THE RETURN WAS ALSO PREPARED BY AN INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTING FIRM. AFTER THE RETURN WAS FINALIZED, MANAGEMENT PROVIDED IT TO EACH TRUSTEE VIA EMAIL/WEBSITE PRIOR TO FILING THE RETURN WITH THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE. QUESTIONS, IF ANY, WERE DIRECTED TO AND ADDRESSED BY THE VICE PRESIDENT, ACCOUNTING, AND COMMUNICATED TO THE AUDIT COMMITTEE. RESPONSES TO NOTABLE QUESTIONS WERE PROVIDED TO ALL TRUSTEES FOR THEIR INFORMATION.
FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 12C CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY	DURING THE PERIOD REPORTED ON IN THIS FORM 990, A CONFLICT-OF-INTEREST POLICY (THE "POLICY") WAS APPLICABLE TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES (THE "BOARD"), KEY EMPLOYEES, AND OTHER EMPLOYEES WHO HAD AUTHORITY TO SIGN CONTRACTS TOTALING $15,000 OR MORE AND/OR HAD THE ABILITY TO INFLUENCE A TRANSACTION BETWEEN THE KENNEDY CENTER AND ANOTHER ORGANIZATION (COLLECTIVELY, "COVERED INDIVIDUALS"). THE POLICY COVERED TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN THE KENNEDY CENTER AND (A) COVERED INDIVIDUALS, (B) THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS, AND/OR (C) AN AFFILIATED ENTITY. TO ASSIST THE KENNEDY CENTER IN IDENTIFYING TRANSACTIONS WHERE THERE MAY BE AN ACTUAL OR PERCEIVED CONFLICT OF INTEREST, EACH COVERED INDIVIDUAL IS REQUIRED TO COMPLETE AND SIGN AN ANNUAL CONFLICT-OF-INTEREST DECLARATION (A "DECLARATION") AND, AS NECESSARY, UPDATE THE DECLARATION TO REFLECT ANY CHANGES DURING THE YEAR.

WHEN A COVERED INDIVIDUAL BECOMES AWARE OF A CONFLICT, THE COVERED INDIVIDUAL HAS A DUTY TO IMMEDIATELY DISCLOSE THE EXISTENCE AND CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE CONFLICT TO THE GENERAL COUNSEL'S OFFICE. IF A CONFLICT WERE TO INVOLVE THE GENERAL COUNSEL, THE EXISTENCE AND CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE CONFLICT WOULD BE DISCLOSED TO THE AUDIT COMMITTEE. THE AFFECTED COVERED INDIVIDUAL MUST (A) REFRAIN FROM USING HIS OR HER PERSONAL INFLUENCE TO ENCOURAGE THE KENNEDY CENTER TO ENTER INTO OR NOT ENTER INTO THE TRANSACTION, AND (B) PHYSICALLY EXCUSE HIMSELF OR HERSELF FROM PARTICIPATING IN ANY DISCUSSIONS REGARDING THE TRANSACTION, EXCEPT TO RESPOND TO REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION. IF A CONFLICT IS DISCLOSED IN A DECLARATION, TO THE BOARD CHAIR, THE AUDIT COMMITTEE, OR THE GENERAL COUNSEL'S OFFICE, IT WILL BE REVIEWED BY EITHER THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OR THE GENERAL COUNSEL'S OFFICE. DURING THE AUDIT COMMITTEE'S OR GENERAL COUNSEL'S OFFICE'S REVIEW, IT WILL CONSIDER WHETHER, ABSENT THE PARTICIPATION OF THE AFFECTED COVERED INDIVIDUAL, ANY PROPOSED TRANSACTION INVOLVING A CONFLICT IS FAIR AND REASONABLE TO THE KENNEDY CENTER. THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OR GENERAL COUNSEL'S OFFICE WILL MAINTAIN SUCH DOCUMENTATION AS MAY BE NECESSARY AND APPROPRIATE TO DOCUMENT THE REVIEW OF THE CONFLICT AND WILL REPORT TO THE BOARD ON CONFLICTS, WHETHER APPROVED OR NOT. THE AUDIT COMMITTEE MAY SEEK ADVICE FROM THE GENERAL COUNSEL'S OFFICE OR FROM OUTSIDE ADVISORS, AND THE GENERAL COUNSEL'S OFFICE MAY ALSO SEEK ADVICE FROM OUTSIDE ADVISORS. SUCH ADVICE WILL GENERALLY BE IN CONNECTION WITH EITHER THE REVIEW OF ANY CONFLICT OR THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE POLICY.
