The Museum also has a historical and archival collection that documents the history of the institution. The composition of the Museum's collections by artifact type is as follows: Natural Sciences 20,000 items; Cultural/Physical Science 5,000 items; Artwork 2,000 items; Institutional History 3,000 items; Archive 1,100 linear feet. The Museum's Collections Management Policy stipulates that the Museum will only acquire objects useful in fulfilling the educational purpose stated in its mission. The Museum accepts only those objects that can be immediately put on display in an exhibit, used in educational programs, or used in future programming. Items may be de-accessioned from the collections if they are determined to be no longer useful or relevant in assisting the Museum in fulfilling its mission. Consistent with the American Alliance of Museums' Code of Ethics, Museum policy specifies that proceeds from the de-accessioning of an item may only be used for the conservation or acquisition of other collections items. In accordance with current practice generally followed by museums, collections are not recorded as assets in the accompanying financial statements. Purchased additions to the collections are recorded as expenses at the time acquired. Although artifacts from the collections may from time to time be incorporated into exhibits, the Museum's exhibits themselves are not considered part of its collections and may be capitalized under the Museum's property, plant, and equipment policies. However, artifacts and artworks with a value of $250,000 or greater acquired specifically for incorporation into an exhibit and capitalized as part of that exhibit may be formally accessioned into the Museum's collections in order to be afforded the protections of the Museum's Collections Management Policy. Schedule D, Part III, Line 4 The Museum's collections are used primarily for educational activities, encompassing interpretations, discovery spaces, exhibits, lectures, classes, demonstrations, reference service, or other programs. The Museum also has a historical and archival collection that documents the important and rich history of the institution. The Collections Department provides professional stewardship for artifacts that are temporarily in the custody of the Museum through loans and/or temporary exhibitions. Collections consist of: Natural Sciences - 20,000 items; Cultural/Physical Science - 5,000 items; Artwork - 2,000 items; Institutional History - 3,000 items; Archives - 1,100 linear feet. Live animals include: Butterfly Garden - approximately 300 butterflies representing 50 species, Other spaces - 120 either individual animals or colonies of live animals throughout the Museum presenting 50 species. Fifty of these are on exhibit and the rest live in the Live Animal Care Center. Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 The Museum's endowment includes both donor-restricted endowment funds and funds designated by the Board of Trustees to function as endowments ("quasi-endowments"). The endowment consists of 117 individual donor restricted endowment funds and 29 quasi-endowment funds used for a variety of purposes. The relative uses of the endowment (as measured by fair value) include: Unrestricted/general operations - 22%, Exhibit construction and maintenance - 25%, Program support - 30%, Mixed use (primarily exhibits and programs jointly) - 15%, Other (including Library, Access, and Internships) - 8% Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 The Museum's footnote disclosure with respect to FIN 48 is as follows: The Museum is exempt from income taxation on activities related to its charitable purposes under the provisions of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is qualified to receive tax-deductible gifts and bequests under the U.S. tax code. The Museum is subject to tax on income from any business it conducts which is unrelated to its charitable purposes. The Museum's unrelated business income tax is limited and no tax provision has been made in the accompanying financial statements. The Museum is also responsible for calculating, collecting, and remitting sales and liquor taxes in various jurisdictions. The Museum accounts for the effect of any uncertain tax positions on the basis of whether it is more likely than not that positions taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return will be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authority. If a tax position or positions are deemed to result in uncertainties of those positions, the unrecognized tax benefit is estimated based on a "cumulative probability assessment" that aggregates the estimated liability for all uncertain tax positions. The Museum considers its status as a tax-exempt entity and the determination of income as related or unrelated to its exempt purpose to be its only significant income tax positions, and has determined that such positions do not result in an uncertainty requiring recognition. The Museum is not currently under income tax examination by any jurisdiction. The Museum's Federal and state tax returns are generally open for examination for three years following the date filed.

