Part III, Line 1a:In accordance with SFAS 116, the Society has elected not to report collection items in its Statement of Financial Position or Statement of Activities. Collection items acquired either through purchase or donation are not capitalized. Purchases of collection items are recorded as a decrease in net assets without donor restrictions if purchased with unrestricted assets and as decreases in net assets with donor restrictions if purchased with donor-restricted assets. Contributions of collection items are not recognized in the statement of activities and changes in net assets. The Society has a policy that requires net proceeds realized from the sale or transfer of deaccessioned objects to be used only for acquisition and conservation of collections. There were no items sold or transferred by the Society during the year ended September 30, 2025. The Society's collections include books, manuscripts, photographs, research materials and objects relating to the history of New Hampshire. These collections have been acquired by donation, bequests and purchases. Collection items are acquired or conserved based on the Society's long-range plans for collections development. Collections are made available for scholarly use by the public and maintained under appropriate security and preservation conditions.
Part III, Line 4:The Society's collections include books, manuscripts, photographs, research materials, and objects relating to the history of New Hampshire. These collections have been acquired by donation, bequests, and purchases. Collection items are acquired or conserved based on the Society's long-range plans for collections development. Collections are made available for scholarly use by the public and maintained under appropriate security and preservation conditions.
Part V, Line 4:The Society's endowment consists of 50 named funds established for specific educational or program purposes. Its endowment includes both permanently and temporarily donor-restricted endowment funds, as well as funds designated by the Board of Trustees to function as endowments ("quasi-endowment funds"). The Society maintains a formal and detailed policy of appropriating for distribution a reasonable amount of the endowment fund's average market value in such a way as to maintain a long-term investment return on the endowment funds while simultaneously funding educational and programmatic purposes. The majority of the Society's designated funds for endowment are to be used for: general operations; museum acquisitions and conservation; library acquisitions and conservation; publications; educational programs and services; and building improvements and repairs.
Part X, Line 2:The Society is a not-for-profit organization exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is classified as other than a private foundation; however, certain unrelated business income is subject to federal taxation. For the year ended September 30, 2025, there was no liability for a tax on unrelated business income. The Society has adopted the provisions of ASC 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Accordingly, management has evaluated the Society's tax positions and concluded the Society had maintained its tax-exempt status, does not have any significant unrelated business income and had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements. With few exceptions, the Society is no longer subject to income tax examinations by the U.S. Federal or State tax authorities for years before 2022.

ExplanationThe Organization engaged Eeskay NH to provide gaming and casino services on behalf of the Organization and as a third-party, independent contractor. As part of this relationship and transaction, the Organization registered for and secured the appropriate licenses to conduct gaming activities with the New Hampshire Lottery Commission. Eeskay NH was contracted by the Organization to host, operate, and run gaming and casino events on behalf of the Organization during the fiscal year. Aside from contracting with Eeskay to host and coordinate the games, and to receive a portion of the proceeds thereof, New Hampshire Historical Society was not itself otherwise involved with the maintenance or running of the games. Eeskay NH collected all gaming revenues, distributed all prize payouts, kept the books and records for the charitable gaming days, and remitted the portion due to the Organization in accordance with NH Lottery regulations regarding charitable gaming activities. Additionally, Eeskay agreed to submit all necessary financial reports and other documentation applicable under State Gaming Law to the State of New Hampshire. Per the agreement between the Organization and Eeskay NH, the Organization was not charged any rental or facility fees for the casino services provided by Eeskay NH, nor did Eeskay retain back any portion of the gross gaming proceeds due to the Organization. Therefore, $0 has been reported on this Form 990, Schedule G, Part III, Line 15b, and the $56,272 reported on this Form 990, Schedule G, Part III, Line 15b represents the net gaming revenues obtained by the Organization pursuant to the agreement.ExplanationTxt

