“Any person who shall pay dues specified by the board of directors shall be a member of the athenaeum. Each member shall be entitled to all the rights and privileges provided to members by the bylaws of the athenaeum and subject to rules and regulations made by the board.”
“All members are entitled to attend membership meetings and to vote in the election of of directors and officers.”
“Bylaws may be altered or amended, in whole or in part, at any meeting of the members.”
“The form 990 is initially reviewed by the business manager to verify accuracy in accordance with information provided to the auditors, and corrections are made as needed. A copy of the return is then provided to the treasurer for review, and corrections are made as needed. Copies in electronic or paper form are then distributed to the board for review and approval.”
“The organization monitors and enforces its conflict of interest policy through policy review, examples, disclosure, and withdrawal from participation, if necessary.”
“The finance committee and board of directors review and approve the compensation of the executive director on an annual basis.”
“Streamlined financial statements are published in the annual report to the membership. Other policies and full financial statements are available upon request.”
“The finance committee has not changed its processes for selection of the independent auditor or for oversight of the audit from the prior year.”
“Inexhaustible collections are not capitalized by the athenaeum as the values are not readily determinable. New acquisitions of collection items are recorded as decreases in unrestricted net assets in the year in which the items are acquired, or as decreases in temporarily restricted net assets if the assets used to purchase the items were restricted by donors. Contributed collection items are also not reflected in the financial statements.”
“The providence athenaeum, founded as "the athenaeum" in 1836, is one of the city's oldest cultural centers and one of only 17 u.s. Membership libraries existing today. Its progenitors were two earlier libraries, the providence library company, founded in 1753,and the providence athenaeum, founded in 1831; it became "the providence athenaeum" by amendment to its charter in 1850. The library houses close to 184,000 circulating books, periodicals, and unique and rare books and manuscripts. Its special collections include the original founders' collection; incunabula and manuscripts dating back to the 1300s; significant arts and crafts, travel and exploration, r.i. Industry, and natural history collections; 18th- and 19th-century fiction; and early children's literature. The special collections and archives contain documents that reveal its rich architectural history and provide insights into the intellectual,cultural, economic, and political thinking in providence, new england, and america that help to inform the athenaeum's eclectic programming. As one of the oldest cultural institutions in the state, the athenaeum has long served as a place for citizens to meet and learn from one another. We are continuing to serve a broad public and determined to involve an even larger community at many more levels. The core values of vision 2015 speak to the athenaeum's belief that the active participation of a broad and diverse population is critical in fostering a democratic society. As of the fall of 2011, all our programs were open to the public.”
“The intended use of the endowment fund is to generate additional needed revenue to be used to further the purposes of the athenaeum's mission.”
“The athenaeum evaluates its uncertain tax positions using the guidance for contingencies as contained in generally accepted accounting principles. The athenaeum was not aware of any uncertain tax positions that were not provided for in the accompanying financial statements.”
