Supplemental Narrative
Financial Statement Notes
Part III, Line 4: Description of organization'S collections and how it furthers its purpose.
“Letterform Archive maintains a collection of over 45,000 items related to lettering, typography, calligraphy, and graphic design, spanning thousands of years of history.”
Part X : FIN48 Footnote
“Income TaxesFinancial statement presentation follows the recommendations of ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under ASC 740, Letterform Archive is required to report information regarding its exposure to various tax positions taken by Letterform Archive and requires a two-step process that separates recognition from measurement. The first step is determining whether a tax position has met the recognition threshold; the second step is measuring a tax position that meets the recognition threshold. Management believes that Letterform Archive has adequately evaluated its current tax positions and has concluded that as of December 31, 2024, Letterform Archive does not have any uncertain tax positions for which a reserve or an accrual for a tax liability would be necessary.Letterform Archive has received notification from the Internal Revenue Service and the State of California that it qualifies for tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 23701d of the California Revenue and Taxation Code. The exemptions are subject to periodic review by the federal and state taxing authorities and management is confident that Letterform Archive continues to satisfy all federal and state statutes in order to qualify for continued tax exemption status. Letterform Archive could potentially receive unrelated business income in the future (such as program advertising or sub-lease rental income) requiring Letterform Archive to file separate tax returns under federal and state statutes. If such conditions exist, Letterform Archive will calculate and accrue the applicable taxes.”

| IRS990ScheduleA/FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt | 0 | Prior Year Facts and Circumstances: As a nonprofit organization, Letterform Archive must be able to demonstrate that it "normally" receives at least 33 1/3% of its support from the general public. In calculating this support test, Form 990 Schedule A reflects a support percentage of approximately 28% for the year ended December 31, 2023. Letterform Archive believes that other factors provide sufficient evidence that the organization is a valid publicly supported nonprofit charity. The other test is a facts and circumstances test. Under this test, the organization is treated as publicly supported if it normally receives a substantial part of its support from governmental units, from direct or indirect contributions from the general public, and if it is organized and operated to attract new and additional public or governmental support on a continuous basis [Reg. Section 1.170A-9(e)(3)]. The organization will be treated as normally receiving substantial public support if at least 10 percent of the total support normally received by the organization is governmental or public support [Reg. Section 1.170A-9(e)(3)(i)]. An organization meets the requirement of attracting new and additional public or governmental support if it maintains a continuous and bona fide program for soliciting funds from the general public or it carries on activities designed to attract support from governmental units, churches, educational organizations, or other publicly supported charitable or cultural organizations [Reg. Section 1.170A-9(e)(3)(ii)].Letterform Archive has an active ongoing campaign to secure funds from a variety of third-party sources. Various staff members work diligently to solicit funds from foundations and corporate entities. Prior contributors are added to the organization's donor database and follow up contact is made through a combination of mailings and e-mails. Letterform Archive has a diverse Board of Directors, with representatives from a variety of backgrounds providing guidance, support and foresight.For these reasons, Letterform Archive has demonstrated that it satisfies Internal Revenue Service regulations to be classified as a publicly supported exempt organization. |
