| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 3 | DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, THE ORGANIZATION WAS FORCED TO MAKE SOME TEMPORARY CHANGES. ONE WAS TO CANCEL ITS MAJOR FUNDRAISING ACTIVITY, THE JAZZ & HERITAGE FESTIVAL. IT ALSO CAUSED THE CANCELLATION OF THE ORGANIZATION'S PRODUCTION OF LOCAL SMALL CULTURAL FESTIVALS, LIVE CONCERTS, AND SYMPOSIUMS. THE ORGANIZATION WAS ABLE TO CREATE, PRODUCE, AND STREAM A FEW CONCERTS. THE MAIN FOCUS SHIFTED TO AWARENESS OF STRUGGLING MUSICIANS OF THE COMMUNITY AND RAISING FUNDS TO PROVIDE AID TO MUSICIANS, PRODUCTION WORKERS, AND CULTURE BEARERS OF LOUISIANA. THE ORGANIZATION WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE OVER $900K IN SMALL GRANTS TO INDIVIDUALS THROUGHOUT LOUISIANA. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 3 | ON JANUARY 27, 2005, THE FOUNDATION ENTERED INTO A PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT AND FINANCING AGREEMENT BETWEEN TWO COMPANIES, FESTIVAL PRODUCTIONS LOUISIANA, LLC AND AEG LOUISIANA PRODUCTION, LLC, COLLECTIVELY THE PRODUCERS, TO PRODUCE AND MANAGE THE NEW ORLEANS JAZZ AND HERITAGE FESTIVAL. THE AGREEMENT INCLUDES TWO EXTENSION PERIODS OF FIVE YEARS OR LONGER AS A RESULT OF AN OPTION FOR A SUCCESSIVE ONE YEAR EXTENSION AS A RESULT OF SPECIALLY CANCELLED FESTIVALS, AS DEFINED IN THE AGREEMENT. THE CURRENT EXPIRATION DATE OF THE AGREEMENT IS JANUARY 27, 2025. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 4 | NEW ORLEANS JAZZ AND HERITAGE FESTIVAL AND FOUNDATION, INC. WAS INCORPORATED IN 1970. APART FROM AN AMENDMENT IN 1971 AND A CHANGE IN NAME IN 2005, THE ORGANIZATION HAS NOT AMENDED ITS ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION IN THE FIFTY YEARS SINCE THE ORGANIZATION'S INCEPTION. IN 2020, THE ORGANIZATION RETAINED NEW COUNSEL THAT RECOMMENDED UPDATING THE ARTICLES AND BYLAWS. THE CHANGES WERE MADE PRIMARILY TO CLARIFY PROCEDURAL AMBIGUITIES AND REFLECT MORE MODERN LANGUAGE. ONE SIGNIFICANT CHANGE TO THESE DOCUMENTS WAS TO REMOVE CONFLICTING LANGUAGE ON HOW TO AMEND THE CHARTER. THE OTHER SIGNIFICANT CHANGE WAS TO UPDATE THE LANGUAGE ON THE INUREMENT PROHIBITION FOR BOARD MEMBERS TO MATCH THE SAMPLE LANGUAGE IN IRS PUBLICATION 557 APPENDIX A. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B | THE DIRECTOR OF FINANCE REVIEWS THE COMPLETE IRS FORM 990 FOR ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS.

| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C | STAFF, PRODUCERS, AND BOARD MEMBERS ARE REQUIRED TO DISCLOSE THE EXISTENCE OF ANY FINANCIAL INTEREST IN ANY TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT OF THE CORPORATION. THERE IS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST COMMITTEE THAT WILL CONVENE A MEETING TO DISCUSS WHETHER THERE IS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST WHEN A MATTER IS PUT BEFORE THEM. STAFF MAKE PERIODIC REVIEWS OF CONTRACTS AND COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS TO ENSURE THE ARM'S LENGTH ARRANGEMENT DOES NOT JEOPARDIZE ITS TAX-EXEMPT STATUS. IF THE COMMITTEE DETERMINES THAT A CONFLICT OF INTEREST EXISTS, THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS MAY, IF APPROPRIATE, APPOINT A DISINTERESTED PERSON OR COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT. AFTER EXERCISING DUE DILIGENCE, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS SHALL DETERMINE WHETHER THE CORPORATION CAN OBTAIN WITH REASONABLE EFFORTS A TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT THAT IS EQUALLY ADVANTAGEOUS TO THE CORPORATION, OR MORE ADVANTAGEOUS TO THE CORPORATION, THAT WOULD NOT GIVE RISE TO A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. IF A TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT THAT IS EQUALLY ADVANTAGEOUS TO THE CORPORATION, OR MORE ADVANTAGEOUS TO THE CORPORATION, IS NOT REASONABLY AVAILABLE TO THE CORPORATION UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES, THE BOARD SHALL DETERMINE BY A MAJORITY VOTE OF THE DISINTERESTED BOARD MEMBERS WHETHER THE TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT IS IN THE CORPORATIONS' BEST INTEREST, WHETHER IT IS FAIR AND REASONABLE. IN CONFORMITY WITH THE ABOVE DETERMINATION, IT SHALL DECIDE BY MAJORITY VOTE WHETHER TO ENTER INTO THE TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT. THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD MEETING SHALL CONTAIN A BRIEF STATEMENT OF ANY ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT CONSIDERED AND A RECORD OF ANY VOTES TAKEN IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROCEEDINGS. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15 | THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE EVALUATES THE PERFORMANCE OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. AN INCREASE IS GIVEN BASED ON PERFORMANCE EVALUATION. THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR EVALUATES ALL KEY STAFF AND ASSESSES INCREASES BASED ON PERFORMANCE EVALUATION AND COST OF LIVING. |
