“Anthrocon is a 100% membership-supported organization.

“A PDF version of the 990 is sent via email to the members of the board of directors for review prior to submission.”

“Our public documents are maintained electronically, and are delivered by email to those who submit electronic requests. In the event that a written request is received, a printed copy of the document is delivered to the requester by US Mail.”

“Anthrocon's primary program service is an art show which showcases the skills of visual artists in our community. In 2021, due to ongoing COVID-19 restrictions, the convention was conducted online with only performance art included in its programming. Likewise, a riverboat cruise intended to showcase the skills of our costumers to the public is typically planned, but this too was postponed. Both the Art Show and the cruise are intended to return once COVID-19 restrictions are lifted and the convention can once again be held in a physical location.”

“Anthrocon was obliged to refund $1395 in membership fees that had been collected prior to the cancellation of the 2021 convention due to COVID-19 restrictions.”
