THE BELFAST OLD INSTONIANS’ ASSOCIATION BENEVOLENT FUND MEETS THE PUBLIC BENEFIT REQUIREMENT BY THE PREVENTION OR RELIEF OF POVERTY THROUGH THE PROVISION OF DONATIONS, ANNUITY, LOAN OR OTHER ASSISTANCE. THE PROVISION OF DONATIONS, ANNUITIES, LOANS AND OTHER ASSISTANCE HAS ENABLED STUDENTS TO REMAIN IN THE SCHOOL AND TAKE PART IN ACTIVITIES WHICH
THEY WOULD NOT HAVE HAD THE RESOURCES TO TAKE PART IN. THEY HAVE ALSO BEEN USED TO HELP ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES THAT INSTONIANS, THEIR FAMILIES AND OTHER DEPENDANT RELATIVES HAVE FACED. THESE BENEFITS ARE DEMONSTRATED THROUGH FEEDBACK FROM BENEFICIARIES AND THEIR FAMILIES AND REGULAR EVALUATIONS OF OUR SERVICES. THIS PURPOSE DOES NOT LEAD TO HARM. THE BENEFICIARIES OF THIS PURPOSE ARE THOSE OUTLINED IN OUR PURPOSES ABOVE. THERE IS NO PRIVATE BENEFIT FLOWING FROM THIS PURPOSE. THE ‘POVERTY EXCEPTION’ APPLIES IN THIS CASE AS THE RELIEF OF POVERTY IS REGARDED AS BEING FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT EVEN WHEN THERE IS A RESTRICTED GROUP OF BENEFICIARIES SUCH AS THE BENEFICIARIES TO THE FUND WHO ARE PUPILS OF THE ROYAL BELFAST ACADEMICAL INSTITUTION OR PERSONS KNOWN AS INSTONIANS; BEING THOSE PERSONS ELIGIBLE TO BECOME A MEMBER OF THE BELFAST OLD INSTONIANS' ASSOCIATION, THEIR WIVES, CHILDREN, THE WIDOWS AND CHILDREN OF DECEASED MEMBERS AND OTHER DEPENDANT RELATIVES OF DECEASED MEMBERS.
