Collection items are considered works of art, historical treasures, general research collections, and similar assets held for public exhibition, education, or research in furtherance of public service rather than financial gain. Part III, Line 4: Description of organization's collections and how it furthers its purpose. The Frick Collection was established by Pittsburgh industrialist Henry Clay Frick, who, upon his death in 1919, bequeathed his New York residence (since designated a National Historic Landmark) and remarkable collection of European paintings, sculpture and decorative arts for the enjoyment of the public and for the advancement of the study of fine arts and kindred subjects. The Frick Art Reference Library of the Collection was established in 1920 by Frick's daughter, Helen Clay Frick. The library's book and photograph research collections relate chiefly to paintings, drawings, sculpture, prints, and illuminated manuscripts from the 4th to the mid-20th centuries by European and American artists, and its archival materials and special collections augment the research collections with documents pertaining to the history of collecting art and of Frick's collecting in particular. The Collection's mission is to preserve and display for the public Frick's art collection in a domestic setting and to augment the Collection's art holdings; to provide access, understanding and enjoyment of the art collection to the public through special exhibitions, publications, public education programs, and research; to offer the visiting public an engaging view of life in the Gilded Age; and to serve as a center for research and to stimulate scholarship in the history of art. Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund. The aggregate endowment funds of The Frick Collection are the foundation of the institution. The endowments ensure the Frick's continued vitality by providing a consistent flow of funds that support all programatic, facility and related administrative costs of the organization. Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Collection recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Management has determined that the Collection has no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement disclosure. The Collection is no longer subject to audits by the applicable taxing jurisdictions for periods prior to 2015.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process The Board of Trustees has delegated to the Audit Committee responsibility for oversight of the preparation and filing of the Form 990. The Audit Committee accordingly meets for the purpose of reviewing and commenting on a draft version of the Form 990 prior to filing. After the Form 990 is approved by the Audit Committee, a copy of the final return (without Schedule B, which is redacted to maintain donor anonymity) is made available to each member of the Board of Trustees before it is filed. The Form 990 additionally is reviewed by management prior to filing. Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c: Explanation of Monitoring and Enforcement of Conflicts The Collections conflict of interest policy covers each member of the Board of Trustees, officer, key employee, other key person, and member of any committee of the Board of Trustees of the Collection (collectively "covered persons"). Each covered person makes annual written disclosures regarding entities known to do business with the Collection and in which the covered person or a family member of the covered has a financial, ownership, personal, professional or organizational interest or affiliation. The completed disclosure statements are reviewed by the Collection's General Counsel and the chair of the Audit Committee. The policy additionally requires covered persons to disclose potential conflicts of interest as they arise, or become known to the covered person, to the Chair of the Board, if the transaction will be considered for approval by the Board of Trustees, or, if the matter will come before a Committee of the Board, the relevant committee chair. The Chair or relevant committee chair reports the potential conflict to the chair of the Audit Committee and the General Counsel for evaluation and determination of whether an actual conflict of interest exists. Members of the Audit Committee may be consulted in making the determination, and, in any case, all disclosures and resulting determinations are reported to the Audit Committee. If it is determined that an actual conflict of interest exists, the Board of Trustees or committee, as applicable, is notified. If a covered person discloses a potential conflict of interest at a meeting during which the Board or committee is expected to take action on the matter, an actual conflict of interest is presumed under the policy. A transaction involving a conflict of interest for a covered person must be approved by only those Trustees or committee members who do not have a conflict with respect to the transaction. The covered person may not vote on the transaction or be present or participate in deliberations on the transaction, except that the covered person may present information concerning the transaction if so requested by the Board or relevant committee. Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b: Compensation Review and Approval Process for Officers and Key Employees The Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees recommends the compensation of the Director and Chief Executive Officer (the "Director") to the full Board of Trustees for its review and approval. The Compensation Committee also is responsible for setting the compensation of the other officers and key employees (who are compensated in their capacity as employees and not as officers) and other key employees based on the recommendations of the Director. The positions for which this procedure is followed are the the Chief Financial Officer and Assistant Treasurer; the General Counsel and Assistant Secretary; Deputy Director and Chief Operating Officer; the Chief Curator; the Deputy Director for External Affairs; Chief Human Resources Officer; and the Chief Librarian. In determining the reasonableness of compensation paid to each of the foregoing individuals, the Compensation Committee, and the Board of Trustees in the case of the Director, reviews comparability data available for peer organizations, including Forms 990 and published compensation surveys. The compensation analysis is undertaken annually, and the most recent review for each individual holding the positions listed above was undertaken in the 2018 tax year. The Compensation Committee additionally engaged an independent compensation consultant in the 2018 tax year to conduct a compensation survey for the position of Director and Chief Executive Officer. Form 990, Part VI, Line 19: Other Organization Documents Publicly Available The Collection was incorporated by act of the New York State legislature, and its charter therefore is a public document. The charter also has been published by the Collection. A copy of the Collection's audited financial statements may be obtained by written request to the Collection. Portions of the audited financial statements, such as the statement of financial position and the statement of activities, are reproduced in the Collection's Annual Report, which is available on the Collection's website.
