Identifier Return Reference Explanation
ORGANIZATION'S MISSION FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 THE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM OF INDIANAPOLIS (THE "MUSEUM"), THE LARGEST CHILDREN'S MUSEUM IN THE WORLD, WAS INCORPORATED IN THE STATE OF INDIANA ON DECEMBER 22, 1925, STATING AS ITS PURPOSE: "TO OPERATE A CHILDREN'S MUSEUM." THE MUSEUM OPENED TO THE PUBLIC IN JANUARY, 1926 AND CURRENTLY ATTRACTS OVER 1,000,000 VISITORS A YEAR. THE MUSEUM IS A PUBLIC MUSEUM OFFERING A BROAD SPECTRUM OF EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES AND INTERACTIVE FAMILY LEARNING EXPERIENCES TO A DIVERSE AUDIENCE THAT INCLUDES CHILDREN OF ALL AGES, ADULTS, FAMILIES, INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES, CITIZENS 65 YEARS AND OLDER, TOURISTS, NEIGHBORS, STUDENTS, AND THEIR TEACHERS. THROUGHOUT ITS ENTIRE HISTORY, THE MUSEUM HAS CONTINUED TO DEVELOP INNOVATIVE METHODS TO PROVIDE TRULY EXTRAORDINARY FAMILY LEARNING EXPERIENCES. THE MUSEUM'S EXHIBITION PROGRAM IS A BLEND OF MAJOR, "PERMANENT" FAMILY LEARNING EXHIBITIONS, WITH A PROJECTED "LIFE EXPECTANCY" OF 10-15 YEARS; SPECIAL, TEMPORARY EXHIBITS THE MUSEUM RENTS OR PRODUCES FOR AN AVERAGE PERIOD OF APPROXIMATELY FOUR OR FIVE MONTHS; AND INTERNATIONAL TRAVELING EXHIBITS PRODUCED FOR OTHER MUSEUMS. EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AT THE MUSEUM ARE DESIGNED TO RELATE TO, COMPLEMENT, AND DEVELOP THEMES PRESENTED IN PERMANENT, TEMPORARY, AND SPECIAL EXHIBITS; AND TO PROMOTE THE DEVELOPMENTAL NEEDS OF CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES. THE MUSEUM OFFERS MORE THAN 4,000 EDUCATIONAL CLASSES, PROGRAMS, AND ACTIVITIES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR THAT EXTEND AND DEVELOP EXHIBIT THEMES. UNLIKE MOST MUSEUMS CREATED FOR CHILDREN, THE MUSEUM MAINTAINS A COLLECTION. IT IS THE LARGEST AND MOST COMPREHENSIVE COLLECTION OF ANY YOUTH MUSEUM IN THE WORLD, CONSISTING OF MORE THAN 120,,000 ARTIFACTS. THE MUSEUM COLLECTS SIGNIFICANT ARTIFACTS AND SPECIMENS TO USE IN EXHIBITIONS AND THEIR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS, AND PRESERVES THOSE ARTIFACTS, SPECIMENS, AND THEIR CONTEXTUAL INFORMATION FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS OF CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES. COLLECTIONS ARE DIVIDED INTO THREE PRINCIPAL AREAS OF INTEREST OR "DOMAINS": AMERICAN EXPERIENCE (WHICH INCLUDES A GROWING AFRICAN AMERICAN COLLECTION OF ARTIFACTS), WORLD CULTURES, AND NATURAL WORLD.
