Financial Statement Notes

PART V, LINE 4:

“To support the exempt purpose of the milwaukee public museum.”

PART X, LINE 2:

“Milwaukee public museum endowment fund is exempt from income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. Accordingly, no income taxes have been provided for in the consolidated financial statements. The endowment fund's tax return is subject to review and examination by federal and state authorities. The tax returns for fiscal years 2022 and thereafter are open to examination by federal authorities and tax returns for fiscal years 2021 and thereafter are open to examination by state authorities. The tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the consolidated financial statements, only if there is substantial authority that the position will be upheld based on the technical merits of the position. The organization does not believe that it has any uncertain tax positions at august 31, 2025 and 2024.”
