Christopher Mays, Executive Director. 207.697.2020,

This is where we consider your corporate structure so we can direct you to questionnairesections appropriate to what your organization. This time you will likely have only one “yes” item.

Section 3: Governance

In this section you tell us the legal framework for governance of your organization or service. We realize that many of the facilities we deal with have a complex structure, for example where one entity may own the land, another may provide management services, and a third actually operates the service. In those situations, we invite a separate response from each. If you are reporting on a direct service provider (“A number” = 1 or 2) then it is the operating entity (corporation, partnership or other) that actually is the operating entity what you are telling us about.

In this section we want you to pick just the one response that best describes your situation or comes closest to doing so. If you choose ”Yes, this comes close to an accurate characterization”to one of ourquestions, please use the space given or attach a separate page to describe your situation more precisely.

Remember:choose only onepositive response in this section.

3.11 Proprietorship

3.11 ___ Yes, exactly; ___ Yes, this comes close to an accurate characterization; X No, this is the wrong choice. Is your organization a proprietorship? This generally refers to a single person operating the with no corporation, partnership, or trusteeship involved. If “yes exactly,” or “yes, this comes close”, you have a “C number” of 11.

3.12Trusts and Trusteeships

3.121 ___ Yes, exactly; ___ Yes, this comes close to an accurate characterization; X No, this is the wrong choice. Is your organization a trust? In addition, has it also been granted 501 c 3 not-for-profit status. This generally refers to an entity created as a result of a bequest or “deed of trust” other legal action to place funds in trust for a specific purpose.An example might be the Milton Hershey School in Hershey, PA or Girard College in Philadelphia. If “yes exactly,” or “yes, this comes close”, you have a “C number” of 121.

3.122 ___ Yes, exactly; ___ Yes, this comes close to an accurate characterization;X No, this is the wrong choice. Is your organization a trust that lacks 501 c 3 status? If “yes exactly,” or “yes, this comes close”, you have a “C number” of 122.

3.13LLC:

3.13 ___ Yes, exactly; ___ Yes, this comes close to an accurate characterization;X No, this is the wrong choice. Is your organization a Limited Liability Company (LLC)? Roughly speaking, this is similar to a partnership, exceptthat members (like partners) are not personally liable for losses or liabilities in excess of their personal investment in the company. If “yes exactly,” or “yes, this comes close”, you have a “C number” of 13.

3.14Partnerships:

3.14 ___ Yes, exactly; ___ Yes, this comes close to an accurate characterizationX No, this is the wrong choice. Is your organization a partnership(including limited partnerships)? If “yes exactly,” or “yes, this comes close”, you have a “C number” of 14.

3.15Business Corporations:

3.15 X Yes, exactly; ___ Yes, this comes close to an accurate characterization ___ No, this is the wrong choice. Is your organization a business corporation? If “yes exactly,” or “yes, this comes close”, you have a “C number” of 15.

3.16 Not-for-profit Corporations

3.16 ___ Yes, exactly; ___ Yes, this comes close to an accurate characterization X No, this is the wrong choice. Is your organization a not for profit corporation? Note a “not-for-profit corporation” is not a trust or trusteeship. That should be reported at 3.121. A yes is appropriate for any not-for-profit corporation even if it does not have 501 c 3 status. If “yes exactly,” or “yes, this comes close”, you have a “C number” of 161.

3.162 ___ Yes, exactly; ___ Yes, this comes close to an accurate characterization X No, this is the wrong choice. Is your organization a not-for-profit corporation that does NOT have 501 c 3 status? This would include a not-for- profit charitable organization chartered outside the United States, that probably would be eligible for 501 c 3 status if in the US. If “yes exactly,” or “yes, this comes close”, you have a “C number” of 161.

3.99 ___ Yes, exactly; ___ Yes, this comes close to an accurate characterization X No, this is the wrong choice. Have you been unable to find a choice that fits your situation?. If “yes exactly,” or “yes, this comes close”, you have a “C number” of 99.
