| Form 990, Part III, Line 1 | The Museum of Modern Art is a private, nonprofit institution chartered by the State of New York in 1929 to foster public awareness of modern and contemporary art. In pursuit of this goal, the Museum has collected over 175,000 works of art, including works of paintings, sculpture, drawing, printmaking, photography, film, media, performance, architecture, and industrial and graphic design. The Museum also operates a publishing program, conducts an extensive educational program, and maintains a major library and archives. Its exhibitions are circulated nationally and internationally. The Museum's primary sources of support are admissions fees and membership dues, grants from individuals, foundations, and corporations, endowment income and revenue from retail sales of Museum related products. The Museum is managed by a Board of Trustees, consisting of 42 voting members. A Director and an administrative and curatorial staff oversee its operations and implement policy set by the board. Each year the Museum acquires through donation or purchase, in each of its curatorial departments, numerous works for its permanent collection. Acknowledged worldwide for its collection of 20th and 21st century art, the Museum has been instrumental in introducing the art of this period into the mainstream of modern life. The range of the museum's program of temporary exhibitions extends from retrospective studies of the work of major modern and contemporary artists to examinations of the cultural and aesthetic contexts of major historical moments, and also supports the work of less well known living artists through continuing exhibitions to review the latest trends in contemporary art. The Museum's programs are organized through six curatorial and a number of curatorial support departments. The curatorial support departments include collection care, collection exhibition technology, conservation, exhibition administration, exhibition design and production, film operations and preservation, imaging, outgoing loans, provenance, and registrar. In addition, the quality and depth of the Museum's collection enable the Museum to maintain an extensive loan program, which serves institutions both in the United States and abroad. Each year the Museum lends numerous works beyond those exhibited in its own galleries. The Museum was founded in 1929 as an educational institution and maintains a vast breadth of educational programming, which increased in the years after the opening of the renovated and expanded main facility in 2004. An estimated 100,000 individuals participate in targeted educational programs on and off site each year, and all Museum visitors have access to many forms of educational resources that complement the collection and exhibitions. These resources include information labels public tours and audio tours in seven languages as well as visual description tours for the blind and partially sighted and others with disabilities. The Education Center provides a central location for a wide array of educational resources including three classrooms, a theater, a publicly accessible library, an archive reading room, and three curatorial study centers. Educational programs take place throughout the week. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 | The Museum's Board of Trustees includes two members from the same family - David Rockefeller, who is not a voting trustee and David Rockefeller, Jr. , who is a voting trustee. Two Trustees of the Museum have direct or indirect financial interests in Top of the Rock, an observation deck in Rockefeller Center. The Museum has an agreement with Top of the Rock, LLC which provides for each of the Museum and Top of the Rock to sell "combo packages" of admission tickets at a discount, to each of the Museum and Top of the Rock. In addition, these Trustees also have direct and indirect interests together in entities that own real estate investment properties around the world. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 4 | In September 2014, the Museum amended it's bylaws. Some of the principal changes impacted the membership structure of the board, raised the maximum number of trustees, and affected the composition of the governance committees. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b | The Museum's form 990 is drafted by the Museum's Controller's Office with input from many Museum departments. It is then reviewed by Museum senior staff including the Director, the Chief Operating officer, the Chief Financial Officer, and the General Counsel, as well as by external tax advisors. The 990 is then presented to the Museum's Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees for review and approval. A copy of the 990 is provided to each member for the Board of Trustees electronically or in printed copy prior to filing the return. The 990 is available to the public through the Museum's website www.moma.org. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c | On an annual basis, the Museum distributes its Code of Conduct to all Trustees and designated employees and requires that Conflict of Interest Questionnaires be completed and returned for initial review by the Office of the General Counsel and the Director of Human Resources respectively. Amongst other things, the Conflict of Interest Questionnaire requires the responder: confirm that he or she has read and understands the Code of Conduct, agree to abide by it, identify whether he or she or a family member has any relationship with the Museum that may represent a conflict of interest as defined by the Code and report any knowledge of a transaction which should be reported under the Code, etc. When potential employee conflicts of interest are reported or identified, when necessary, an investigation is conducted to determine the facts and circumstances and recommendation of action, if warranted. Such action may include, but is not limited to, prohibiting the individual from participating in deliberations and decisions regarding the transaction in question, or taking disciplinary action, which in appropriate circumstances may include suspension or termination. The employee's supervisor is notified of an employee with identified conflicts and the action to be taken, if any. When potential Trustee conflicts of interest are reported or identified, the General Counsel's office makes a report to a committee of the Board of Trustees with a recommendation for action, if warranted, including but not limited to disclose to the Board of Trustees, prohibiting the Trustee from participating in and/or voting on the transaction in question, resignation from the Board of Trustees, etc. The Code of Conduct further provides that the committee make a recommendation to the Chairman of the Board for decision by the Board. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 | The process for determining the compensation for the Museum Director and certain key employees includes reviews and approval by the Board of Trustees' Compensation Subcommittee of the Executive Committee (the "committee") a committee of the governing body consisting of independent trustees, and not including the Director or other staff members. In making its determination, the Committee obtains and reviews comparability data with respect to compensation levels paid for comparable job positions obtained through the assistance of an expert compensation consultant which, in appropriate instances, includes survey data regarding compensation levels paid by similarly situated organizations for comparable employment positions, form 990 data from other leading museums and cultural and education institutions, as well as for profit institutions which may be interested in recruiting the Museum staff. The determination, deliberation and decisions made by the Committee are contemporaneously substantiated and documented in minutes of the meeting which include the Committee members present and participation, the compensation terms approved, the data relied upon and how it was obtained. The Committee periodically meets and reviews, the last meeting was held in December 2015. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 | The Museum's governing documents are available for review. Conflict of Interest policy, Code of Conduct policy, prior years Audited Financial Statements and prior years 990 are available to the public through the Museum's website www.moma.org. |
| Form 990, Part VIII, Line 7a | Included in inventory sales is $18,691,034 related to sales of works of art. The remaining portion reflected a gain on the sale of development rights of $89,311,955 from a developer over undeveloped Museum property to construct a building adjacent to the Museum. The Museum retained certain development rights that will be used to add gallery space on several floors within the building when construction is completed. The Museum and the developer completed the sale of the additional development rights over the undeveloped property in September 2014, at which point the developer paid the Museum the remaining $62,000,000 (previous deposits have been shown in deferred revenue) to complete the transaction, for total proceeds of approximately $116,000,000. At the time of closing, all consideration affecting a sale had been exchanged between the parties and the Museum surrendered title of the development rights to the developer. |
