IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt0THE HISTORIC RAILWAY REOPENED ON FEBRUARY 24, 1996, DURING A TWO-DAY, FREE, PUBLIC STREET FESTIVAL. ON FEBRUARY 4, 1996, BANK OF AMERICA MADE A SPECIAL $50,000 GRANT TO UNDERWRITE THE FESTIVAL. AS PART OF ITS GOVERNMENTAL SUPPORT OF THE ANGELS FLIGHT RAILWAY FOUNDATION, THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES ARRANGED FOR PLAZA COMMONS, INC. (PCI), A CALIFORNIA NONPROFIT MUTUAL BENEFIT CORPORATION THAT PRODUCES FREE PERFORMING ARTS EVENTS AT THE ADJACENT CALIFORNIA PLAZA, TO MAKE ANNUAL, SPECIAL GRANTS TO THE FOUNDATION IN THE FIRST FIVE YEARS OF THE HISTORIC RAILWAY=S RENEWED OPERATIONS. ON FEBRUARY 4, 1997, PCI MADE A SPECIAL GRANT OF $42,486 TO THE FOUNDATION. LATER, ON APRIL 30, 1997, A SPECIAL GRANT TO REIMBURSE OPENING EXPENSES OF THE RAILWAY, IN THE AMOUNT OF $138,200, WAS RECEIVED DIRECTLY FROM THE CRA. ADDITIONAL PCI SPECIAL GRANTS, TOTALING $87,500, $50,000 AND $37,500, WERE RECEIVED IN 1998, 1999, AND 2000, RESPECTIVELY, AND SPECIAL CRA GRANTS OF $18,040, $24,999, AND $24,999 WERE RECEIVED IN 2000, 2003, AND 2004, RESPECTIVELY. IN 2002, A $10,000 SPECIAL GRANT FROM GRAND PERFORMANCES, ASSOCIATED WITH PCI AND IN RESPONSE TO ADDITIONAL CRA FUNDING, WAS RECEIVED. IN 2001, A GRANT FROM AUTHOR MICHAEL CONNELLY, IN CONNECTION WITH A BENEFIT SALE OF A SPECIAL EDITION OF HIS BOOK, ANGELS FLIGHT, IN THE AMOUNT OF $14,150, WAS RECEIVED. IN 2003, A SPECIAL GRANT OF $500 WAS RECEIVED FROM THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES. IN 2005, THE FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN FOR ANGELS FLIGHT BEGAN IN EARNEST, WITH SIGNIFICANT UNUSUAL GRANTS BEING RECEIVED IN 2005 FROM THE AHMANSON FOUNDATION AND THE DUCOMMUN & GROSS FAMILY FUND (A TOTAL OF $120,000). IN 2006, THERE WAS AN UNUSUAL GRANT FROM THE PARSONS FOUNDATION IN THE AMOUNT OF $150,000. IN 2007, AN UNUSUAL GRANT (ACTUALLY, PAYMENT OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS DUE FROM THE BOILER AND MACHINERY POLICY IN CONNECTION WITH THE 2001 ACCIDENT) OF $250,000 WAS RECEIVED FROM THE CRA. IN ADDITION, THE FIRST INSTALLMENT ($179,767) OF AN UNUSUAL MATCHING GRANT FROM THE CALIFORNIA CULTURAL AND HISTORICAL ENDOWMENT (CCHE) WAS RECEIVED IN 2007. IN 2008, THE AMOUNT OF UNUSUAL MATCHING GRANTS RECEIVED FROM CCHE TOTALED $567,201; AND, IN 2009, THE FINAL UNUSUAL CCHE GRANT AMOUNT WAS $249,382. IN 2010, THERE WAS AN UNUSUAL GRANT THROUGH A DONATION TO THE FOUNDATION BY JOHN H. WELBORNE OF $126,035, THE BALANCE OUTSTANDING FROM A 2004 LOAN TO THE FOUNDATION. IN 2012, FINAL PAYMENT FINALLY WAS RECEIVED FROM A DELAYED PLEDGE FROM MAGUIRE PROPERTIES / MPG OFFICE TRUST WHICH COMBINED OVER TIME TO EQUAL AN UNUSUAL GRANT, LIKE THAT OF THE PARSONS FOUNDATION, IN THE AMOUNT OF $150,000. IN 2013, THE CONGRESSIONAL GRANT (H.R. 4818) ANNOUNCED IN 2004 FINALLY WAS RECEIVED (IN THE AMOUNT OF $196,786). IN 2016, AS PART OF A SPECIAL PROGRAM TO UNDERWRITE