Facts And Circumstances Test

Return Reference	Explanation
Schedule A, Part II, Line 17a TEN PERCENT FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST 2015 EXPLANATION	Conner Prairie Museum ("CPM") was formed as an Indiana nonprofit corporation on September 1, 2005. CPM, an affiliate of the Smithsonian Museum, was organized to own, operate, and manage the Conner Prairie Museum, which provides educational programs in Fishers, Indiana. In 2005, CPM submitted Form 1023, Application for Recognition of Exemption ("CPM's 1023"), and based on CPM's 1023, the Internal Revenue Service ("Service") issued a determination letter recognizing CPM as an organization described in Code Section 501(c)(3) and as a public charity by virtue of Code Sections 509(a)(1) and 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) ("CPM's Determination Letter"). CPM has been organized and operating since 2005. CPM's organizational purposes and operations have not changed in any material respect since CPM's 1023 was submitted and it received its determination letter. As detailed more fully below, during this time, CPM has provided countless educational activities and opportunities to the residents of Central Indiana and beyond, providing hands on experiences for both children and adults alike. To ensure these opportunities are able to continue in perpetuity, CPM has been dedicated to obtaining public support for these operations. Despite these efforts, CPM's public support over the past five years did not exceed one-third (1/3) of its financial support. However, the facts and circumstances clearly illustrate that CPM should continue to be classified as a publicly supported organization. Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.170A-9T(f)(3) provides that "even if an organization fails to meet the 33% public support test, it is publicly supported if it normally receives a substantial part of its support from governmental units, from contributions made directly or indirectly by the general public, or from a combination of these sources, and meets the other requirements of this paragraph (f)(3)." There are several factors that are evaluated to determine whether an entity satisfies the 10% facts and circumstances test. The services and educational opportunities that CPM provides to all who visit Conner Prairie Museum are truly remarkable. As a result, CPM enjoys broad public support from those who utilize the educational opportunities that are provided by CPM as well from donors that include individuals, corporations, foundations, municipalities, and government entities. The following details clearly illustrate that CPM qualifies as a publicly supported organization under Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.170A-9T(f)(3). During the initial five year period after receiving the CPM Determination Letter, CPM satisfied and continues to satisfy the required 10% public support test. CPM enjoys wide and significant support from individuals, corporations, foundations, municipalities, and government entities. CPM has in excess of 8,000 charitable contributors, varying in size, amount, and type of contribution. This public support is further enhanced by the revenue generated from the admission to the museum, including from students and school corporations that visit CPM during the school year. Moreover, CPM maintains an active and dedicated program to seek out all types and levels of public funding. CPM's fundraising entails a comprehensive development program that includes annual gifts, corporate sponsorships, major gifts, in-kind gifts, foundation grants, and estate gifts. A development team, consisting of an Annual Fund manager, Corporate Development Director, Grant Writer, Vice President and CDO, and President and CEO, are responsible for soliciting funding through a variety of approaches, including written corporate and grant proposals, phone solicitations, in person solicitations, letters, and special events. The development operations also include a research/database manager. This comprehensive fundraising program illustrates that CPM is organized and operated in a manner to attract new and additional public support on a continuous basis, providing additional support of its status as a publicly supported charity. Another important factor for satisfying the public support test is the type of public support received by the organization. Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.170A-9T(f)(3)(iii)(B) provides that support "from governmental units or directly or indirectly from a representative number of persons...will be taken into consideration" in determining whether an organization satisfies the public support test. CPM clearly exemplifies an organization that satisfies this standard. CPM is internationally renowned for its History Park, where individuals are able to engage, explore, and discover what it was like to live and play in Indiana's past. Accordingly, CPM enjoys broad public support. Governmental entities support CPM all throughout the school year as school corporations send their students to utilize and experience the educational opportunities offered by CPM. Many schools visit CPM to utilize and allow students to engage in the History Park. Additionally, CPM is also supported by over 280,000 individuals that visit the museum every year, further illustrating the public impact of CPM. Of the 280,000 plus individuals that visit CPM annually, approximately 60,000 are visiting as part of a school-sponsored program (students). Furthermore, CPM's commitment to being open and available to the entire public is illustrated by the fact that an entire family can obtain an annual membership