Any issues that arise are discussed with the Conner Prairie Foundation, Inc. board. The governance committee is comprised of Conner Prairie Museum, Inc. board members of which at least one also reside on the Conner Prairie Foundation, Inc. board.

“The Foundation is exempt from income taxes on income from related activities under Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Additionally, the Foundation is considered to be a public foundation. The Foundation has been determined to be a Type 1 supporting organization of the Museum under Section 509(a)(3), which is defined as being operated, supervised, or controlled by one or more publicly supported organizations. The Foundation would be subject to income tax if any unrelated business income is generated during the year. For tax reporting purposes, Conner Prairie Properties, LLC is considered a disregarded entity of the Foundation, and its activities are reported as the parent organization's information. Current accounting standards require the Foundation to disclose the amount of potential benefit or obligation to be realized as a result of an examination performed by a taxing authority. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, management has determined that the Foundation does not have any tax positions that result in any uncertainties regarding the possible impact on the Foundation's financial statements. The Foundation does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next 12 months.”

| IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 2 | Conner Prairie Foundation, Inc. does not assign an asset value to the conservation easement. Revenues are recorded when received and expenses are recorded as incurred. |
| IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 3 | The endowment funds held by Conner Prairie Foundation, Inc. may be used only to support the programs and operations of Conner Prairie Museum, Inc. (A related organization). |
| IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 4 | The Foundation is exempt from income taxes on income from related activities under Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Additionally, the Foundation is considered to be a public foundation. The Foundation has been determined to be a Type 1 supporting organization of the Museum under Section 509(a)(3), which is defined as being operated, supervised, or controlled by one or more publicly supported organizations. The Foundation would be subject to income tax if any unrelated business income is generated during the year. For tax reporting purposes, Conner Prairie Properties, LLC is considered a disregarded entity of the Foundation, and its activities are reported as the parent organization's information. Current accounting standards require the Foundation to disclose the amount of potential benefit or obligation to be realized as a result of an examination performed by a taxing authority. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, management has determined that the Foundation does not have any tax positions that result in any uncertainties regarding the possible impact on the Foundation's financial statements. The Foundation does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next 12 months. |
