Form And Line ReferenceForm 990, Schedule R, Part II, Line 1FormAndLineReferenceDesc
ExplanationIn 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 pro rata share of the proceeds of the liquidation, subject to certain senior claims. Liquidation of the Center requires the consent of all member organizations. 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 2013 and 2012, 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 occupancy at the Center. In addition to the facility services agreement, 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. In relation to its agreements with the Center, the Institute incurred operating expenses of $281,215 and $421,032 for 2013 and 2012, respectively. Amounts due to the Center as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 were $5,833 and $13,853, respectively.ExplanationTxt