COLLECTIONS (CONTINUED FROM PART III) FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C CULTURAL WORLD DOMAIN: COLLECTIONS CONTAIN FOLK TOYS, SPECIAL CLOTHES, DECORATED EVERYDAY OBJECTS AND ART BY CHILDREN AND INTERNATIONALLY-KNOWN ARTISTS. AMERICAN EXPERIENCE DOMAIN: COLLECTIONS CONTAIN OVER 39,500 AMERICAN AND AFRICAN-AMERICAN OBJECTS SPANNING ALMOST 200 YEARS. THESE ARE SEEN BY GRANDPARENTS, PARENTS AND CHILDREN IN GALLERY EXHIBITS AND EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES. THE COLLECTION OF THE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE: ARTIFACTS TELL STORIES THAT CONNECT GENERATIONS; ARTIFACTS OFFER INSIGHT INTO THE LIVES OF PEOPLE HERE AND IN OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD; ARTIFACTS ARE REFERENCE POINTS FOR CHILDREN TO COMPARE THEIR LIVES WITH PEOPLE THROUGH TIME AND ACROSS CULTURES; ARTIFACTS INSPIRE OUR IMAGINATION AND ENRICH OUR LIVES.
Delegate broad authority to a committee Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 1a THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES IS COMPRISED OF MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, AND DOES NOT INCLUDE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE NOT ON THE BOARD. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MAY EXERCISE ALL OF THE POWERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES IN THE GOVERNANCE OF THE MUSEUM DURING INTERVALS BETWEEN MEETINGS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND SUBJECT TO SUCH LIMITATIONS AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY LAW OR BY RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES MAY, AT ITS DISCRETION, RESCIND THE ACTS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MAY ALSO FROM TIME TO TIME FORMULATE AND RECOMMEND TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES POLICIES REGARDING THE MANAGEMENT OF THE BUSINESS AND AFFAIRS OF THE MUSEUM.
Review of form 990 by governing body Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b THE FORM 990 IS REVIEWED IN DETAIL BY MANAGEMENT, AND A DRAFT OF THE FORM 990 IS PROVIDED TO EVERY MEMBER OF THE GOVERNING BODY FOR REVIEW AT A REGULARLY SCHEDULED BOARD MEETING. UPON COMPLETION, A FINAL DRAFT OF THE FORM 990 IS DISTRIBUTED VIA EMAIL TO EVERY MEMBER OF THE GOVERNING BODY BEFORE IS IT FILED WITH THE IRS.
Conflict of interest policy Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c A CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY IS IN PLACE THAT APPLIES TO ALL TRUSTEES, DISTINGUISHED ADVISORS, HONORARY TRUSTEES, COMMITTEE MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES AND VOLUNTEERS. A CONFLICT OF INTEREST STATEMENT IS SIGNED ANNUALLY BY TRUSTEES, DISTINGUISHED ADVISORS, HONORARY TRUSTEES, COMMITTEE MEMBERS, AND UPPER MANAGEMENT EMPLOYEES. ONCE THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST STATEMENTS ARE SIGNED, THEY ARE REVIEWED BY IN-HOUSE LEGAL COUNSEL FOR POTENTIAL OR ACTUAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. AT ALL TIMES, ALL PERSONS WHO HAVE AN ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST ARE REQUIRED TO DISCLOSE IT - TRUSTEES, DISTINGUISHED ADVISORS, HONORARY TRUSTEES AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS MAKE SUCH DISCLOSURE TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES; EMPLOYEES AND VOLUNTEERS MAKE SUCH DISCLOSURE TO THE VP OF HUMAN RESOURCES, WHO THEN CONTACTS THE MUSEUM'S CEO AND THE BOARD CHAIR. BEFORE ANY TRANSACTION INVOLVING A POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST MAY OCCUR, THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES IS REQUIRED TO DETERMINE WHETHER AN ACTUAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST EXISTS AND, IF SO, WHETHER A MORE ADVANTAGEOUS TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT IS REASONABLY ATTAINABLE UNDER CIRCUMSTANCES NOT PRODUCING A CONFLICT OF INTEREST, AND WHETHER THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION IS IN THE MUSEUM'S BEST INTEREST, IS FOR THE MUSEUM'S OWN BENEFIT, AND IS FAIR AND REASONABLE. THE INTERESTED PERSON MAY NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE BOARD'S DISCUSSION OR DECISION REGARDING THE POTENTIAL CONFLICT. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST DISCOVERED ONCE A TRANSACTION IS IN PROCESS WILL BE ADDRESSED BY THE BOARD AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, AND THE INTERESTED PERSON MAY BE SUBJECT TO DISCIPLINE, INCLUDING TERMINATION, FOR FAILURE TO DISCLOSE THE CONFLICT IN A TIMELY MANNER.
