The museum collection represents works of arts or historically significant items in the field of puppetry that are held for public exhibition in the Organization's museum or exhibits. The Organization's policy is to capitalize all collections at cost or, for donated items, at fair market value at the time of the donation. In accordance with the Organization's policy, the proceeds from the sale of collection items must be used to acquire other collection items. The Organization has designated the collection as inexhaustible and, accordingly, does not record depreciation for these assets. Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund. Building endowment fund - earnings for building and facility expensesArtistic endowment fund- earnings for artistic programming. Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Organization recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, there are no known items which would result in a material accrual related to where the Organization has federal or state attributable tax positions. Generally, taxing authorities have three years to examine a filing from the later of the filing date or the extended due date of the filing.
