This decline is primarily attributable to several large, nonrecurring bequests received in the prior fiscal year. Excluding these one-time gifts, contribution levels in fiscal year 2025 are more consistent with the Organizations typical annual fundraising activity. Contribution revenue can fluctuate from year to year based on the timing and size of donor gifts, including bequests and other significant contributions.

All collections purchased are charged to operations at the time of purchase. Proceeds from de-accessions are reflected as increases in the appropriate net asset category and are to be used for the purchase of additional appropriate items for the collection and/or for management and direct care of the permanent collection items. Direct care includes preventative care and conservation of the collections. There were no significant disposals of collections during the years ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