Process used to establish compensation of top management official Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15a AFTER THE END OF THE YEAR, THE CEO PROVIDES AN OUTLINE OF HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR THE PRIOR YEAR. HE RECOMMENDS STAFF MEMBERS AND OTHERS TO PARTICIPATE IN A CONFIDENTIAL SURVEY OF HIS PERFORMANCE CONDUCTED BY THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. IN ADDITION, THE SAME SURVEY QUESTIONS ARE ALSO SENT TO ALL OF THE TRUSTEES. THE SURVEY RESULTS ARE SENT TO THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD IN TOTAL CONFIDENCE. THE CHAIR THEN SHARES A SYNOPSIS OF THE COMMENTS WITH THE MEMBERS OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE HAS BEEN MADE UP OF EITHER OFFICERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OR PAST CHAIRS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES RETAINED AN EXTERNAL FIRM, QUATT & ASSOCIATES, TO CONDUCT A COMPENSATION MARKET ANALYSIS OF THE CEO'S TOTAL COMPENSATION. THIS PROCESS INVOLVED, A REVIEW OF THE EXECUTIVE'S CURRENT COMPENSATION AND RESPONSIBILITIES, DETERMINATION OF A SPECIFIC MARKETPLACE OF COMPARATIVE ORGANIZATIONS, IN-DEPTH MARKET ANALYSIS OF THE COMPARABLE PEER GROUP AND FINALLY, SPECIFIC DATA DRIVEN RECOMMENDATIONS FOR BOTH BASE AND VARIABLE PAY ADJUSTMENTS FOR THE CEO POSITION. SEPARATE COUNSEL WAS RETAINED IN 2011 BY THE TRUSTEES TO ASSIST WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE MUSEUM AND THE CEO WHICH EXTENDS THROUGH CALENDAR YEAR 2014. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE MAKES A SALARY RECOMMENDATION WHICH IS SHARED WITH THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE FOR APPROVAL. QUATT REVIEWED THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE'S SALARY ADJUSTMENT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR 2012. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE THEN APPROVES OR AMENDS THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. THE CHAIR THEN REPORTS TO THE BOARD IN EXECUTIVE SESSION AS TO WHAT THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE HAVE DETERMINED. THIS OCCURRED AT THE MARCH 20, 2012 BOARD OF TRUSTEES MEETING IN EXECUTIVE SESSION.
PROCESS USED TO ESTABLISH COMPENSATION OF OTHER OFFICERS/KEY EMPLOYEES FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 15B THE COMPENSATION OF THE OTHER EMPLOYEES OF THE ORGANIZATION IS DETERMINED BY THE HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT WITH FINAL APPROVAL FROM THE PRESIDENT/CEO WITH INPUT FROM THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. COMPENSATION DETERMINATIONS ARE BASED ON THE ANALYSIS OF: COMPARABLE MARKET DATA, INTERNAL EQUITY, INPUT FROM PROFESSIONAL COMPENSATION CONSULTANTS AND JOB RESPONSIBILITY ANALYSIS. THE SENIOR LEVEL AND DIRECTOR LEVEL COMPENSATION RATES WERE ANALYZED IN 2012. THE ORGANIZATION RETAINED AN EXTERNAL COMPENSATION CONSULTANT, QUATT & ASSOCIATES, TO REVIEW AND GIVE FEEDBACK ON THE MARKET ANALYSIS OF COMPARABILITY DATA FOR THE TOTAL COMPENSATION FOR THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE TEAM. THIS WAS GENERATED BY HUMAN RESOURCES STAFF, REVIEWED BY THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE AND APPROVED BY THE CEO
