Facts And Circumstances Test
PURSUANT TO TREASURY REGULATION 1.170A-9(F)(3), THE ORGANIZATION SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A PUBLICLY SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION BECAUSE IT MEETS THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST AS OUTLINED BELOW.TEN-PERCENT-OF-SUPPORT REQUIREMENT. PEABODY ESSEX MUSEUM (SOMETIMES REFERRED TO AS "PEM") SATISFIES THIS REQUIREMENT BECAUSE THE PERCENTAGE OF SUPPORT RECEIVED FROM GOVERNMENTAL UNITS, FROM CONTRIBUTIONS MADE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC, OR FROM A COMBINATION OF THESE SOURCES EXCEEDS 10% OF TOTAL SUPPORT. ATTRACTION OF PUBLIC SUPPORT REQUIREMENT. THE PEABODY ESSEX MUSEUM IS AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN ORGANIZED AND OPERATED IN A MANNER TO ATTRACT NEW AND BROAD-BASED PUBLIC AND GOVERNMENTAL SUPPORT ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS. A STAFF OF SEVENTEEN DEVELOPMENT PROFESSIONALS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CONDUCTING EXTENSIVE AND VARIED FORMS OF FUNDRAISING DESIGNED TO ATTRACT SUPPORT FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC, GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES, CORPORATIONS AND FOUNDATIONS. THE ACTIVITIES CONDUCTED INCLUDE SOLICITATIONS COMMUNICATED THROUGH VARIOUS MEANS EMAIL, MAIL, PHONE AND IN-PERSON. FUNDRAISING EVENTS ARE CONDUCTED TO GENERATE ANNUAL SUPPORT AS WELL AS TO FOSTER RELATIONSHIPS THAT LEAD TO FUTURE GIVING. THE INSTITUTIONAL GIVING STAFF IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SEEKING SUPPORT FOR THE MUSEUM'S MAJOR PROGRAMMATIC EFFORTS BY PRODUCING GRANT PROPOSALS DIRECTED TO BOTH GOVERNMENTAL AND NON-GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES. ACROSS ALL OF THESE FUNDRAISING AREAS, MORE THAN 50,500 PROSPECTS AND EXISTING DONORS WERE SOLICITED FOR SUPPORT DURING 2013, RESULTING IN MORE THAN 9,200 GIFTS COMING FROM 8,251 DIFFERENT DONORS. OTHER PUBLIC SUPPORT FACTORS 1. PERCENTAGE OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT FACTOR. THE MUSEUM'S PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE FOR 2013 IS 29.87%, WHICH IS WELL ABOVE THE 10% TEST THRESHOLD. AS THE MUSEUM IS CURRENTLY IN THE MIDST OF A MAJOR CAPITAL CAMPAIGN, INDIVIDUAL SOLICITATIONS AND GIFTS TEND TO BE LARGER THAN WOULD BE EXPECTED DURING A NON-CAMPAIGN PERIOD WITH THE RESULTING IMPACT OF LOWERING THE PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE. 2. SOURCES OF SUPPORT FACTOR. THE COLLECTIONS OF THE PEABODY ESSEX MUSEUM HAVE BEEN PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE FOR 214 YEARS, WHICH RANKS IT AMONG THE FIRST AMERICAN MUSEUMS TO HAVE SUCH A PUBLIC MANDATE. THE PEABODY ESSEX MUSEUM TRACES ITS ORIGINS TO 1799 WHEN A GROUP OF SALEM-BASED, INTERNATIONAL, SEA-GOING BUSINESS LEADERS WERE AMONG THE FIRST AMERICANS TO DEVELOP TRADING RELATIONSHIPS WITH COUNTRIES IN ASIA, AFRICA, OCEANIA AND BEYOND. THESE EARLY AMERICAN ENTREPRENEURS BROUGHT BACK MAGNIFICENT ART AND ARTIFACTS FROM THE CULTURES THEY ENCOUNTERED AND WERE EAGER TO SHARE WHAT THEY HAD DISCOVERED WITH THE LARGER PUBLIC. ALTHOUGH MORE THAN 200 YEARS HAVE PASSED, THE MUSEUM'S COMMITMENT TO SERVING THE INTERESTS OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC IS AS STRONG AS EVER. THE MUSEUM'S COLLECTIONS ARE AMONG THE FINEST OF THEIR KIND AND ENCOMPASS AN