(TAC) is a nonprofit 501(c)(4) entity chartered in the state of Maryland. TAC's facilities are a combination of state-of-the-art facilities, innovative programs, and imaginative people charged with finding that spark that leads to unparalleled capability for our partners. Through a partnership intermediary agreement (PIA) between TAC and USCYBERCOM, TAC enables USCYBERCOM and its partners to engage nontraditional partners to accelerate mission success. TAC has achieved success with projects advancing malware analysis, opensource threat intelligence sharing platforms, protecting against social media disinformation, computer vision, zero thrust network prototyping, and redesigning risk management frameworks. TAC evaluated commercial products to assess fit and feasibility for use within defined network parameters. TAC hosted five rapid prototyping events (RPES) to help identify and accelerate the path to violable solutions. TAC expanded its physical and virtual lab environments used for prototyping solutions, refining standard operating procedures in cyber defense operations, and skill development. TAC's innovation facilities are a choice location for organizations to hold strategic planning meetings or collaborations with partners as a nearby "offsite" with flexibility to accommodate in person meetings augmented with virtual platforms capabilities. TAC hosted in person, virtual, and hybrid events focused on increasing cyber security skills, capabilities, and awareness. TAC also built virtual collaboration platforms utilized to continue technical talks, demonstrations, and collaboration sessions during the pandemic. TAC's new capabilities were utilized by training organizations to create videos that spark interest and provide valuable resources to staff regardless of where they were now working and to host partners to bring a level of professionalism to their virtual participation. Similarly, TAC's facilities are a choice location for workforce development and outreach events. During 2022, TAC's internships provided high school and college students experience working side-by-side with subject matter experts solving real-world, mission-relevant technical challenges. TAC hosted programs specifically designed for students at minority serving institutions to help strengthen the nation's stem hiring pipeline. 35485174 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 70 0 1 34 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 4 4 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 X John Goode 4436264450 621 East Pratt Street Ste 610 Baltimore MD 21202 X David Tohn Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Tom Sadowski Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Linda Singh Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jennifer Bodensiek Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 CyberPoint International LLC 7142 Columbia Gateway Dr Suite 10 Columbia MD 21046 7257834 Clarity Innovations LLC 6940 Columbia Gateway Dr 110 Columbia MD 21046 2881818 Zigabyte Corporation 601 Koon Rd Lugoff SC 29078 1309307 Doves Tech LLC 1770 Indian Trail Lilburn Rd NW 19 Norcross GA 30093 1013768 Decisions Oriented Inc 2288 Blue Water Blvd Odenton MD 21113 952167 29 49688570 471715 50160285 152 152 50160437 0 0 152 2703624 1689693 1013931 73430 45892 27538 321736 201076 120660 200876 125542 75334 591682 591682 285432 285432 241013 72252 168761 685362 604452 80910 3991573 3960197 31376 2054787 2053107 1680 317694 280428 34161 3105 28966 24240 4726 3385664 2118139 1267525 25163 15742 9421 Contractors 22623069 21977125 645944 Continuing Education 1470733 1470733 Subscriptions 878375 845937 32438 Employee Morale 6390 619 5771 4246 4246 39889815 35485174 4401536 3105 738564 12569203 8170810 2352882 2819 0 792311 777048 13724034 5950898 6800396 7773136 2184680 6418419 18689580 29890688 4385774 3644843 1000 0 2308751 0 3666160 8458807 10361685 12103650 X 8327895 17787038 8327895 17787038 18689580 29890688 10270622 -811479 0 X X 0 1 X 1 1 1 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 4366285 2017965 2348320 4544336 1905397 2638939 4813413 2027536 2785877 7773136 Security Deposits 98652 Right of use assets - operating leases 6319767 6418419 Lease Liability - operating leases 8458807 8458807 X 50160437 0 50160437 0 50160437 39889815 0 39889815 0 39889815 Part X, Line 2: The Organization evaluates uncertainty in income tax positions based on a more-likely-than-not recognition standard. If that threshold is met, the tax position is then measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there are no accruals for uncertain tax positions. If applicable, the Organization records interest and penalties as a component of other expenses and are presented as management and general in the Statements of Activities and Changes in Net Assets and Functional Expenses. Tax years from 2020 through the current year remain open for examination by tax authorities. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 4 Articles of Amendment - Name Change from "Maryland Innovative & Science Institute" to "Technology Advancement Center" 10/20/2023 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b The form 990 is distributed to the entire board via email prior to filing. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c The Technology Advancement Center, Inc. has a conflict-of-interest policy/form that applies to all directors and is signed by the directors each year. If a potential conflict arises with any director, that director is excluded from the conversation. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 TAC hired a consulting firm to assist the board in determining reasonable compensation of the CEO and other officers, by obtaining data from comparable organizations for functionally comparable positions as reported on the Forms 990 from similar tax-exempt organizations located in the Maryland/DC/Virginia metro area. Mr. Gumtow recused himself from the board's consideration of his compensation as CEO. Upon analysis and in reliance on the data obtained, the board determined and approved the compensation arrangement for the CEO. TAC used the same process to determine the compensation of its chief information security officer, as it used for its CEO. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 The organization's governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are available to the public upon request. Form 990, Part XII, Line 2c: The process has not changed from the prior year.