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 4The Society's bylaws were amended in April 2025. The bylaws state that Trustees are to be limited to two (2) consecutive four-year terms, but may be reelected after having been absent from the board for at least one (1) year. The bylaws were amended to allow that the Board may vote to extend the term of the Chair for up to two (2) additional terms of one (1) year each, which must be served consecutively.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 6Membership Categories: the Society shall consist of individual, couple, family, life, business, and institutional members in good standings by virtue of their having paid their dues and such other categories of membership as may from time to time be established by the Board of Trustees, including complimentary members who are not required to pay any dues. Qualifications: membership shall be open to all of the above who are interested in furthering the purposes and work of the Society, to be effective upon payment of designated dues, and shall be valid for one year from the date of payment. Rights and Privileges of Membership: only those members of all categories that have paid their dues and are in good standing shall be entitled to vote, one vote per member, at all meetings of the members, and to the full privileges of membership in the Society, as determined from time to time by, and subject to such regulations as may be prescribed by, the Board of Trustees. Voting is limited to persons eighteen (18) years of age or older. Voting may be exercised in person or by proxy as determined by the Trustees, in which event proxies shall be counted for the purpose of determining a quorum. Dues: the Board of Trustees shall from time to time determine the amount of annual dues payable by members of each category. When any member shall become delinquent in the payment of dues, his or her membership shall terminate and he or she shall no longer be a member in good standing.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7aThe Members vote to elect members of the Board of Trustees at the annual meeting. Members do not vote to elect Officers of the Board; Officers are elected by the Board itself. Additionally, it is the Organization's Board of Trustees, as elected by the Members, that shall establish all Society policies, plans, programs, budgets, and expenses; the Members themselves do not engage in these governance decisions.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11bThe Organization engages an independent public accounting firm to prepare its Form 990 on its behalf. The completed Form 990 is presented by the engaged accountants to the applicable officers and to the full Board of Trustees prior to filing.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cTrustees having a real or apparent conflict of interest in any matter before the Board must disclose the possible conflict and exclude themselves from the discussion and/or the vote on the matter in question. Trustees having an interest in a proposed pecuniary benefit transaction with the Society that is brought before the Board shall have an affirmative obligation to disclose such interest and shall be prohibited from being present during or participating in the discussion on the subject or voting thereon. The Board shall authorize the Society to enter into such transactions only in accordance with the applicable provisions of RSA 7:19-A.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15The Executive and Compensation Committees of the Society strive to ensure that the process for determining the compensation and benefits offered to the top officials and executives of the New Hampshire Historical Society is efficient, effective, and ultimately serves the public and furthers the Society's mission. The Institution adheres to good governance practices in establishing executive compensation. The Executive Committee serves as the Compensation Committee of the Society and makes recommendations to the full Board of Trustees in matters of the President's terms of employment, including compensation and benefits. The compensation and benefits of the President are set forth in either a written compensation and benefits term sheet, or in a formal written employment agreement executed between the Society and the President. The Executive Committee will submit the recommended compensation term sheet or formal employment agreement with the President to the Board of Trustees for discussion and action. The Board and Executive Committee discuss the matter during a portion of the board meeting when the President is excused from the meeting and not present. The term sheet or formal agreement with the President must be approved by a majority vote of the Board of Trustees present at a duly called and held Board of Trustees meeting where the required quorum of Directors is present to conduct a meeting. Comparisons of public data on compensation are used and documented in determining the President's compensation, as well as facts and circumstances relating to the past performance of the President. The President's compensation package is reviewed regularly by the Board of Trustees. The President of the Society is responsible for all administrative details and for the implementation of policies, programs, and long range objectives approved by the Board of Trustees, including compensation and benefits offered to officers and senior managers. The President exercises full supervision and management of all personnel, assigns duties, and so forth within the policies approved by the Board. Compensation for senior managers is determined through a due diligence process that the President employs based upon the comparisons of public data, particularly the published wage scales of the New England Museum Association, past performance, and the ambitious goals stated in senior managers' annual work plan objectives. Overall compensation is reviewed by the Finance Committee and a recommendation is made to the Board of Trustees for their approval as part of the annual budget process.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19The Society's audited financial statements are available on the Society's website, or by appointment at the library. The governing documents and conflict of interest policy are available by appointment at the Society's library in Concord, NH.