pass to CPM for a little more than $100. Finally, the influence of CPM is also shown by the summer camp that it hosts on an annual basis where over 2,500 children participate each summer. The public support of CPM is also illustrated through the representative governing body of CPM. According to Treas. Reg. sec. 1.170A-9T(f)(3)(iii)(C), an organization will be viewed as being publicly supported if the "governing body...represents the broad interests of the public, rather than the personal or private interests of a limited number of donors" and where the directors "are persons having special knowledge or expertise in the particular field or discipline in which the organization is operating." To ensure CPM obtains a broad cross-section of the public, the CPM Board of Directors is authorized to have up to fifty (50) directors; currently CPM has thirty-seven (37) directors, and their biographies detailing the significant experience they each bring to the Board of Director's can be found at http://www.connerprairie.org/About-Conner-Prairie/Board-of-Directors. Moreover, to ensure that CPM has the requisite experience and knowledge to be a publicly supported organization, the requirements to be a director include, in part, that the director has "demonstrated philanthropic or non-profit interests or involvement with a substantial non-profit organization" as well as has "demonstrated ability to raise and/or make substantial gifts for the benefit of a non-profit organization." Finally, to help ensure the quality and experience CPM provides is at the highest level, each director must have "experience with a history museum and/or interest in early American history." For all these reasons, CPM's Board of Directors illustrates that CPM is a publicly supported organization. Finally, CPM's public support is illustrated by the educational activities it provides that directly benefit the public. Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.170A-9T(f)(3)(iii)(d)(1) contemplates that an organization that provides facilities or services directly for the benefit of the general public illustrates that it is a publicly supported organization, and specifically identifies a museum as an organization that satisfies this criteria. CPM is just that: a museum that provides both facilities and services directly for the benefit of the public. This is evidenced by the fact that CPM is an affiliate of the Smithsonian Museum. Not only does CPM carry out an important activity of educating individuals on the history of Indiana, but it does so in a unique and interactive manner, attracting all populations, which furthers both CPM's mission and benefit to the public. The foregoing illustrates that CPM is clearly an educational organization that is publicly supported, as defined in Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.170A-9T(f)(3).

Return Reference	Explanation
Schedule D, Part III, Line 1a Collections of art - financial statement footnote	Conner Prairie Museum, inc. maintains an extensive collection of items from 1800 to 1945 that are relevant to Central Indiana during those time periods. Due to the difficulty in establishing a value for Collections, purchases are expensed as purchased. Standard museum procedures are used in accessioning, deaccessioning, cataloging and managing objects. The museum's procedures provide a clean, safe and stable storage environment for its permanent collections. Objects used in the living history programs are given reasonable care towards continuing preservation. There were 104 and 32 deaccessions and 195 and 212 accessions in 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Schedule D, Part III, Line 4 Collections of art - description of collections	Conner Prairie Museum, Inc. is divided into several sections, all of which contain art and historical treasures. The 1863 Civil War Journey includes several buildings and displays which highlight what life was like in Indiana during the Civil War. The Porter's farm and home and the school are decorated with historic art and heirlooms from the 1800's. The cedar chapel covered bridge can be considered a historical treasure itself as it was built in the late 1800's and then moved to the museum for preservation. The 1836 Prairietown includes several buildings and displays which highlight what life was like in the early 1800's in Indiana. Dr. Campbell's home is filled with equipment and displays about early 19th-century medical procedures and practices. Barker's pottery shop has a historic kick-wheel, kiln, and many more pottery-related treasures. The Conner house and garden feature heirloom gardens and historic artwork. Many more exhibits in this section of the museum contain artwork and historical treasures. The Conner homestead has hands-on exhibits and activities to explore what life was like in 1825 . The loom house features beautiful textile looms which demonstrate how fabrics and textiles were produced many years ago. The 1859 balloon voyage displays components of one of the earliest chapters in aviation history. The 1859 Balloon Voyage is one of the most popular exhibits in the museum. All of the exhibits in the Conner Prairie Museum, Inc. further the organization's exempt purpose to educate diverse audiences about the past. Conner Prairie Museum, Inc. is focused on educating visitors about the history of Indiana. These exhibits and historical treasures are essential to that mission.
Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 Intended uses of endowment funds	THE ENDOWMENT FUNDS HELD BY CONNER PRAIRIE FOUNDATION, INC. (A RELATED ORGANIZATION) ARE to provide SUPPORT for THE PROGRAMS AND OPERATIONS OF CONNER PRAIRIE MUSEUM, INC.
Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote	The Museum is exempt from income taxes on income from related activities under Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Additionally, the Museum is considered to be a public foundation. The Museum would be subject to income tax if any unrelated business income is generated during the year. For tax reporting purposes the 1859 Balloon Voyage LLC is considered a disregarded entity of the Museum and its activities are reported as the parent organization's information. Current accounting standards require the Museum to disclose the amount of potential benefit or obligation to be realized as a result of an examination performed by a taxing authority. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, management has determined that the Museum does not have any tax positions that result in any uncertainties regarding the possible impact on the Museum's financial statements. The Museum does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next 12 months.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4a HISTORIC MUSEUM EXPERIENCE	(CONTINUED FROM PART III, LINE 4A) OUR ON-SITE GENERAL AUDIENCE OF OVER 280,000 ANNUAL VISITORS IS DRAWN LARGELY FROM CENTRAL INDIANA. APPROXIMATELY 60% OF ATTENDEES ARE YOUTH WITH THE BALANCE BEING ADULTS AND SENIORS. APPROXIMATELY 60,000 SCHOOL GROUP PARTICIPANTS VISIT THE MUSEUM EACH YEAR AND COME FROM ALMOST EVERY COUNTY IN INDIANA AND NEIGHBORING STATES; THOSE SCHOOL GROUPS FROM THE GREATER INDIANAPOLIS METROPOLITAN AREA REFLECT THE DIVERSITY WITHIN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT(S). AS A GENERAL RULE, THEREFORE, SCHOOL GROUP PARTICIPATION IS FAR MORE CULTURALLY DIVERSE THAN GENERAL ATTENDANCE. FOR THE MIDWEST, CONNER PRAIRIE IS A DESTINATION FOR FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN OF ALL AGES; IT IS A PLACE WHERE THEY CAN SUPPLEMENT OR ENHANCE IN-CLASS LEARNING, PURSUE NEW INTERESTS, AND EXPLORE NATURE, SCIENCE, ART AND HISTORY. IT IS A PLACE WHERE GRANDPARENTS CAN SHARE MEMORIES WITH GRANDCHILDREN, OR TALK ABOUT HOW BEST TO CARE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. FOR FAMILIES WITH YOUNG CHILDREN IT IS A MUCH SOUGHT AFTER DESTINATION. FOR SCHOOL TEACHERS, A PLANNED FIELD TRIP TO CONNER PRAIRIE IS ONE THAT UNFOLDS THE RICHNESS OF THE PAST WHILE ENCOURAGING INTEREST BEYOND FACTS, FIGURES AND DATES. FOR BUSINESSES, THE BEAUTY, INTEGRITY AND PROGRAMMING AT CONNER PRAIRIE IS A RECRUITING TOOL THAT HELPS SELL RECRUITS ON RELOCATING TO THE AREA, AND IS AN ASSET TO THOSE ALREADY HERE. THE PRIMARY VISITOR EXPERIENCE CURRENTLY INCLUDES FIVE DISTINCT HISTORY AREAS: 1816 LENAPE INDIAN CAMP, WILLIAM CONNER HOMESTEAD, 1836 PRAIRIETOWN, 1859 BALLOON VOYAGE, AND 1863 CIVIL WAR JOURNEY. ANOTHER OUTDOOR ATTRACTION IS THE TREETOP OUTPOST AND NATURE WALK, ALLOWING VISITORS A CLOSER LOOK AT OUR NATURAL SETTING. A MODERN WELCOME CENTER IS ALSO A MAJOR COMPONENT OF THE CONNER PRAIRIE COMPLEX. HERE, YOU WILL FIND AN EXHIBIT SPACE CALLED "CREATE.CONNECT" WHERE INDIANA'S INNOVATIVE SPIRIT IS CELEBRATED. ACROSS FROM THAT, DISCOVERY STATION AND CRAFT CORNER ALLOW KIDS AGES 8 AND YOUNGER A PLACE TO CLIMB, CRAWL, BUILD, EXPLORE, READ AND PRETEND. A PARTIAL LIST OF CONNER PRAIRIE'S SPECIAL PROGRAMMING INCLUDE GLORIOUS FOURTH (CELEBRATING THE NATION'S BIRTH CIRCA 1886), CURIOSITY FAIR (WHOS, HOWS AND WHYS OF SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING AND MATH), FESTIVAL OF MACHINES (CELEBRATING INDIANA'S RICH HISTORY OF TRANSPORTATION), FOLLOW THE NORTH STAR (AN IMMERSION PROGRAM ABOUT THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD CONDUCTED FOR SCHOOL GROUPS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC), AND HEARTHSIDE SUPPERS (AN INTIMATE DINING EXPERIENCE WITH THE GUESTS ASSISTING IN 1836 COOKING PRACTICES). ULTIMATELY, THE MUSEUM IS NOT JUST A PURVEYOR OF HISTORY, BUT CONTINUALLY STRIVES TO INSPIRE FUTURE GENERATIONS OF INQUISITIVE STUDENTS OF THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b PROCESS USED TO ESTABLISH COMPENSATION OF OTHER OFFICERS/KEY EMPLOYEES	THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT HAVE OTHER OFFICERS OR KEY EMPLOYEES THAT RECEIVE COMPENSATION; THEREFORE THIS QUESTION IS NOT APPLICABLE AND HAS BEEN ANSWERED "NO" IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FORM 990 INSTRUCTIONS. COMPENSATION OF THE HIGHEST COMPENSATED EMPLOYEES REPORTED IN PART VII (VP & CFO, AND DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCES) IS REVIEWED BY THE PRESIDENT/CEO USING COMPARABLE DATA GARNERED FROM LOCAL NON-PROFIT COMPENSATION SURVEYS AND THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF MUSEUMS (AAM) COMPENSATION SURVEY. IF COMPENSATION CHANGES ARE RECOMMENDED BY THE PRESIDENT/CEO, THE FINAL DECISIONS ARE DOCUMENTED AND REVIEWED BY THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. THIS PROCESS TOOK PLACE IN 2018.