Collections and how they further the organization's exempt purpose Schedule D, Part III, Line 4 The collections of the Still National Osteopathic Museum include more than 30,000 objects, photographs, documents, and books dating from the early 1800s to the present (bulk 1870-1940).

Since the founding of the Museum, other family members, D.O.s and Museum supporters have donated many additional artifacts that reflect the ongoing history of the osteopathic profession. The research collections of the International Center for Osteopathic History also include many former holdings of the ATSU-KCOM Library's special collections, for which the museum assumed responsibility in 1997. As a public trust the material is available free of charge for viewing and research by the local, national and international population. Its programs and tours used by the local schools and public are provided free as an educational service. Endowment Funds Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 The University's endowments are intended to provide sustainable and reliable funding for student scholarships and support of the University's operating budget. Quasi-endowments have been established by both the University's Board of Trustees and administration. Earnings from the quasi-endowments are used for support of the operating budget and research endeavors. The corpus of the Board quasi-endowments may be expended as approved by the Board of Trustees. LIABILITY FOR UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS UNDER FIN 48 SCHEDULE D, PART X, LINE 2 As the University qualifies as a nonprofit corporation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, it is exempt from federal and state income taxes.

Still University is to educate students to become competent healthcare professionals who continuously develop and demonstrate compassion, integrity, and ability, while advancing osteopathic principles and philosophy. The institution is committed to scholarly inquiry that anticipates and addresses society's healthcare needs. The University encourages its constituencies to become leaders in improving community health and wellness with a comprehensive appreciation of the interaction of body, mind, and spirit. Program Service Accomplishments Form 990, Part III, Line 4a About A.T. Still University Established in 1892 by Andrew Taylor Still, M.D., D.O., the founder of osteopathy, A.T. Still University (ATSU) began as the nation's first college of osteopathic medicine and today has evolved into a leading university of health sciences comprised of five schools located on two campuses. The University's schools include the Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine (KCOM) and School of Health Management (SHM) located in Kirksville, Missouri and the Arizona School of Health Sciences (ASHS), Arizona School of Dentistry & Oral Health (ASDOH), and School of Osteopathic Medicine in Arizona (SOMA) located in Mesa, Arizona. Student learning is at the heart of A.T. Still University. Our students and faculty are part of a distinguished heritage of humanistic healthcare based on an integrated approach that includes the body, mind, and spirit of the patient. This "whole person" approach to healthcare is the foundation of the educational experience and is integrated into the curriculum for each school's programs, from audiology to dentistry, family practice to public health, and on-line to residential programs. ATSU received honors for exemplary service to America's communities by the Corporation for National and Community Service with a place on the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll. At all levels of ATSU, beginning with the mission statement itself, the University practices two-way involvement in its communities, thus providing not only service but also true engagement. This is evidenced by listening and responding to community and profession needs through the development of programs, involvement in off-site clinics, emergency response teams, active membership and collaboration with various community organizations by both faculty and students, and by communicating with University constituents to advance the mission of the University and respond to the needs of our greater community.
