1)
British Schools and Universities Foundation, Inc. has been approved by
the United States Treasury Department as an exempt charitable
organization under Section 501(c)(3) and is classified as a domestic
charity as defined in Sections 509(a)(1) and 170(b)(1)(A)vi) of the
Code.
An important facet of tax deductibility is
based upon the following ruling of the US Internal Revenue Service
"Contributions to a domestic charity ... which are solicited for a
specific project for a foreign charity organization, are deductible under
the section 170 of the Code ... where the domestic charity has reviewed
and approved the project as being in furtherance of its own exempt
purposes and has control and discretion as to the use of the
contributions"
2) The purpose of the Foundation is to
make donations, gifts and contributions and loans without interest in
money, property or otherwise, out of the income and/or assets of the
Corporation to, or for the use of schools whether public or private,
colleges whether sectarian or not, universities whether State or not,
and educational, scientific or literary institutions of every kind or
nature;
3) The Foundation applies three criteria to
the selection of educational, scientific or literary institutions to
qualify for grants-in-aid:
a)
The applicant institution should be active in seeking financial support
for specific projects which are clearly defined and documented.
Acceptability of these projects should be demonstrated by the efforts of
its graduates, alumni and friends who compromise the institution's
constituency in the United States.
b)
A non-American institution should have a demonstrable record of
cooperation with the United States either by acceptance of American
students or by collaboration with comparable institutions in the United
States.
c)
The Foundation's grants-in-aid are limited to institutions in the United
States and countries of the British Commonwealth of Nations.