Staff also introduce other institutions to programs and materials the Museum has developed. Finally, staff may travel internationally to perform research to inform the content of exhibits in development. Costs associated with such travel are accounted for under the same accountable plan as the Museum's domestic travel.

In cases such as direct mail where costs other than the fundraising services are incurred (such as postage, printing, etc.), the company's invoicing is in sufficient detail to allow the Museum to track and code those expenses separately from the amounts reported as "professional fundraising fees" on From 990, Part IX, Line 11e. For the companies listed in Schedule G, those additional expenses totaled $5,691. All agreements with outside fundraisers provide for invoicing of the Museum based on solicitations made, rather than withholding of amounts from funds raised. No outside fundraiser has custody of any funds raised. 1 Maryland Science Center 601 Light Street Baltimore MD 21230 520668166 501(c)(3) 29125 0 n/a n/a Fed'l subaward: Creating Communities of Learners Madison Children's Museum 100 N Hamilton St Madison WI 53703 391383497 501(c)(3) 12318 0 n/a n/a Fed'l subaward: Creating Communities of Learners ListoAmerica Inc 1800 E McFadden Ave Ste 200A Santa Ana CA 92705 264370987 501(c)(3) 20000 0 n/a n/a Fed'l subaward: DOJ Impacts Towson University 8000 York Rd Towson MD 21252 520939453 State of MD 9343 0 n/a n/a Fed'l subaward: Exploring the Efficacy of Elementary Engineering AAAS 1200 New York Ave NW Washington DC 20005 530196568 501(c)(3) 64651 0 n/a n/a Fed'l subaward: Multi-site Public Engagement with Science Rockman Et Al Inc 595 Market St Ste 2570 San Francisco CA 941052802 943400371 54158 0 n/a n/a Fed'l subaward: Multi-site Public Engagement with Science Northeastern University 360 Huntington Ave Boston MA 02115 041679980 501(c)(3) 30793 0 n/a n/a Fed'l subaward: Science Center Public Forums Association of Science-Technology Centers 1025 Vermont Ave NW 500 Washington DC 20005 521926756 501(c)(3) 32259 0 n/a n/a Fed'l subaward: Visitor Experience Studies New York Hall Of Science 47-01 111th St Corona NY 11368 112104059 501(c)(3) 7678 0 n/a n/a Fed'l subaward: Visitor Experience Studies Discovery Center Museum 711 N Main St Rockford IL 61103 363292135 501(c)(3) 7192 0 n/a n/a Fed'l subaward: Visitor Experience Studies Science Museum of Minnesota 120 W Kellogg Blvd St Paul MN 55102 410706172 501(c)(3) 760333 0 n/a n/a Fed'l subawards: Nanoscale Informal Sci Ed, Multi-site Public Engagement, Vis.

A) Subawards under grants - These are monies passed through to institutions who have applied for government and private grants jointly with the Museum. The Museum monitors the subawardees' use of funds in accordance with the regulations governing such grants and the adequacy of this monitoring is audited annually under the provisions of OMB Circular A-133. B) Prizes and awards - The Museum administers two annual awards for the recognition of scientific publication and communication. As these awards are honoraria, monitoring of their use is not applicable. C) Stipends - These are payments to participants in professional development workshops offered by the Museum, or in pilot testing of Museum products and programs. As these payments are simple flat stipends based on number of workshop days, or on pilot test milestones, monitoring of their use is not applicable. NON-CASH GRANTS: The Museum also provides substantial non-cash "scholarships" for reduced-fee or no-fee participation in Museum programs for which a fee is usually charged. For these transactions, no funds are disbursed to the grantee; they are simply charged less, or not at all, for the program attended. Eligibility is determined in a number of ways, depending on the nature of the grantee. Schools are evaluated based on location in under-served neighborhoods or by percentage of free/reduced lunch program students. Community groups are evaluated on the basis of charitable status. Individual grantees are evaluated on the basis of income or residence in under-served areas. As the operation of these non-cash awards is entirely internal to the Museum, monitoring the use of the funds is also entirely internal and accomplished through the Museum's own accounting system.