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 1a Delegate broad authority to a committee	According to the organization's bylaws, the Board of Directors may create one or more committees to assist in carrying out any of the purposes of the Corporation, define the responsibilities of such committee or committees and delegate such committee or committees those powers that the Board of Directors determines to be appropriate. The Board of Directors shall appoint the members of each committee. At least two members of each committee shall be members of the Board of Directors and, if the committee is to exercise powers of the Board of Directors, then each member appointed to the committee shall be a member of the Board of Directors. The President shall be an ex-official member of all standing committees other than committees exercising audit or executive compensation responsibilities; provided, however, that in committee action constituting the exercise of a power of the Board of Directors, the participation of the President in that action shall not be considered in determining the existence of a quorum or the vote on the action. No other person employed by the Corporation shall serve on any committee. No person having a business relationship with the Corporation, or who is employed by an entity having a business relationship with the Corporation, shall serve on a committee exercising audit or executive compensation responsibilities.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b Review of form 990 by governing body	A draft of the Form 990 is provided to each member of the audit committee for their individual review. An overview of the Form 990 is then presented to the audit committee by the paid tax return preparer and the senior management of Conner Prairie Museum, Inc. The presentation and meeting include a detailed discussion of the form 990 answering any questions posed by the members of the audit committee. After the audit committee approves the draft, copies of the Form 990, excluding Schedule B, Schedule of Contributors (which is not a required disclosure pursuant to Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 6104), are provided to every voting member of the governing body before it is filed with the IRS.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest policy	Every year, a conflict of interest questionnaire is sent to each interested person of the organization. After the questionnaires are completed, they are reviewed by the audit committee and the governance committee for potential conflicts of interest. The governance committee is comprised of board members and a staff liaison. At least one member of this committee is present at all board meetings to ensure that board members with potential conflicts abstain from participating in discussions and voting on transactions related to those potential conflicts.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management official	The Executive Compensation Committee, consisting of five Board members, conducted a performance evaluation survey of the President/CEO. The entire Board had the opportunity to rate the President/CEO and offer comments. The Committee analyzed the results of the survey, researched comparative compensation data, and made a recommendation to the Board Chair. The data was then reviewed and approved by the Chair who then presented his recommendation to the Board in an Executive Session. This process took place in 2018.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 19 Required documents available to the public	Financial statements, governing documents, and conflict of interest policies are not required disclosures pursuant to Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 6104. These documents are not available to the public at this time.
