Return Reference	Explanation
Schedule C, Part II-B, Line 1	MNHS receives a majority of its annual funding from the State of Minnesota. As a result, there are activities that are performed that may be construed as lobbying activities. MNHS maintains a presence on the world wide web, which includes a dedicated MNHS website, which then includes a webpage dedicated to legislative updates, the status of our appropriations and at times a call to our members and the public to contact their local legislators in support of MNHS' appropriations a/o pending legislation. Our website includes a program that allows the public to directly contact their representatives and other state leaders. In FY 25 MNHS spent $6,078, as reported in Part II-B, line 10(i) on the program to contact legislators. In addition, MNHS employs a Vice President of Public Policy & Government Relations whose primary function is to act in an administrative capacity in providing budgetary information to the State of Minnesota and to act as a legislative liaison 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. MNHS is also contracting with a lobbying firm to represent MNHS and its interests at the Minnesota State Capitol to help advance 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 directly to an outside lobbying firm to act on our behalf at the State Capitol.

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6	MNHS has one class of membership, which is the body of dues paying members.

The membership does not approve of significant decisions made by the governing body.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7a	Dues paying members (the membership) have the opportunity to vote on and approve the slate of candidates for Director(s) as put forth by the MNHS' Governance Committee at the MNHS' annual meeting.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8b	From the MNHS Bylaws: Article VII Section 1 - Executive Committee: The Executive Council may create an Executive Committee consisting of the officers of MNHS and not more than seven (7) other members of the Executive Council. The Executive Committee shall have charge of and transact the business of MNHS under the direction and subject to the approval of the Executive Council. The Executive Committee shall possess all powers of the Executive Council when the latter is not in session.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b	The annual tax return, IRS Form 990, is prepared internally by MNHS' Finance Department. The 990 goes through an extended internal review process within the Finance Department and depending on any concerns or emerging issues, the 990 may also go through an in depth review by an independent tax consultant, which we had done this year. Once these reviews are completed, the 990 is submitted to MNHS' Audit Committee for their review and approval. Once approved by this committee, the 990 is submitted to MNHS' Executive Council/Committee for discussion, final review and approval. Upon final approval the 990 is electronically filed with the IRS and State of Minnesota and then uploaded to MNHS' website for public disclosure.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c	All Board Members and Officers are subject to a conflict of interest policy which sets out that transactions, in which they may have a material interest are to be undertaken (if at all) only after disclosure of the conflict, notice in full to the Board of the contemplated transaction along with the nature of the conflict, and requiring action in favor of the transaction to be effected by the majority of the entirety of the Board, not including the member(s) whose interest is involved. The office of the Director & CEO is responsible for maintaining and monitoring that a new Board member(s) submit a statement of acknowledgement that they will comply in full with MNHS' code of conduct, which includes the institution's conflict of interest policy. The office of Director & CEO performs this review annually.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15	The annual compensation for the Director and Chief Executive Officer, S. Kent Whitworth, which covers the period ending 6/30/25, is governed by the overall pay plan for the organization, a performance evaluation and adhering to any terms of the written employment offer. MNHS' governing body, the Executive Committee, is responsible for the terms of the original employment contract. Their compensation review may include the use of independent consultants, MNHS Board Committees and the use of comparisons based on surveys of local comparable not-for-profit organizations.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19	MNHS' audited financial statements, IRS Form 990 and other annual reports are available to the public via our website or upon request. Governing documents and conflict of interest policy are available to the public upon request.

	Historic Sites and Museums: MNHS operates 26 historic sites and museums throughout the state that allow people to access history through programs, exhibits, and tours. More than 826,600 visitors explored MNHS sites in FY25. Mill City Museum, Minnesota History Center, and Split Rock Lighthouse were the most-visited sites. The Minnesota History Center welcomed Girlhood (It's complicated), a traveling exhibition from the Smithsonian Institution, which showed how girls have spoken up, challenged expectations, and been on the front lines of social change. In addition to the traveling exhibit, the MNHS exhibits department developed a local component focused on girls' basketball called Minnesota (where girls shoot hoops). Split Rock Lighthouse initiated a restoration project to improve accessibility and provide visitors with an enhanced experience at the historic site.
