Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11

“The President reviews the Form 990 prior to filing the Form 990.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12C

“The Conflict of Interest Policy is introduced to all new members of the Board of Directors during their mandatory on-boarding process. Throughout their term, it is available for viewing in the Musueum's official files and is reviewed once per year at a full meeting of the Board of Directors. At each of the quarterly Board of Director's meetings, directors are asked whether they must disclose any conflicts of interest.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15

“The process for determing the compensation for the President and other key employees was undertaken by the Board of Directors who reviewed comparable organizations and positions before making a determination which was voted upon and included in the 2013 budget.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19

“The governing documents, conflict of interest policy, financial statements and Form 990 are immediately made available to the public by calling the Museum's office, walking into the Museum's office or mailing in a request to the Museum. When a request is received, Design Museum Boston sends the requested documents within 14 business days. The Form 990 and financial statements are also available through the Massachusetts Attorney General's office/website.”

“In determining the recognition of uncertain tax positions, the Museum applies a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold and determines the measurement of uncertain tax positions considering the amounts and probabilities of the outcomes that could be realized upon ultimate settlement with taxing authorities. As of December 31, 2014, the Museum has no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.”

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0In determining the recognition of uncertain tax positions, the Museum applies a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold and determines the measurement of uncertain tax positions considering the amounts and probabilities of the outcomes that could be realized upon ultimate settlement with taxing authorities. As of December 31, 2014, the Museum has no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The President reviews the Form 990 prior to filing the Form 990.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1The Conflict of Interest Policy is introduced to all new members of the Board of Directors during their mandatory on-boarding process. Throughout their term, it is available for viewing in the Musueum's official files and is reviewed once per year at a full meeting of the Board of Directors. At each of the quarterly Board of Director's meetings, directors are asked whether they must disclose any conflicts of interest.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2The process for determing the compensation for the President and other key employees was undertaken by the Board of Directors who reviewed comparable organizations and positions before making a determination which was voted upon and included in the 2013 budget.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3The governing documents, conflict of interest policy, financial statements and Form 990 are immediately made available to the public by calling the Museum's office, walking into the Museum's office or mailing in a request to the Museum. When a request is received, Design Museum Boston sends the requested documents within 14 business days. The Form 990 and financial statements are also available through the Massachusetts Attorney General's office/website.
