Additional Explanations

Form 990, Header, Line A

“Part III 4d: Biocurious has a place on the Board of Momental Foundation, a US based non profit.”

Form 990, Header, Line B

“Part VI section 11B. We are an organization which has expanded greatly over past few years run by volunteers. Some elements of the 990 has been discussed with others. no one else has the time to study the 990 form.”

Form 990, Header, Line C

“Part C section C19. We would provide such documents to those interested but in 10 years no one has requested them.”

Form 990, Part III, Line 4A

“This is really a comment about Sec A Part III. In the past our financial year was not the same as the calendar year. We incorrectly labeled the year by the start of the period rather than the end. So the year 2017 is correctly 2016. In 2020 we did a short year which makes our financial year the same as the calendar year. We show only the full years. So 2020 is the full year 2019 and 2021 is the full calendar 2021. The short year that is 2020 is not shown.”

Form 990, Part XI, Line 9

“We are able to get used equipment for pennies on the dollar.”

Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Part VI, Line 1C

“Part VI line 1C: We make a great effort to procure used equipment; such equipment doe not depreciate year by year. It either work or does not.”

IRS990/Desc0We provide a modern biology laboratory along with classroom space. Our mission is to provide science education and an accessible lab space for the public including people who want to pursue research. We served an average of 80 members a month. Members range from high school students (and the exceptional middle grade student) to those who have retired, from student to post-doc. Many have a non-biological background such as software or electrical engineering. Some work on science fair projects, use the lab to learn biology or to do research on an idea. Some based on the work done here have been approved for grants and have started companies.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0We have educational Programs. BioCurious provides a range of classes, lectures and workshops for our members and the general public. They include beginner level classes that teach the basics of biology and lab skills to more advanced classes that include lab practice with sophisticated techniques. This participatory approach to learning gives our members and the general public a safe place to work with cutting edge biotechnolgy tools.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0As part of our mission to democratize biology, we have created a number of community projects that are free and open to the public. Community projects at BioCurious allow any interested person to experience the process of science and learn so laboratory techniques. This provides the foundation so they can pursue their own ideas in the lab. These projects are typically run by PhD-level scientists, meet in the evenings, and are very well attended. A primary focus of community projects is hands-on work in the lab. This provides an opportunity to learn lab skills in a friendly environment so everyone can contribute. We also provide Zoom access to lectures so that people from around the world can attend and contribute. These open forums allow anyone to participate in scientific projects. These projects can lead to publications. For example, we have a community project doing DNA editing with CRISPR, for example. This project is very popular in the community and gives the participants valuable lab experience.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1Part VI section 11B. We are an organization which has expanded greatly over past few years run by volunteers. Some elements of the 990 has been discussed with others. no one else has the time to study the 990 form.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2Part C section C19. We would provide such documents to those interested but in 10 years no one has requested them.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3This is really a comment about Sec A Part III. In the past our financial year was not the same as the calendar year. We incorrectly labeled the year by the start of the period rather than the end. So the year 2017 is correctly 2016. In 2020 we did a short year which makes our financial year the same as the calendar year. We show only the full years. So 2020 is the full year 2019 and 2021 is the full calendar 2021. The short year that is 2020 is not shown.
