Return Reference	Explanation
Schedule C, Part II-B, Line 1	The MNHS receives a majority of its funding from the State of Minnesota. As a result there are activitities that are performed that may be construed as lobbying activities. The MNHS maintains a presence on the world wide web. Included on our website is a webpage dedicated to legislative updates, the status of our appropriations, and at times a call to members and the public to contact their local legislators in support of MNHS' appropriations a/o pending legislations. Our website includes a program that allows the public to search and directly contact their representatives and other state leaders. In FY 19 MNHS spent $6,000, as reported in Part II-B, line 1(i), on programs to contact legislators. In addition, the MNHS 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 legislative liason as needed. 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 at times provide the same service. The MNHS has employed a lobbying firm to represent MNHS at the Minnesota State Legislature for specific legislation. Lobbying activities represent an insignificant amount of MNHS' annual operating expenditures. Of the total listed in Part II-B, line 1(g), $50,000 represents fees paid to an outside lobbying firm for specific legislation.

Return Reference	Explanation
Schedule D, Part II, Line 9	The reporting of conservation easements by the MNHS relates to actions MNHS undertakes with respect to properties that MNHS monitors as the agent of 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 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; 2) those owned by an entity who has received federal grant funding in favor of improvements on the property subject to the requirements that a conservation easement be granted to the State 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 statement's footnotes due to the fact that the 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. At the end of fiscal year 2018 the State Historic Preservation Office was officially transferred from the MNHS to the State of Minnesota. The MNHS and the State of Minnesota are currently coordinating and working out which entity will perform the function of monitoring these conservation easements.
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.
Schedule D, Part III, Line 4	The MNHS' 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 MNHS' public programs and provide value to people interested in their history.
Schedule D, Part V, Line 4	The endowment funds of MNHS support the institutions mission by providing support for public programs, care and operations of our historic sites, research, collections and general operations. The Society's endowment consists of approximately 167 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.
Schedule D, Part X, Line 2	The Society engages in activities that are considered as unrelated to its exempt purpose and these activities are subject to federal and state income taxes. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, the Society estimated $58,000, as its unrelated business income taxes and accordingly, has made provision for the taxes.
Schedule D, Part XI, Line 2d	Cost of goods sold expense as reported in Part VIII, line 10b.
Schedule D, Part XII, Line 2d	Cost of goods sold expense as reported in Part VIII, line 10b.

Explanation

Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a

As part of her nine month employment contract to serve as Acting Chief Financial Officer, Cynthia Williamson received a housing allowance. She was not a Minnesota resident, her employment contract provided for moving expenses and a housing allowance for the length of her employment. The housing allowance for Cynthia Williamson was not taxable compensation, as she was employed and located in Minnesota less than one year. Her moving expenses were treated as taxable compensation.

Schedule J, Part I, Line 4

Director and Chief Executive Officer, D. Stephen Elliott, as part of his original employment contract, accrues an additional annual deferred compensation amount that is placed in a supplemental non-qualified retirement plan. In calendar year 2016 D. Stephen Elliott became fully vested in the plan, and as such all vested amounts were paid to him and reflected on our 2016 Form 990, Schedule J, as compensation. Going forward, the annual payment for the additional deferred compensation will be treated as W-2 compensation and is reported on Schedule J, Part II (B)(iii) W-2 Other Reportable Compensation. For calenday year 2018 the amount included in Other Reportable Compensation that represents payment under a non-qualified plan is $21,559. D. Stephen Elliott retired and terminated employment during calendar year 2018. This will be the last calendar year to report his non-qualified compensation. Also, former Key Employee and Deputy Director, Andrea Kajer, listed in Part VII, terminated employment on 12/31/18. Her severance package was not paid out until calendar year 2019, which is why it is not reported in Part VII or here in Schedule J.
