Information about Schedule O (Form 990 or 990-EZ) and its instructions is at| Return Reference | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Form 990, Page 1, Line A: | The Kennedy Center keeps its books and computes its income on the basis of a 52-53 week tax year. The 52-53 week tax year always ends on the Sunday nearest to the last calendar day in September. The tax year reporting herein represents the period from September 29, 2014, through September 27, 2015, a 52 week tax year. Under Section 441 of the Internal Revenue code, the Kennedy Center made an initial election to use a 52-53 week tax year in its 2006 Form 990. However, when the Internal Revenue Service responded to the Kennedy Center's request, it notified the Kennedy Center that it cannot accept a 52-53 week election for an exempt organization. Accordingly, and to ensure that the Internal Revenue Service would accept the Kennedy Center's current return, the Kennedy Center changed the dates of its reporting period from the aforementioned dates to the period October 1, 2014, through September 30, 2015. |
| Part VI, 11b - Organization's Process to Review Form 990 | Prior to providing the Form 990 (return) to members of the Board of Trustees for their review and consideration, a detailed review was performed by the President, Chief Financial Officer, Controller, General Counsel and various other members of senior management. The return was also reviewed by an independent accounting firm. After the return was finalized, management provided it to each Trustee via e-mail/website prior to filing the return with the Internal Revenue Service. Questions, if any, were directed to and addressed by the Controller and communicated to the Audit Committee. Responses to notable questions were provided to all Trustees for their information. |
| Part VI, Line 12c - Enforcement of Conflicts Policy | The conflict of interest policy (policy) applies to all members of the Board of Trustees (Board), key and other employees that have authority to sign contracts totaling $25,000 or more and/or have the power to influence a transaction between the Kennedy Center and another organization (collectively "covered individuals"). The policy covers transactions between the Kennedy Center and (a) a covered individual, (b) his or her familiy members and/or (c) an affiliated entity. To assist the Kennedy Center in identifying transactions where there may be an actual or perceived conflict of interest, each covered individual shall complete and sign an annual conflict of interest declaration (declaration) and shall, as necessary, update the declaration to reflect any changes during the course of the year. Declarations completed by the Trustees are reveiwed by the Audit Committee. Declarations completed by non-Trustee covered individuals are reviewed by the General Counsel. When a Trustee becomes aware of a conflict, he or she has the duty to immediately disclose the existence and circumstances of the conflict to the Board Chair (if a conflict were to involve the Board Chair, the existence and circumstance of the conflict would be disclosed to either the Audit Committee or the General Counsel). When a non-Trustee covered individual becomes aware of a conflict, he or she has the duty to immediately disclose the existence and circumstances of the conflict to the General Counsel (if a conflict were to involve the General Counsel, the existence and circumstance of the conflict would be disclosed to the Audit Committee). The affected covered individual must (a) refrain from using his or her personal influence to encourage the Kennedy Center to enter into/not enter into the transaction and (b) physically excuse himself or herself from participation in any discussions regarding the transaction, except to respond to requests for information. If a conflict is either disclosed in a declaration to the Board Chair, Audit Committee or General Counsel, it will be reviewed by either the Audit Committee or General Counsel. During the Audit Committee's (or General Counsel's) review, it will consider whether, absent the participation of the affected covered individual, any proposed conflict is fair and reasonable to the Kennedy Center. The Audit Committee (or General Counsel) will maintain such documentation as may be necessary and appropriate to document the review of the conflict and will report to the Board on conflicts (whether approved or not). The Audit Committee may seek advice from the General Counsel or from outside advisors (the General Counsel may also seek advice from outside advisors). Such advice will generally be in connection with either the review of any conflict or with the administration of the policy. |
| Part VI, Line 15a - Compensation Process for Top Official | THE COMPENSATION OF THE KENNEDY CENTER'S PRESIDENT IS EVALUATED BY THE HUMAN RESOURCES COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD. THE COMMITTEE'S CONSIDERATION OF THE PRESIDENT'S COMPENSATION INCLUDED THE REVIEW OF COMPARABILITY DATA, RECOMMENDATIONS OF AN INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT AND THE CONTEMPORANEOUS SUBSTANTIATION OF THE DELIBERATION AND DECISION. |
| Part VI, Line 15b - Compensation Process for Officers | The compensation of the Kennedy Center's officers and key employees is evaluated by the Human Resources Committee of the Board. The Committee's consideration of the officers' and key employees' compensation included the review of comparability data and the contemporaneous substantiation of the deliberation and decision. |
