In accordance with GAAP, the Organization does not record donations of collection items and records purchases of collection items as reduction in net assets in the year in which the time is acquired. Accordingly, statements of financial position and donated collection items are not recognized in the accompanying statements of of activities and changes in net assets. Professional standards require that collections are held for public exhibition and education in furtherance of public service rather than financial gain; are protected, kept unencumbered, cared for, and perserved; and are subject to a policy that requires the proceeds from sales of collection items to be used to acquire other items of collections. These works of art further the Organizations exempt purpose by igniting the spark of creativity inherent in all children.