UNRIVALED SPECTRUM OF CULTURES AND GENRE, INCLUDING AMERICAN ART AND ARCHITECTURE, AMERICAN DECORATIVE ART, MARITIME ART, NATIVE AMERICAN ART, ASIAN ART AND ARCHITECTURE, ASIAN EXPORT ART, AFRICAN ART, OCEANIC ART, PHOTOGRAPHY AND CONTEMPORARY ART. IN ADDITION, THE MUSEUM OPERATES THE PHILLIPS LIBRARY, ONE OF THE NATION'S MOST IMPORTANT MUSEUM-BASED COLLECTIONS OF RARE BOOKS AND MANUSCRIPTS. THE BREADTH OF THE MUSEUM'S COLLECTIONS AND OFFERINGS IS UNQUESTIONABLY VARIED, SO THAT IT IS CAPABLE OF APPEALING TO A WIDE VARIETY OF INTERESTS, WHICH IN TURN HELPS TO BUILD ATTENDANCE, COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION, COMMITMENT AND PHILANTHROPIC SUPPORT. IN RECENT YEARS, THE MUSEUM HAS CONTINUED TO EXPAND ITS FIELDS OF INTEREST; FOR EXAMPLE, CONTEMPORARY ART WAS ADDED AS NEW CURATORIAL DEPARTMENT IN 2009. CONTEMPORARY ART, IN PARTICULAR, IS ONE AVENUE FOR ENGAGING YOUNGER PEOPLE, THEREBY HELPING TO DEVELOP THE NEXT GENERATION OF INSTITUTIONAL LEADERS AND SUPPORTERS. BY EXPANDING THE PROGRAMMATIC SCOPE, THE MUSEUM HAS DEMONSTRATED ITS COMMITMENT TO PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR CONNECTING WITH A LARGER NUMBER OF PEOPLE, RATHER THAN LIMITING ITS APPEAL TO A FEW. AS NOTED PREVIOUSLY, THE MUSEUM RECEIVED SUPPORT FROM 8,251 DIFFERENT DONORS DURING 2013. 3. REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNING BODY FACTOR. DURING 2013, 23 INDIVIDUALS SERVED ON PEM'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES. ALL OF THE TRUSTEES ARE INDEPENDENT VOTING MEMBERS AND REPRESENT A BROAD CROSS-SECTION OF VIEWS AND INTERESTS. AMONG THE MUSEUM'S TRUSTEES ARE INDIVIDUALS REPRESENTING DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES, FROM A LOCAL COMMUNITY LEADER IN SALEM TO REPRESENTATIVES OF THE INDIAN COMMUNITIES, BOTH IN THE UNITED STATES AND IN INDIA. PEM'S BOARD INCLUDES INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE THEMSELVES COLLECTORS AND/OR EXPERTS IN DIFFERENT AREAS OF ART, INCLUDING JAPANESE ART, RARE LIBRARY MATERIALS, AND DUTCH AND FLEMISH ART. TWO TRUSTEES HAVE BEEN INVOLVED DIRECTLY IN OPERATING MUSEUMS ONE AS A FORMER CURATOR AND ONE WHO OVERSEES A MUSEUM FOR CONTEMPORARY ART. SEVERAL MEMBERS OF THE MUSEUM'S BOARD HAVE INTERESTS AND EXPERIENCE WITHIN THE FIELD OF EDUCATION, INCLUDING THE CURRENT NATIONAL PRESIDENT OF THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF UNIVERSITY WOMEN, A FORMER UNIVERSITY EDUCATOR, A MUSEUM DOCENT, AND AN INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBLE FOR ESTABLISHING AND OPERATING A FOUNDATION DEVOTED TO SUPPORTING K-12 EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVES. VARIOUS AREAS OF TECHNICAL EXPERTISE ARE ALSO REPRESENTED BY NUMEROUS BOARD MEMBERS, INCLUDING SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE OF REAL ESTATE, BUSINESS, JOURNALISM, LAW, INVESTING, LAND PROTECTION AND PRESERVATION. 