Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“Executive and finance committee reviews the form 990 with management prior to signing and sending to irs.”

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

“A vendor summary will be provided annually by the farm's finance director to each board member and company officer. They will all be required to disclose in writing any ownership interest or other business dealings with any of the vendors with whom the farm has a relationship. Should a conflict arise, it will be documented and signed by a board member or company officer and disclosed to the board chairman and executive committee to determine if further action is warranted. Any dealings at the board level with the vendor relationship will then require the board member or company officer to recuse him/herself from any votes taken or related actions.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“In helping living history farms evaluate and establish compensation for their president, the local market and other similar nonprofit organizations are surveyed every three years to assess the compensation of top executives. The president's compensation is reviewed and approved annually by the board of directors.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“Living history farms makes its governing documents, financial statements and form 990 available to the public upon request. The financial statements and form 990 are posted on the organization's website.”

Additional Explanations

FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C:

“No changes from prior year.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART III, LINE 1A:

“Collections consists primarily of 17th, 18th, and 19th century rural midwest and agricultural artifacts and buildings, acquired through purchase and contributions since the foundation's inception. Through the leadership of its board of directors and staff, the foundation strives to preserve, protect, and maintain the collection in perpetuity. Purchases of collection items are recorded as decreases in net assets in the year in which the items are acquired. Proceeds from deaccession are used exclusively to acquire other items for the collection and are reflected as increases in the appropriate net asset class.”

PART III, LINE 4:

“The collections allow living history farms to educate the public on farming of the past”

PART V, LINE 4:

“Board designated funds are designated for endowment funds. Term endowment funds are available for improvements to various sites, for events, programs and restoration projects. Permanently restricted funds are maintained in perpetuity with the income used for educational programs and for employee support and recognition activities.”

PART X, LINE 2:

“Accounting principles generally accepted in the united states of america require management to evaluate tax positions taken by the foundation and recognize a tax liability (or asset) for an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the internal revenue service. Management has evaluated their material tax positions and determined there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosures in the financial statements. The foundation is subject to routine audits by tax authorities; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. Management believes the foundation is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years ended prior to december 31, 2021.”

PART XI, LINE 2D - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS:

“Fundraising expenses 15,387. Cost of goods sold 29,853.”

PART XII, LINE 2D - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS:

“Fundraising expenses 15,387. Cost of goods sold 29,853.”
