Its endowment includes donor restricted endowment funds. As required by generally accepted accounting principles, net assets associated with endowment funds are classified and reported based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed or legal restrictions. The Board of Trustees has interpreted state law as allowing the utilization of appreciation on permanently restricted assets unless explicit donor stipulations specify how net appreciation must be used. As a result of this interpretation, the Crafts Center classifies as permanently restricted net assets (a) the original value of gifts donated to the permanent endowment, (b) the original value of subsequent gifts to the permanent endowment, and (c) accumulations to the permanent endowment made in accordance with the direction of the applicable donor gift instrument at the time the accumulation is added to the fund. The remaining portion of the donor-restricted endowment fund that is not classified in permanently restricted net assets is classified as temporarily restricted net assets until those amounts are appropriated for expenditure by the Crafts Center in a manner consistent with the standard of prudence prescribed by state law. The Crafts Center has adopted spending procedures for its endowment assets that attempt to provide a predictable stream of funding for its programs while seeking to maintain the purchasing power of the endowment assets. Under this procedure, as approved by the Board, the Crafts Center shall seek to invest the endowment funds in such a manner that the investments will provide a spendable return consistent with a long-term goal of preserving the funds in real terms. Actual returns in any given year may vary from this amount. To satisfy its long-term rate-of-return objectives, the Crafts Center relies on a total return strategy in which investment returns are achieved through both capital appreciation (realized and unrealized) and current yield (interest and dividends). The Crafts Center has invested in short term and equity securities that target a diversified asset allocation that places a greater emphasis on equity-based investments to achieve its long-term return objectives within prudent risk constraints. The Crafts Center has a procedure of appropriating for expenditure each year only the actual earnings of its investments. In establishing this procedure, the Center considered the long-term expected return on its endowment. This is consistent with the Crafts Center's objective to maintain the purchasing power of its endowment.

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 2SOME OF THE BOARD MEMBERS ARE WORCESTER STATE COLLEGE STAFF AND SOME ARE BOARD MEMBERS OF WORCESTER STATE FOUNDATION. THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, DIRECTOR OF FINANCE, AND PROGRAM DIRECTOR ARE ALL PAID BY WORCESTER STATE COLLEGE.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 3The Board of Trustees determined on January 5, 2009 that it was necessary to announce a strategic pause in operations due to several years of operating deficits, increasing debt burden, declining enrollment and increased expenses. The trustees felt the most responsible path to follow was one that paused operations to allow for the opportunity to create a plan to preserve the future of the Crafts Center. After several months of negotiations, an agreement was reached with Worcester State College ('WSC') to form an alliance, which commenced on July 1, 2009. The objective of this alliance is to preserve the educational mission of the Crafts Center and enhance WSC's visual and performing arts program. The Affiliation Agreement enables WSC and the WSC Foundation to provide financial and operational support in exchange for an exclusive service agreement to provide studio space and program coordination and oversight at the Craft Center. The Crafts Center retained its non-profit 501(c)3 status. Under this alliance the Crafts Center adopted new articles of organization that identifies WSC Foundation as the sole member of the organization with the Crafts Center coming under the control of the WSC Foundation and being treated as a wholly-owned subsidiary. The Craft Center was required to change its fiscal year under the new organization effective June 30, 2009, changing the fiscal year cycle to July 1st through June 30th. In order for the new organization of the Crafts Center to start with a clean slate the existing debt was extinguished with a related party loan from the WSC Foundation. Loan documents were executed between the Craft Center and the WSC Foundation, on July 1, 2009, providing for a loan of $412,500. From this loan and an advance of operating funds from WSC Foundation, the Crafts Center paid the Non-Profit Finance Fund (NFF) loan in full resulting in the NFF no longer being a creditor. The remaining funds will be used to address vendor debt so that operations may resume. Further, the note payable, bank and the notes payable, other were re-negotiated to a five year term loans. The newly formed board addressed resuming operations as early as September 2009, initially offering programs that historically were sustainable. A budget was developed with new sources of revenue from the agreement between WSC and the Crafts Center, recently awarded grants, in-kind services from WSC and programs. Plans to start an active funds development plan started immediately and are supported by the staff at the WSC Foundation. It is the intent of the board to build-back the organization in a fiscally responsible manner, adding programs as supported by the community and staff as needed by the growth of the organization. Other components of the Crafts Center will be phased in as funds allow such as the Gallery Gift Shop, Gallery Exhibits and additional programming. A strategic business and marketing plan will be developed. An advisory committee will be established to provide expertise in several areas.
