IdentifierIdentifier	Return ReferenceReturnReference	ExplanationExplanation
SchD_P03_S00_L01	Schedule D, Part III, Line 1	Collections footnote: "In accordance with current practice generally followed by museums, collections are not recorded in the accompanying financial statements."
SchD_P03_S00_L04	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 - 300 linear feet. Live animals include: Butterfly Garden - approximately 300 butterflies representing 50 species, 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 Center.
SchD_P05_S00_L04	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 104 individual donor restricted endowment funds and 26 quasi-endowment funds for a variety of purposes including unrestricted general operating support. The relative principal uses of the endowment (as measured by fair value) include: Unrestricted/general - 29%, Exhibit construction and maintenance - 33%, Program support - 13%, Mixed use (primarily exhibits and programs jointly) - 15%, Other (including Library, Access, and Internships) - 9%
SchD_P10_S00_L00	Schedule D, Part X	The Museum's footnote disclosure with respect to FIN 48 is as follows: The Museum is exempt from income taxation 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 purpose. ASC 740, "Income Taxes", requires that the Museum determine whether each tax position taken is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authority, including resolution of any appeals or litigation. For any tax position meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the Museum is to recognize in its financial statements the largest tax benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon final settlement. The Museum adopted the pertinent provisions of ASC 740 on July 1, 2009 and has determined that there was no effect on the financial statements resulting from the adoption of this standard. The Museum is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.

SchF_P01_S00_L02	Schedule F, Part I, Line 2	The Museum of Science is the flagship site for the Intel Computer Clubhouse Network, which includes sites both within and outside the US. The Museum's primary role is advisory and to coordinate communication and cooperation between sites, but each site is an independent entity. The Museum will occasionally provide pass-through funding from Intel to help in establishment and upgrade Clubhouse sites, and also provides travel support for representatives from sites to attend the network Annual Meeting and the bi-ennial Teen Summit, an event that includes opportunities for Clubhouse youth to express themselves using graphic design, video animation, digital art, music, radio, documentary film-making, and 3-D modeling. The Museum's other major grant-making role in the Network is to pass through Intel funding for Clubhouse to College scholarships. Scholarships are awarded through an application process which includes review by staff of the Clubhouse Network, a representative from MIT, a representative from Intel, a Museum staff person not directly associated with the Clubhouse program and has also included mentors and staff from around the Network. Scholarships are paid to the Clubhouse site, not to the individual student. For all types of funding, recipient sites are required to provide narrative and financial reporting to the Museum to ensure proper use of funds. Sites that have demonstrated an inability to perform adequate administration of grant funds are not eligible for future funding, although they may continue to participate in the network in other ways. All sites are required to be legally recognized as charities in their home jurisdictions as a condition of network membership.
SchF_P01_S00_L03	Schedule F, Part I, Line 3	Grant-making expenditures outside the United States are directly accounted for on the Museum's financial statements as program expenditures not distinguished in any way from similar grants made to recipients within the United States.

Explanation	CASH GRANTS: The Museum's cash awards fall into four categories. A) Subawards under federal and state grants - These are monies passed through to institutions who have applied for government grants jointly with the Museum. The Museum monitors the subawardees' use of funds in accordance with the regulations governing these 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) Teacher stipends - These are payments to teachers participating in professional development workshops offered by the Museum. As these payments are simple flat payments based on number of workshop days attended, monitoring of their use is not applicable. D) Computer Clubhouse Network support - These are 2 classes of payments made to or on behalf of member sites in the Intel Computer Clubhouse Network, of which the Museum is the flagship site. The Museum's primary role is advisory and to coordinate communication and cooperation between sites, but each site is an independent entity. The Museum occasionally provides pass- through funding from Intel to help establish and upgrade Clubhouse sites, and also provides travel support for representatives from sites to attend the network Annual Meeting and the bi-ennial Teen Summit. The Museum also passes through Intel funding for Clubhouse to College scholarships. Scholarships are awarded through an application process which includes review by staff of the Clubhouse Network, a representative from MIT, a representative from Intel, a Museum staff person not directly associated with the Clubhouse program and has also included mentors and staff from around the Network. For travel stipends and other support of Clubhouse sites, the Museum requires both narrative and financial reporting to ensure funds are used appropriately. For scholarships paid on behalf of individual students within Clubhouse sites, checks are issued directly to the college being attended to ensure use of the funds for the purpose intended. 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.

Explanation	The Museum provides to its President and Director two forms of compensation not available to other employees. Due to the significant amount of travel undertaken by the President and Director on behalf of the Museum, travel costs for his wife are sometimes provided in cases where the travel is lengthy or the nature/purpose of a trip is such that accompaniment by a spouse is expected or customary. Amounts provided under this arrangement are reported on Form W-2 as appropriate. The Museum also provides college tuition, room, and board for the President and Director's children, grossing up the payments to offset the related tax obligations. These payments are included in Column (iii) Other reportable compensation.	Explanation

IdentifierIdentifier	Return ReferenceReturnReference	ExplanationExplanation
F990_P06_S0B_L11	Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11	The Museum's Form 990 is prepared by the staff of the Accounting Department. It is then reviewed by the CFO and presented to the Audit Committee of the Museum's Board for further review. After the Audit Committee review, the final version of Form 990 is provided to all members of the Museum's Board before the form is filed.
F990_P06_S0B_L12c	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 detailed 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 CFO and staff of the Museum's Accounting department to identify any reported conflicts which may require disclosure and/or further follow-up. With respect to business relationships with 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 other, nonrelated, firms.
F990_P06_S0B_L15	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. 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 and 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.
F990_P06_S0C_L19	Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19	The Museum's financial statements, Form 990, and other key documents are available in either hard copy or electronically upon request. Form 990 is also available through publicly accessible websites such as Guidestar.org.
SchG_P01_S00_L02b	Schedule G, Part I, Line 2b	The Museum's use of external fundraisers may, in any given year, consist of a) general fundraising counsel, whose work is generally too integrated into the Museum's overall Advancement function to have specific "gross receipts" amounts specifically assigned; b) direct-mail companies, whose work ranges from simple large-scale mailing of materials developed and produced by the Museum itself to a more direct involvement in the design and creation of the solicitation materials; and c) telemarketers. 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 $73,397. 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.
SchL_P04_S00_L00	Schedule L, Part IV	With respect to business relationships with 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 other, nonrelated, firms.
