Supplemental Narrative
Additional Explanations
FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION
“The balzekas museum of lithuanian culture is dedicated to the perservation and perpetuation of lithuanian culture. Through our exhibits, classes, seminars, projects, and intercultural programs we celebrate the achievements of lithuanian americans, the lithuanian nation, and lithuanian communities worldwide.”
Form 990, Page 2, Part III, Line 4A
“We operate an ethnic heritage museum and provide educational programming such as classes, workshops, seminars & intercultural exchanges. Our museum houses the largest collection of lithuanian cultural artifacts outside of lithuania and serves 3,000 active members plus numerous visitors. Our collections, periodicals, and library are sought out internationally for scholarly research. After 2 mandated pandemic closures in 2020, we are pleased to report that the museum resumed in-person programming including its annual award dinner and concert in 2021. However, annual trips to lithuania were still suspended due to covid-related travel restrictions to that country. Genealogy research services, language classes, and book club presentations were conducted both online and in-person. We resumed exhibition tours and continued digitizing our collections, including an extensive film and photographic archive. We also provided space for socially distanced senior and youth programs in our immediate neighborhood.”
Financial Statement Notes
Schedule D, Page 1, Part III, Line 1A
“Note about collections from audited financials: the museum does not capitalize its collections. The museum has a varied storehouse of collections appropriate to the lithuanian culture such as art objects, rare coins, amber and stamps, folk art (such as wood carvings, scarves, other textiles, painted easter egss), maps, archives, and other miscellaneous items. A library of books and other materials also represents an important function of the museum as does the giftshop. Each of the items is catalogued, preserved and cared for, and activities verifying their exostence and assessing their condition are performed continuously.”
Schedule D, Page 2, Part III, Line 4
“We hold the largest collection of lithuanian cultural artifacts outside of lithuania. Our collection is available to the general public and our members for research and educational purposes. We seek to celebrate the history and culture of the lithuanian people, nation and immigrants to america.”
Schedule D, Page 3, Part X
“The museum is a not-for-profit organization that is exempt from income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. The museum has also been classified as an entity that is not a private foundation within the meaning of section 509(a) and qualifies for deductible contributions as provided in section 170(b)(1)(a)(vi). There was no unrelated business income nor unrecognized tax benefits for the year ended december 31, 2021. Each of the organization's prior three years remains subject to examination by the internal revenue service. The museum has evaluated its tax positions for all open tax years. Based on the evaluation of the museum 's tax positions, management believes all tax positions taken would be upheld under an examination. Therefore, no provision for the effects of uncertain tax positions has been recorded for the year ended december 31, 2021.”

OUR COLLECTIONS, PERIODICALS, AND LIBRARY ARE SOUGHT OUT INTERNATIONALLY FOR SCHOLARLY RESEARCH. AFTER 2 MANDATED PANDEMIC CLOSURES IN 2020, WE ARE PLEASED TO REPORT THAT THE MUSEUM RESUMED IN-PERSON PROGRAMMING INCLUDING ITS ANNUAL AWARD DINNER AND CONCERT IN 2021. HOWEVER, ANNUAL TRIPS TO LITHUANIA WERE STILL SUSPENDED DUE TO COVID-RELATED TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS TO THAT COUNTRY. GENEALOGY RESEARCH SERVICES, LANGUAGE CLASSES, AND BOOK CLUB PRESENTATIONS WERE CONDUCTED BOTH ONLINE AND IN-PERSON. WE RESUMED EXHIBITION TOURS AND CONTINUED DIGITIZING OUR COLLECTIONS, INCLUDING AN EXTENSIVE FILM AND PHOTOGRAPHIC ARCHIVE. WE ALSO PROVIDED SPACE FOR SOCIALLY DISTANCED SENIOR AND YOUTH PROGRAMS IN OUR IMMEDIATE NEIGHBORHOOD. |
