“Delegation of Control Over Management Functions: The Center for Jewish History (the "Center"), a related party (see Schedule R), provides for the operation of the Institute's operating facility, including (i) maintenance of all offices and specialized areas; (ii) control of the mechanical systems for the building; (iii) maintenance of elevators; (iv) support for all technology; (v) security; and (vi) many other related services. The Center also serves as the central repository for the Institute's archival documents, books, photographs, paintings, and artifacts. Although the Center FOR JEWISH HISTORY derives its revenue from sources typical of not-for-profit enterprises, revenues generated by the Center are not sufficient to cover its operating expenses. THEREFORE, THE INSTITUTE AND the OTHER MEMBERS of the center CONTRIBUTE IN EXCESS OF $1,000,000 ANNUALLY to cover the Center's operating costs NOT COVERED BY THE CENTER'S FUNDRAISING. The amount contributed by each member is based upon the member's allocated space at the Center. THE INSTITUTE CONTRIBUTED $398,840 AND $196,000 IN 2016 AND 2015, RESPECTIVELY. In addition to the facility services agreement, during 2014 the Institute and the Center entered into an agreement whereby the Center would provide accounting and other administrative functions to the Institute. THIS AGREEMENT WAS TERMINATED AT THE END OF 2016 AS THE INSTITUTE JOINED WITH THE AMERICAN JEWEISH HISTORICAL SOCIETY IN SHARING AN IN-HOUSE ACCOUNTANT TO PROVIDE THESE SERVICES. THE CENTER IS STILL PAID A SMALL FEE TO WRITE AND DEPOSIT CHECKS.”
