| FORM 990, PAGE 1, ITEM C | THE JOURNEY MUSEUM |
| FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION | THE MISSION OF THE JOURNEY MUSEUM IS TO PRESERVE, EDUCATE AND EXPLORE THE HERITAGE, CULTURES AND ENVIRONMENT OF THE BLACK HILLS REGION TO UNDERSTAND OUR PAST, ENRICH OUR PRESENT AND SUSTAIN OUR FUTURE. THE VISION IS TO INSPIRE ALL AUDIENCES TO LEARN AND PLAY IN A VIBRANT AND DYNAMIC ATMOSHPHERE; CREATE WONDER AND CURIOSITY THROUGH EXHIBITS AND PROGRAMS THAT LEAD TO LIFE-LONG LEARNING; REVEAL CULTURAL, HISTORICAL, AND SCIENTIFIC CONNECTIONS TO FOSTER NEW KNOWLEDGE, APPRECIATION AND UNDERSTANDING IN OUR COMMUNITY AND ITS VISITORS. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A | THE JOURNEY MUSEUM HOUSES ARTIFACTS AND MATERIALS THAT ASSIST IN THE EDUCATION AND UNDERSTANDING OF OUR AREA'S HISTORY, HERITAGE, AND CULTURE. THE MUSEUM INCLUDES A WIDE VARIETY OF PREHISTORIC AND HISTORIC ARTIFACTS THAT TELL THE COMPLETE STORY OF THE BLACK HILLS REGION - FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE LAKOTA PEOPLE AND THE PIONEERS WHO SHAPED ITS PAST, TO THE SCIENTISTS WHO NOW STUDY IT. THE JOURNEY MUSEUM EDUCATES, SUPPORTS AND PROVIDES LEARNING AND CULTURAL AWARENESS TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND VISITORS. ACTIVITIES INCLUDE A LEARNING LAB STOCKED WITH EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS, YOUTH EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES, SCHOOL AND GROUP TOURS, AND ADULT EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS. THE JOURNEY MUSEUM SAW APPROXIMATELY 30,000 VISITORS IN THE MUSEUM IN 2025. THE MUSEUM ALSO SEEKS TO COLLABORATE WHENEVER POSSIBLE WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS AND POTENTIAL PARTNERS WHILE ALWAYS HONORING OUR CURRENT PARTNERSHIPS. WE BELIEVE COLLABORATION IS ESSENTIAL TO ORGANIZATIONAL SUCCESS. IN 2025, THE JOURNEY MUSEUM ACQUIRED ALL ASSETS OF MINNILUSA HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION, A 501C3 ORGANIZATION THAT MAINTAINS A PIONEER MUSEUM. THE ACQUISITION ALLOWS THE JOURNEY TO EXPAND ITS COLLECTION. THE HOPE IS THAT THE COMBINED RESOURCES AND ALIGNED OBJECTIVES WILL RESULT IN VISITOR GROWTH. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 4 | 1. MODIFICATION OF MISSION AND PURPOSE THE MISSION STATEMENT WAS EXPANDED TO FORMALLY INCLUDE "EDUCATION" AS A CORE PILLAR OF THE ORGANIZATIONS ACTIVITY. THE UPDATED MISSION FOCUSES ON UNDERSTANDING THE PAST, ENRICHING THE PRESENT, AND SUSTAINING THE FUTURE, REMOVING PREVIOUS LANGUAGE RELATED TO SPECIFIC FUTURE CHALLENGES. UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, SUCH CHANGES ARE SIGNIFICANT AS THEY REDEFINE THE SCOPE OF ACTIVITIES THROUGH WHICH THE ORGANIZATION ACHIEVES ITS EXEMPT PURPOSE. 2. GOVERNING BODY COMPOSITION AND SELECTION THE 2025 BYLAWS CHANGED THE STRUCTURE AND SELECTION PROCESS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS: BOARD SIZE: THE PERMISSIBLE RANGE WAS NARROWED TO BETWEEN NINE AND THIRTEEN DIRECTORS, TIGHTENING THE PREVIOUS RANGE OF SEVEN TO FIFTEEN. APPOINTMENT AUTHORITY: THE APPOINTMENT POWER OF THE MAYOR OF RAPID CITY WAS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED FROM FIVE SEATS TO A SINGLE SEAT (RESTRICTED TO A MEMBER OF THE COMMON COUNCIL). THE AUTHORITY TO FILL THE REMAINING SEATS WAS TRANSFERRED TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, TO BE CONDUCTED VIA ELECTION BASED ON ESTABLISHED STAKEHOLDER SELECTION GUIDELINES. 3. REMOVAL OF INSTITUTIONAL GOVERNANCE TIER THE ORGANIZATION COMPLETELY REMOVED THE "COLLECTIONS DIRECTORS" ARTICLE. THIS STRUCTURAL CHANGE ELIMINATED FOUR INSTITUTIONAL SEATS THAT PREVIOUSLY HELD BINDING AUTHORITY OVER SPECIALIZED MUSEUM COLLECTIONS. THIS REPRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT SHIFT IN THE AUTHORITY AND DUTIES OF THE GOVERNING BODY AND ITS MANAGEMENT OF PRIMARY EXEMPT ASSETS. 4. QUORUM AND VOTING STANDARDS THE DEFINITION OF A QUORUM FOR BOARD MEETINGS WAS SIMPLIFIED TO REQUIRE MORE THAN 50% OF DIRECTORS "CURRENTLY SERVING," REPLACING THE PREVIOUS STANDARD BASED ON DIRECTORS "ELIGIBLE TO VOTE". ADDITIONALLY, FOR STANDING COMMITTEES, THE QUORUM REQUIREMENT WAS INCREASED FROM ONE-THIRD TO A SIMPLE MAJORITY OF COMMITTEE MEMBERS. 5. COMMITTEE STRUCTURE AND MEMBERSHIP THE BYLAWS FORMALLY ESTABLISHED THE "GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE" AS A NEW STANDING COMMITTEE. FURTHERMORE, MEMBERSHIP ON ALL STANDING COMMITTEES (EXECUTIVE, FINANCE, AND GOVERNANCE) IS NOW STRICTLY LIMITED TO SERVING BOARD MEMBERS, ELIMINATING THE PRIOR ALLOWANCE FOR NON-DIRECTOR MEMBERS ON CERTAIN COMMITTEES. 6. DUTIES OF OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES THE PRESCRIPTIVE FISCAL AND SECRETARIAL DUTIES FOR THE CHAIR, VICE-CHAIR, SECRETARY, AND TREASURER WERE MOVED FROM THE BYLAWS TO A SEPARATE "BOARD MEMBER JOB DESCRIPTIONS" DOCUMENT. THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S ROLE WAS CLARIFIED TO EMPHASIZE MANAGEMENT "AT THE DISCRETION OF THE BOARD- AND REFINED REPORTING PROTOCOLS. |
