL SUPPORT NORMALLY RECEIVED. THIS 2024 FILING REPRESENTS THE FIRST TIME THE ORGANIZATION HAS BEEN REQUIRED TO REPORT ON THE "10% FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST" SINCE THE ORGANIZATION'S 2017 TAX FILING. NORMALLY, SINCE THE ORGANIZATION'S INCEPTION, THE ENTITY RECEIVES AT LEAST 10% FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC, AS EVIDENCED BY THIS TEST ONLY BEING REQUIRED ONCE BEFORE IN 2017. THE ORGANIZATION'S LARGEST CONTRIBUTION EACH YEAR FROM 2020 TO 2024 HAS BEEN THE RESULT OF MUSIC ROYALTIES THAT AN ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY THEN GIFTS TO THE ORGANIZATION IN THE FORM OF A CASH DONATION. THIS AMOUNT FLUCTUATES FROM YEAR TO YEAR, AND THE ORGANIZATION HAS NO INDICATION AS TO WHAT THE AMOUNT WILL BE EACH YEAR. 2) AMY WINEHOUSE FOUNDATION HAS A CONTINUOUS AND BONA-FIDE PROGRAM FOR SOLICITATION OF FUNDS FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC, GOVERNMENTAL UNITS, OR PUBLIC CHARITIES. THE ORGANIZATION CONTINUES TO FOCUS ON IDENTIFYING NEW DONORS IN GOOD FAITH AS SUPPORT FROM ITS LEAD DONOR FLUCTUATES EACH YEAR AND IS INDETERMINABLE. THE ORGANIZATION PLANS TO EXPAND THE BOARD IN 2025 AND BROADEN SUPPORT. ALTHOUGH THE ORGANIZATION RECEIVED SUBSTANTIAL CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THIS LEAD DONOR IN THE PAST FEW YEARS, THE ORGANIZATION EXPECTS TO HAVE THIS LINE BE WELL ABOVE 33 1/3% IN THE YEARS TO COME. 3) ALL OTHER PERTINENT FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING THE PERCENTAGE OF ITS SUPPORT FROM GOVERNMENTAL AND PUBLIC SOURCES, THE NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION'S GOVERNING BOARD, THE EXTENT TO WHICH ITS FACILITIES AND PROGRAMS ARE PUBLICLY AVAILABLE, AND WHETHER ITS ACTIVITIES ARE LIKELY TO APPEAL TO PERSONS HAVING SOME BROAD COMMON INTEREST OR PURPOSE. THE ORGANIZATION'S HISTORICAL RECORD OF OPERATING ALMOST ENTIRELY WITH VOLUNTEER BOARD MEMBERS AND A NEW COMMITMENT TO EXPANDING THE BOARD IN ORDER TO RAISE FUNDS FROM NEW SOURCES TO BE DONATED TO OTHER CHARITIES WHICH ADVANCE THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITABLE PURPOSES DEMONSTRATE ITS COMMITMENT TO CONTINUING ITS PROGRAMS, RAISING AWARENESS FOR ITS KEY ISSUES AND ITS OPERATIONS AS A PUBLIC CHARITY. THE ORGANIZATION STILL BELIEVES THAT ITS ACTIVITIES AND MISSION ARE LIKELY TO APPEAL TO PERSONS WITH COMMON INTEREST AND PURPOSE.
