IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt0JOHN CAGE TRUST RIDER TO PART IV OF SCHEDULE A OF FORM 990 The John Cage Trust (the "Trust") was formed in 1993 by The Cunningham Dance Foundation, Inc. ("CDF") to serve as the supporting organization for CDF, which is a publicly-supported charity described under Sections 509(a)(1) or Section 509(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code. The missions of the Trust and CDF are to preserve, disseminate and enhance the works of John Cage and Merce Cunningham, respectively. These two geniuses of Twentieth Century American music and dance were partners and collaborators for over 50 years, and their legacies are intertwined. Therefore, the activities and services provided by the Trust carry out the purposes of CDF and, but for the Trust's involvement, such activities would be undertaken by CDF on its own behalf.
