The Center also serves as the central repository for the Institute's archival documents, books, photographs, paintings, and artifacts. Although the Center FOR JEWISH HISTORY derives its revenue from sources typical of not-for-profit enterprises, revenues generated by the Center are not sufficient to cover its operating expenses. THEREFORE, THE INSTITUTE AND the OTHER MEMBERS of the center CONTRIBUTE IN EXCESS OF $1,000,000 ANNUALLY to cover the Center's operating costs NOT COVERED BY THE CENTER'S FUNDRAISING. The amount contributed by each member is based upon the member's allocated space at the Center. THE INSTITUTE CONTRIBUTED $398,840 AND $196,000 IN 2016 AND 2015, RESPECTIVELY. In addition to the facility services agreement, during 2014 the Institute and the Center entered into an agreement whereby the Center would provide accounting and other administrative functions to the Institute. THIS AGREEMENT WAS TERMINATED AT THE END OF 2016 AS THE INSTITUTE JOINED WITH THE AMERICAN JEWEISH HISTORICAL SOCIETY IN SHARING AN IN-HOUSE ACCOUNTANT TO PROVIDE THESE SERVICES. THE CENTER IS STILL PAID A SMALL FEE TO WRITE AND DEPOSIT CHECKS.

Form And Line ReferenceFORM 990, SCHEDULE R, PART II, LINE 1:FormAndLineReferenceDesc
ExplanationAdditional RELATED PARTY information: In October 1995, the Institute, along with three other not-for-profit organizations: the American Jewish Historical Society, the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research, Inc., and the Yeshiva University Museum signed an agreement forming the Center for Jewish History, Inc. (the "Center"), a separate, 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation. Thereafter, the American Sephardi Federation entered into a supplemental agreement with the initial members which provided for its membership into the Center. Upon liquidation of the Center, member organizations would be entitled to receive a share of the proceeds of the liquidation, subject to certain senior claims. Liquidation of the Center requires the consent of all member organizations. The 1995 agreement and Center by-laws were amended by the center and its members subsequent to year-end. The Center provides for the operation of the Institute's operating facility, including (i) maintenance of all offices and specialized areas; (ii) control of the mechanical systems for the building; (iii) maintenance of elevators; (iv) support for all technology; (v) security; and (vi) many other related services. The Center also serves as the central repository for the Institute's archival documents, books, photographs, paintings, and artifacts. Although the Center derives its revenue from sources typical of not-for-profit enterprises, revenues generated by the Center are not sufficient to cover its operating expenses. For the years 2016 and 2015, the Institute and the other members of the center agreed to contribute an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 each year, to cover the Center's operating costs. The amount contributed by each member was based upon the member's allocated space at the Center. In addition to the facility services agreement, in 2010, the Institute and the Center entered into an agreement whereby the Institute would operate the day-to-day operations of the Center's microfilm laboratory. Then, in 2014, the Institute and the Center entered into an agreement whereby the Center would provide accounting and other administrative functions to the Institute. However, for 2017 and thereafter, the Institute amended this relationship with the Center, which will no longer handle the bulk of the accounting services for the Institute; instead, the Institute will handle its own accounting function. In addition, due to the financial strain currently being experienced by the Center, a revised partnership agreement is currently being drafted, though the terms of that agreement are still subject to review and revision by the Center and its partners. In relation to its agreements with the Center, the Institute incurred operating expenses of $215,600 and $228,011 for 2016 and 2015, respectively. At December 31, 2015, the Institute owed the Center $18,000, which was included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the statements of financial position. There were no outstanding amounts due to the Center as of December 31, 2016. In addition, during 2016 the Center charged each of the partners its share of a special assessment for operating deficits incurred by the Center during 2016. The Institute's share of the assessment was $183,240.ExplanationTxt