The first meeting is focused on establishing a recommendation to the Finance Committee that budgets for the upcoming fiscal year's museum-wide merit increase pool. The second meeting is focused on the review of the performance of Key Employees and other senior leadership staff for the prior year and to approve the recommendations of the President/Director for any salary increases. In addition, the Committee reviews the performance and compensation of the President/Director and recommends any adjustment to compensation if warranted. In order to do this in a fully knowledgeable manner, the Committee annually reviews information obtained by the Vice President of Human Resources though a variety of resources. These resources include an outside survey group used to benchmark each of the senior management positions including the President/Director against local non-profit organizations that are of a similar size. In addition, the Museum uses public resources such as Guidestar to access salaries of key people in Museums located in metropolitan areas. Finally, the Museum participates in and receives information from local and regional salary surveys of other Museums in New England. This process gives a clear picture of local, regional, and national salary levels for its senior management. The Compensation Committee reviews this information in addition to the history of compensation increases, overall performance of the individual and of the Museum prior to approving or making recommendations for compensation increases. Schedule J, Part I, Line 7 The bonuses shown in column B(ii) represent discretionary payments made due to the Museum's operating results for the then-recently-completed fiscal year significantly exceeding expectations.

This year, these volunteers contributed 34,953 hours (17 FTEs), with an equivalent value of $600,482. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 4 On 6/19/17, the Museum's By-laws were amended as follows: * The Chair of the Innovators was changed from a Non-Elected Voting Trustee to a Non-Voting Trustee. * The acceptable means of delivering notice of meetings were expanded to include electronic means other than e-mail. * The composition of the Museum's Executive Committee was changed to include the Chair of the Governance Committee and to exclude the Chair of the Program Advisory Committee (which has been dissolved). * The Museum's Institutional Review Board ceased to be a separate standing committee and is now a group reporting to the Audit and Risk Management Committee. * The members of each standing committee are now appointed by the Chair of the Board and approved by the Voting Trustees. Previously, members were appointed directly by the Voting Trustees. * The article specifying the composition of standing committees has been clarified to note that while Overseers may serve on such committees, they do so as non-voting members. * Committee members who are Voting Trustees serve 3-year renewable terms, staggered to afford the opportunity for ongoing membership turnover. Previously no terms were specified. * Committee Chairs serve 2-year renewable terms. Previously no terms were specified. * Policies relating to the appointment, duties, and powers of Ad Hoc Committees and Task Forces have been clarified, including the introduction of a provision that such bodies shall be established for fixed terms. * A provision was introduced whereby the Governance Committee is charged with the review and approval of the charters of all committees except the Executive Committee. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The Museum's Form 990 is prepared by the staff of the Accounting Department and reviewed by the CFO. It is also reviewed and analyzed by the Museum's outside Auditors. It is then presented to the Audit Committee of the Museum's Board for further review and approval. After Audit Committee approval, the final version of Form 990 is provided to all members of the Museum's Board before the form is filed. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c Upon election/hiring, and annually thereafter, all Museum Trustees, Overseers (an advisory, but non-governing body), and Key Employees are required to fill out a Conflict of Interest form which solicits detailed information about associations with companies, organizations, and each other which may represent a conflict of interest with respect to the Museum. The forms are reviewed at least annually by both the Assistant Controller and the CFO to identify any reported conflicts which may require disclosure and/or further follow-up. Using publicly available sources, additional research is undertaken by Museum staff to identify business and organizational associations which were not reported on the Conflict of Interest forms. With respect to business relationships between the Museum and companies associated with Trustees or Key Employees, it is the Museum's policy to subject such companies to the same procurement policies, procedures, and requirements as it applies to other, nonrelated, firms. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 The Compensation Committee of the Museum's Board meets twice yearly, once in spring and once in the late summer or early fall.
