letter is still in effect.

Insurance Contributions Act (social security taxes) on remuneration of $100 or more paid to
each employee during a calendar year, Your organization is also liable for tax under tne
Federal Unemployment Tax Act for each employee to whom It pays $50 or more during a
calendar quarter it, during the current or preceding calendar year. the organization had one or
more employees at any time in each of 20 calendar weeks or it paid wages of $1,500 or more
In any calendar quarter_
If your organization's character, method of operation, or purposes change, please let us know
so we can consider the effect of the change on the organization's exempt status. Also, your
organization should inform us of all changes in its name or address.
Your organization is required to file Form 990, Return or Organization Exempt from Income

when a return is filed late, unless there is reasonable cause for the delay.

deduct contributions made to it. You should advise your organization's contributors to that
affect.
Your organization is not required to file federal income tax returns unless it is subject to the tax

Project Name:
FCP's "Top Three" Program & Luke AFB Fire Station Renovation Project
In 200 words or less, please provide a brief description of the project submitted to the
12% SRPMIC Grant program.
FCP's Top Three programs target the Health & Human Services. Culture & Tradition and Mission
Sustainabilitv areas within Luke AFB that have been identified as areas of need. These areas change as
the areas of need within the base change. Areas of need are identified by the senior leadership of Luke
AFB, and FCP assumes the appropriate role to assist with the challenge at hand. Whether is it funding
Autism Camps, Chaplain's Monthly Deployed Family Dinners or a base wellness affair, FCP directs its
resources where needed. The mission of Luke AFB is to train the world's greatest fighter pilots and
maintainers while deploying mission ready warfighters, and FCP focuses its Top Three attention towards
quality of life aspects that assist in keeping base morale high while these high integrity airmen, soldiers
and sailors serve our great nation.
Luke's Fire Station is a community asset as well as a Luke asset. Luke's Fire Station answered 332 calls
outside the fence line in 2014. Only mission critical projects on base get funding from the Department of
Defense, and renovating the Fire Station doesn't fit the "mission critical" status. Luke's Firefighters can
answer emergency calls with broken tile and ripped carpet.

individuals and other organizations as well as 12o/o gaming grant dollars. If SRPMIC funds were not

Luke's 55 Firefighters answered332 calls outside the fence-line in 2015. Luke's
Fire House is in such need of a renovation because the military only has funds
available for "mission critical" items. Ripped carpet and broken tiles don't
prevent Luke's Fire men from responding to emergency calls. Total Project Costs
are reaching $250,000.
B. FCP's Support - 2016 Luke AFB Air Show - Mar 19th & 20th - $25,000

- Commander's Tent - Tent, Food, Beverages, Supplies, Seating, Fencing and
misc costs - $30,000
- Air Show Act Sponsorship - FCP provided the Tuskegee Air Act - $7,500
- Air Show "Welcome Headquarters" for Distinguished Visitors - 55,000

- Event supports base active duty Airmen, Marines, Navy, Reserves and Statewide

associated with the popular event. The event saved an attendees eyesight in years
past as it identified a detached retina.
D. Luke Airman's Fund - $51000
- This is Luke's own discretionary fund to assist with airman's individual needs.
For example, An Airman's wife could have cancer, and they need to fly out a

"individual circumstances".
