Delegation of Control Over Management FunctionsFORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 3 The Center for Jewish History (the "Center"), a related party (see Schedule R), 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 2014 and 2013, the Institute and other members agreed to contribute $1,000,000 each year, respectively, in the aggregate, to cover the Center's operating costs. The amount contributed by each member is based upon the member's allocated space at the Center. 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. During 2010, the Institute and Center entered into an agreement whereby the Institute will operate the day-to-day operations of the Center's microfilm laboratory.
Other Changes in Net AssetsFORM 990, PART XI, LINE 8 The audit committee and management, acting on behalf of, and with the authority of, the Board of Trustees have resolved to restate the financial statements relating to amounts previously held in trust for the Judaicia Conservancy Foundation, as well as amounts previously temporarily restricted for donor stipulated purposes to unrestricted net assets. Management and the Trustees have performed appropriate due diligence regarding these transactions and have determined that the appropriate lawful resolution is to restate net assets to reflect the appropriate balances of temporarily restricted contributions, the fulfillment of the requirements related to those transactions, and in connection with this transaction, and in accordance with the Institute's policy on collection items, the books previously held in trust have been removed from the statements of Financial Position to reflect the Institute's policy on capitalized collection items. The effect of these changes resulted in a change to net assets of $484,347.

For the years 2014 and 2013, the Institute and other members agreed to contribute $1,000,000 each year, respectively, in the aggregate, to cover the Center's operating costs. The amount contributed by each member is based upon the member's allocated space at the Center.