4. AVAILABILITY OF PUBLIC FACILITIES OR SERVICES FACTOR. DURING 2013, THE PEABODY ESSEX MUSEUM REPORTED ALMOST 222,000 ON-SITE VISITORS, COMING FROM BOTH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY AND FROM AROUND THE WORLD. THE MAIN MUSEUM GALLERIES ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC SIX DAYS PER WEEK, WHICH REPRESENTS ALMOST 2,200 HOURS ANNUALLY DURING WHICH THE PUBLIC HAS ACCESS TO THE VARIOUS COLLECTIONS AND PROGRAMS THAT ARE OFFERED. TO ENCOURAGE ENGAGEMENT WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY AND WITH STUDENTS, ADMISSION IS FREE FOR RESIDENTS OF SALEM, MASSACHUSETTS AND FOR YOUTH UNDER THE AGE OF SEVENTEEN. THE MUSEUM'S CAMPUS ALSO INCLUDES NUMEROUS PARKS AND GARDENS, AND 24 HISTORIC PROPERTIES, INCLUDING YIN YU TANG, THE ONLY EXAMPLE OF CHINESE DOMESTIC ARCHITECTURE ON DISPLAY IN THE UNITED STATES. PEM'S PHILLIPS LIBRARY, WHICH IS ONE OF THE OLDEST AND LARGEST RESEARCH LIBRARIES IN NEW ENGLAND, IS ALSO AVAILABLE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC, SCHOLARS AND RESEARCHERS. ACROSS THE CAMPUS, THERE IS 123,000 SQUARE FEET OF PUBLIC EXHIBITION SPACE FOR USE IN DISPLAYING AND INTERPRETING THE MUSEUM'S VAST COLLECTIONS AND FOR PRESENTING CHANGING EXHIBITIONS, OF WHICH THERE WERE EIGHT OPENED DURING 2013. ANNUALLY, THE MUSEUM'S DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND INTERPRETATION CONDUCTS HUNDREDS OF PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO ADVANCE ARTS LEARNING AND APPRECIATION. ALTHOUGH THESE PROGRAMS ARE DELIVERED IN MANY SPACES THROUGHOUT THE CAMPUS, THE MUSEUM HAS DEDICATED 13,000 SQUARE FEET SPECIFICALLY FOR THESE PURPOSES. THE WIDE ARRAY OF PROGRAMS OFFERED IS DESIGNED TO ATTRACT AND ENGAGE VISITORS OF ALL AGES WITH DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS, KNOWLEDGE, INTERESTS, PREFERENCES AND NEEDS. IN AN EFFORT TO ENSURE THAT A BROAD AUDIENCE IS SERVED, THE MUSEUM FOCUSES ON SEVERAL BROAD AUDIENCE CATEGORIES: K-12 STUDENTS, TEACHERS, FAMILIES AND ADULTS FROM COLLEGE AGE THROUGH SENIOR CITIZENS.

Return Reference Explanation
PART III, LINE 1A: THE COLLECTIONS, WHICH WERE ACQUIRED THROUGH PURCHASES AND CONTRIBUTIONS SINCE THE MUSEUM'S INCEPTION, ARE NOT RECOGNIZED AS ASSETS ON THE STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION. PURCHASES OF COLLECTION ITEMS ARE RECORDED AS DECREASES IN UNRESTRICTED NET ASSETS IN THE YEAR IN WHICH THE ITEMS ARE ACQUIRED. PROCEEDS FROM DEACCESSIONS OR INSURANCE RECOVERIES ARE REFLECTED AS INCREASES IN THE APPROPRIATE NET ASSET CLASSES.
PART III, LINE 4: THE PEABODY ESSEX MUSEUM (THE MUSEUM) PRESENTS ART AND CULTURE FROM NEW ENGLAND AND AROUND THE WORLD. THE MUSEUM'S COLLECTIONS ARE AMONG THE FINEST OF THEIR KIND, SHOWCASING AN UNRIVALED SPECTRUM OF AMERICAN ART AND ARCHITECTURE (INCLUDING FOUR NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK BUILDINGS) AND OUTSTANDING ASIAN, ASIAN EXPORT, NATIVE AMERICAN, AFRICAN, OCEANIC, MARITIME, CONTEMPORARY AND PHOTOGRAPHY COLLECTIONS.

IF A TAX POSITION OR POSITIONS ARE DEEMED TO RESULT IN UNCERTAINTIES OF THOSE POSITIONS, THE UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFIT IS ESTIMATED BASED ON A "CUMULATIVE PROBABILITY ASSESSMENT" THAT AGGREGATES THE ESTIMATED TAX LIABILITY FOR ALL UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS. INTEREST AND PENALTIES ASSESSED, IF ANY, ARE ACCRUED AS INCOME TAX EXPENSE. THE MUSEUM HAS IDENTIFIED ITS STATUS AS A PUBLICLY SUPPORTED TAX EXEMPT ENTITY AND ITS CLASSIFICATION OF REVENUES AS RELATED OR UNRELATED AS ITS ONLY SIGNIFICANT POSITIONS AND HAS DETERMINED THAT SUCH POSITIONS DO NOT RESULT IN AN UNCERTAINTY REQUIRING RECOGNITION. THE MUSEUM'S FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAX RETURNS ARE GENERALLY OPEN FOR EXAMINATION FOR THE THREE YEARS AFTER THE DATE OF FILING OF THE RELATED RETURN.
