Part IV
Supplemental Information. Provide the explanations required by Part I, line 2b, columns (iii) and (v); and Part III, lines 9, 9b, 10b, 15b, 15c, 16, and 17b, as applicable. Also provide any additional information. See instructions.
Return Reference Explanation
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 "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 $142. Agreements with outside fundraisers generally provide for invoicing of the Museum based on solicitations made, rather than withholding of amounts from funds raised. Exceptions occur when the fundraiser provides a web portal for donors, in which case a fee is withheld from the donation and the proceeds forwarded to the Museum.
