“The President of the Foundation, Robert F Collings Jr, has a family relationship with (is married to) the Treasurer of the Foundation, Marie Caroline Collings.”
“A draft of the Form 990 was circulated to each member of the Board of Trustees, and approval was obtained before filing.”
“A legal notice was published in the Middlesex News, alerting the public that they can contact the Foundation office to view these documents.”
“Other expenses include software and other subscriptions, shipping/postage, payroll and bank service charges, event direct costs, subcontract expenses, printed materials, and development expenses.”
“The Foundation used the cash method in years prior to FY 2021 (tax year 2020). Amended returns will be filed for open years to reflect the changes.”
“The Foundation was audited for the first time this year, and the audit covered FY 2019, FY 2020 and FY 2021.”
“The Accounting Policy footnote to the Audited Financial Statements states that "Non-cash contributions are recognized at estimated fair market value."”
“The Foundation has a significant collection of military and historical vehicles, including tanks, automobiles, aircraft, and naval vessels. The American Heritage Museum is housed in a 67,000 + square foot building located at the Collings Foundation's headquarters on property bordering the Towns of Hudson and Stow, Massachusetts. The concept of the American Heritage Museum began when the Foundation was selected to receive the massive collection of tanks, armored vehicles and military artifacts from the Military Vehicle Technology Foundation in 2013. Receiving this historically important and extensive collection was a tremendous honor for the Collings Foundation. Exhibiting these artifacts in the most meaningful way possible is our goal. We designed the American Heritage Museum to fully engage people in understanding our turbulent past. In this remarkable place, American history will be explored, studied and most of all, remembered. Through educational interpretation, and a chronologically arranged series of dioramas and exhibits, the American Heritage Museum brings the history of our veterans to life.”
“Audited Financial Statements did not present cost of inventory as a reduction of revenues but instead presented the $103,343 as "Merchandise" as an expense on the Statement of Functional Expenses (in the Retail column).”
“Same explanation as with respect to revenue - the audited financial statements treated the cost of the inventory as an expense whereas for tax purposes this amount ($103,342) served to reduce the net income from the sale of the Gift Shop.”
