Section 202.093. Charitable contributions to pooled income funds exempt

(a) Under the authority contained in section 202(i) of the act (70 P. S. § 1-202(i)), the Commission finds that it is not in the public interest nor necessary for the protection of investors to require registration under section 201 of the act (70 P. S. § 1-201) of any securities issued or created in connection with contributions or transfers of property to, or certificates of interest or participation in, pooled income funds if the following conditions are met:

(1) A pooled income fund (Fund) as defined in section 642(c)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 (26 U.S.C.A. § 642(c)(5)), is established for the purpose of permitting donors to make irrevocable remainder interest gifts to the Fund.

(2) The Fund is afforded a tax deduction under section 642(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954.

(3) The Fund is in compliance with the Charitable Organization Reform Act (10 P. S. § § 161.1—161.19) and amendments and successor statutes thereto.

(4) Each prospective donor is provided written disclosure which fully and fairly describes the consequences of a contribution or transfer of property to the Fund and the nature, operation and financial condition of the Fund.

(5) None of those persons responsible for solicitation of contributions to the Fund will receive commissions or other special compensation based upon the amount of property transferred except that this prohibition does not apply if the person receiving the commissions or special compensation is registered with the Commission as a broker-dealer under section 301 of the act (70 P. S. § 1-301) or is registered with the Commission under section 301 as an agent of the broker-dealer.

(6) Any person who, for compensation, advises the charitable organization as to the advisability of investing in, purchasing or selling securities, including interests in the Fund, or otherwise performs as an investment adviser is either an investment adviser registered with the Commission under section 301 of the act or is a Federally-covered adviser that is in compliance with section 303(a) of the act (70 P. S. § 1-303(a)).

(b) If permitted by § 606.031 (relating to advertising literature), advertising literature may be used by the Fund in connection with the solicitation of contributions but is subject to the antifraud provisions of sections 401—409 of the act (70 P. S. § § 1-401—1-409) and Subpart D (relating to fraudulent and prohibited practices).
