Identifier	Return Reference	Explanation
SchC_P2B_S00_L01	Schedule C, Part II-B, Line 1	The Society receives a majority of its funding from the State of Minnesota. As a result, there are activities that are performed that may be construed as lobbying activities. The Society maintains a presence on the world wide web. Included on our website is a webpage dedicated to legislative updates with regards to the Society's state appropriations. This webpage may at times encourage the public and the Society's members to contact their legislators on behalf of the Society in support of our appropriations and any pending legislation that is before the Minnesota Legislature. Our website includes an email program that helps constituents to directly contact their legislators. In addition the Society employs a Director of Public Policy and Community Relations whose primary function is to act in an administrative capacity in providing budgetary information to the State of Minnesota and to act as a legislative liaison. At times this position may have direct contact with members of the legislative body or the public in a manner such that the activity could be construed as lobbying. Contract personnel may be hired during the legislative session. Some of the work performed by the contract employee(s) may also at times be construed as lobbying. The Society also organizes a one day rally at the State of Minnesota Capitol building to encourage the public and our members to meet their legislators and to promote the support of the Minnesota Historical Society. Lastly, the Society has employed a lobbying firm to represent the Minnesota Historical Society at the Minnesota State Legislature. Lobbying activities represent an insignificant amount of the Society's annual operating expenses.

Identifier	Return Reference	Explanation
SchD_P02_S00_L09	Schedule D, Part II, Line 9	The reporting of conservation easements reported by the Minnesota Historical Society (MNHS) relates to actions MNHS undertakes with respect to properties that MNHS monitors as the agent for the State of Minnesota's Historic Preservation Office. The MNHS undertakes such efforts with the following two categories of properties: 1) those transferred by the MNHS or another State of Minnesota agency to a third party (not itself, the state or a state agency) subject to a restriction enforceable by the State of Minnesota's Historic Preservation Office that the property will retain and have ensured its long-term historic preservation as a National Register Property; and 2) those owned by an entity who has received federal grant funding in favor of improvements on the property subject to the requirement that a conservation easement be granted to the State of Minnesota Historic Preservation Office (for a specified time period) as a condition of such federal grant funding. These easements are not recorded in the revenue and expense statement or on the balance sheet or in the audited financial statements footnotes due to the fact that MNHS does not have a financial interest in these properties. In both of the above categories, MNHS undertakes and conducts a monitoring role to ensure the continued preservation of the property's historical significance and character.
SchD_P03_S00_L01	Schedule D, Part III, Line 1	The Society's collection of artifacts, documents, newspapers, pictures, paintings, tapes and books is not capitalized because donated values are not readily determinable. Items purchased for the collection are expensed as acquired.
SchD_P03_S00_L04	Schedule D, Part III, Line 4	The Society's collection of artifacts, historic sites, documents, newspapers, pictures, paintings, tapes and books preserve the evidence of Minnesota's past. The collections support the work of the Society's programs and provide value to people interested in their history.
SchD_P05_S00_L04	Schedule D, Part V, Line 4	The Society's endowment consists of approximately 128 individual funds established for a variety of purposes including both donor-restricted endowment funds and funds designated by the Board of Trustees to function as endowments. Net assets associated with endowment funds, including funds designated by the Board of Trustees to function as endowments, are classified and reported based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions.
SchD_P10_S00_L02	Schedule D, Part X, Line 2	The Society has received a determination letter indicating that it is exempt from federal and state income tax as an organization described in Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and corresponding State of Minnesota Statutes. The Society monitors its activities and it considers the potential for income taxes if any activities are not related to its exempt purpose. The Society engages in activities that are considered unrelated to its exempt purpose. These activities are subject to federal and state income taxes. However, the Society has a net operating loss carry-forward available to offset future taxable income from these unrelated activities. Accordingly no federal or state tax provision is required in the current year. The net operating loss carry-forward of $173,579 begins to expire in 2021. The Society follows the financial accounting standards relating to uncertainty in income taxes. The Society had no uncertain tax positions and accordance with regulations the Society's federal and state tax returns are open for examination for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010-2012.

Historic Sites continues to preserve over 140 historic structures. Historic sites attendance was approximately 569,000 visitors for the year as we continued to develop and expand programming, such as hands-on workshops, cell phone tours, living history programs, multi-media presentations and self guided walking trails. The Society has a strategic priority addressing the major preservation and interpretive needs of its historic sites and museums, with special focus on two of the historic sites: Oliver Kelley Farm and Fort Snelling. In 2013 Historic Sites actively worked on the revitalization plans at these two historic sites as well as new programs initiatives at many others.
