Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 4

“On June 7, 2023 the Board of Trustees held a meeting at which time it adopted a Third Amendment of the Declaration of Trust dated May 10, 1984. The Amendment stipulates that the Trustees will meet at least every five years instead of every year and provides that the chairman and two other trustees may call a special meeting. The Amendment eliminates the requirement for an annual report to the public and replaces it with the annual requirement to file a Form 990 with the Department of the Treasury. The Amendment expanded on the responsibilities of the Repositories to undertake an annual inventory and, along with other exhibitors, to report on all aspects of displayed items. Finally, the Amendment requires the display of ten or more Drawings to be accompanied by a Plaque of Introduction explaining the background of the Trusts collection.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8B

“The Trust made all decisions by written consent and thus were contemporaneously documented. There are no committees.”

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

“The tax return is circulated to board members before filing for individual review and comment.”

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

“Each Trustee annually, by January 31, shall sign a conflict statemant that affirms the person has received a copy of the Code of Ethics, agreed to comply with the Code and agreed to comply with the disclosure and recusall requirements in the Code. The Code of Ethics will be reviewed by the Board of Trustees annually.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“The Trust provides copies of organizational and financial documents upon request.”

IRS990/Desc0On November 15 and 16, 2025, The Bingham Trust, in conjunction with the Saint Louis Art Museum, hosted a two-day symposium on George Caleb Bingham that honored and celebrated the 50th anniversary of Missouri Governor Christopher S. Bond's public subscription campaign to acquire 112 preliminary drawings for Bingham genre paintings. The event was free. This symposium explored the connection between Bingham?s life as an artist and a politician, how those two existences are intimately intertwined, and how his work continues to be relevant to our nation today. Chaired by Andrew Walker, executive director of the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, speakers included Claire Barry, emeritus director of conservation at the Kimbell Art Museum, Fort Worth, Texas; Amy Torbert, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Associate Curator of American Art at the Saint Louis Art Museum; Joan E. Stack, curator of art collections at the State Historical Society of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri; and Charles E. Valier, chairman of The Bingham Trust.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0The Trust holds 113 original preparatory drawings by George Caleb Bingham and 12 related engravings after Bingham's paintings in trust for the People of Missouri who contributed to the fund that enabled the purchases. The Trust, in partnership with the Saint Louis Art Museum and the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City stored, conserved, collaborated with scholars to interpret, and lent the works to public museums in the U.S. to exhibit the drawings. The two museums provided these services to the Trust without charge. Due to the fragility of the ink and paper on which they were produced, they can only be exposed for limited periods of time and are stored in carefully controlled and secure environments.
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0On October 12, 2023 Charles E. Valier, Trustee and Chairman of The Bingham Trust gave a talk about George Caleb Bingham at the Saint Louis Art Museum titled 'I Forget I am a Painter, Not a Politician'. Also in 2023, trustees of The Bingham Trust researched and prepared for two Washington University lectures relating to the life and art of George Caleb Bingham. The first lecture was on February 9, 2024 on the Washington University campus (and simultaneously zoomed) titled "George Caleb Bingham, How his Ejection from the Missouri Legislature Reshaped his Art". The second was on February 16, 2024 at the Saint Louis Art Museum titled "George Caleb Bingham, How his Election Series Paintings Illuminate Ante-bellum Missouri Politics".

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0On June 7, 2023 the Board of Trustees held a meeting at which time it adopted a Third Amendment of the Declaration of Trust dated May 10, 1984. The Amendment stipulates that the Trustees will meet at least every five years instead of every year and provides that the chairman and two other trustees may call a special meeting. The Amendment eliminates the requirement for an annual report to the public and replaces it with the annual requirement to file a Form 990 with the Department of the Treasury. The Amendment expanded on the responsibilities of the Repositories to undertake an annual inventory and, along with other exhibitors, to report on all aspects of displayed items. Finally, the Amendment requires the display of ten or more Drawings to be accompanied by a Plaque of Introduction explaining the background of the Trusts collection.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1The Trust made all decisions by written consent and thus were contemporaneously documented. There are no committees.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2The tax return is circulated to board members before filing for individual review and comment.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3Each Trustee annually, by January 31, shall sign a conflict statemant that affirms the person has received a copy of the Code of Ethics, agreed to comply with the Code and agreed to comply with the disclosure and recusall requirements in the Code. The Code of Ethics will be reviewed by the Board of Trustees annually.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt4The Trust provides copies of organizational and financial documents upon request.