FOUNDATION EXPENSES UNTIL A NEW OPERATOR WAS IN PLACE, SENER ENGINEERING COMMENCED AN UNUSUAL GRANT THROUGH INSTALLMENT PAYMENTS THAT AMOUNTED TO A TOTAL OF $71,000 IN 2016 AND (WITH THE PARTICIPATION OF ACS INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT, INC. IN 2017) A TOTAL OF $42,000 IN 2017. ALSO IN 2017, ANGELS FLIGHT DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, LLC ("AFDC") CONTRIBUTED TO THE FOUNDATION FUNDS TO BRING THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE FOUNDATION CURRENT, INCLUDING LEGAL EXPENSES WITH RESPECT TO THE TRANSITION TO A NEW OPERATOR FOR THE RAILWAY AND TO PAY THE REMAINING 2017 COSTS OF MAINTAINING, INSURING, AND REPAIRING THE RAILWAY WHILE OBTAINING NEW GOVERNMENT OPERATIONAL APPROVALS, WITH THE TOTAL OF THIS LARGE UNUSUAL GRANT TO THE FOUNDATION EQUALING $573,754. ALSO IN 2017, AN UNUSUAL GRANT WAS RECEIVED FROM THE AHMANSON FOUNDATION, IN THE AMOUNT OF $60,000, TO ALLOW THE FOUNDATION TO OBTAIN, AT THE VERY END OF DECEMBER, THE UNDERLYING FEE INTEREST IN THE RAILWAY PROPERTY FROM THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES. IN 2018, THE UNNEEDED BALANCE OF $8,417 WAS RETURNED TO THE AHMANSON FOUNDATION.
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt1IN 2020, THE USUAL FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES OF THE FOUNDATION WERE CURTAILED BECAUSE OF COVID-19 CHALLENGES. THAT FOLLOWED A FUNDRAISING SLOWDOWN IN LATE-2019 DUE TO AN INTENTIONAL PAUSE IN ANTICIPATION OF A NEW CAMPAIGN TO BEGIN GENERATING SUBSTANTIAL FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS FOR THE EXPANSION OF THE ANGELS FLIGHT MUSEUM IN COMMERCIAL SPACE TO BE DONATED TO THE FOUNDATION WITHIN THE ADJACENT "ANGELS LANDING" DEVELOPMENT PROJECT PLANNED TO BEGIN CONSTRUCTION IN 2022 OR 2023. AS READILY CAN BE SEEN IN THE HISTORY OF THE FOUNDATION THROUGH ITS TAX FILINGS SINCE 1995, THE FOUNDATION NORMALLY RECEIVES A SUBSTANTIAL PART OF ITS SUPPORT FROM GOVERNMENTAL UNITS OR THE GENERAL PUBLIC. THAT IS EXCEPT IN YEAR 2019, WITH SCHEDULE A, PART II, SECTION C'S PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE OF 26.84 PERCENT, AND YEAR 2020, WITH A PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE OF 17.40%, YEAR 2021 WITH 15.24%, YEAR 2022 WITH 0.0%, AND YEAR 2023 WITH 16.86%. THOSE ARE THE ONLY YEARS IN DECADES THAT THE FOUNDATION'S PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE HAS BEEN LOWER THAN 33 1/3%. THE 25-YEAR RECORD OF THE FOUNDATION'S WORK CLEARLY DEMONSTRATES THAT THE FOUNDATION HAS MAINTAINED, AND STILL MAINTAINS, A CONTINUOUS AND BONA FIDE PROGRAM FOR SOLICITATION OF FUNDS FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC, GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES, OR OTHER PUBLIC CHARITIES. THAT IS HOW THE FOUNDATION HAS BEEN, AND REMAINS, ABLE TO STEWARD THE CITY'S 123-YEAR-OLD LANDMARK FUNICULAR RAILWAY AND MAKE IT AND ITS HISTORIC FACILITIES AVAILABLE FOR THE PUBLIC.
