Activities or mission (Part I)

THE MUSEUM EDUCATES, INSPIRES, EMPOWERS, AND SHAPES THE FUTURE BY INTEGRATING WOMEN'S DISTINCTIVE HISTORY INTO THE CULTURE AND HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES.

IN 2022, THE MUSEUM INVESTED IN BRINGING WOMEN'S HISTORY TO THE PUBLIC IN A NEW AND MEANINGFUL WAY THROUGH ITS UNIQUE PARTNERSHIP WITH THE MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. MEMORIAL LIBRARY IN DOWNTOWN WASHINGTON, D.C. OUR PRIMARY FOCUS FOR THE YEAR WAS ON DEVELOPING, DESIGNING AND BUILDING THE MUSEUM'S FIRST PHYSICAL EXHIBITION FOR A MARCH 2023 OPENING AT THE MLK LIBRARY. THE EFFORT WAS LED BY A TEAM OF MAJOR SCHOLARS AND HISTORIANS AS CURATORS, A WORLD-CLASS MUSEUM DESIGN FIRM, AN AWARD-WINNING INTERACTIVE DISPLAY FIRM AND HIGHLY REGARDED MUSEUM DISPLAY FABRICATION FIRM. THE RESULT WAS A TIMELY, VISUALLY EXCITING, ENGAGING AND EDUCATIONAL EXHIBITION, "WE WHO BELIEVE IN FREEDOM: BLACK FEMINIST D.C." THIS MAJOR UNDERTAKING RESULTED IN AN ON-TIME OPENING TO ENTHUSIASTIC REVIEWS IN MARCH 2023. THE EXHIBITION HAS ENHANCED OUR ABILITY TO REACH THE PUBLIC WITH PHYSICAL AS WELL AS VIRTUAL CONTENT.

Expenses $945,907 · Revenue $11,475
THE MUSEUM ALSO CONTINUED ITS COMMITMENT TO FREE, ACCESSIBLE WOMEN'S HISTORY EDUCATION THROUGH A ROBUST VIRTUAL PROGRAMMING SCHEDULE THAT INCLUDED ONLINE EXHIBITIONS, A COMPENDIUM OF BIOGRAPHIES, CLASSROOM-READY LESSON PLANS, RESEARCH RESOURCES, VIRTUAL FIELD TRIPS, A VIRTUAL BOOK CLUB, PANEL DISCUSSIONS, AUTHOR TALKS AND VIRTUAL WORKSHOPS FOR EDUCATORS' PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. THE MUSEUM'S OPEN RESOURCE, EDUCATIONAL WEBSITE AVERAGED OVER 5 MILLION VISITORS FROM AROUND THE GLOBE IN 2022.

Expenses $670,030

ON AUGUST 26, 2022, THE MUSEUM CELEBRATED WOMEN'S EQUALITY DAY WITH THE PUBLICATION OF A DIGITAL ANTHOLOGY "DETERMINED TO RISE: WOMEN'S HISTORICAL ACTIVISM FOR EQUAL RIGHTS." THE 195-PAGE PUBLICATION WAS THE CULMINATION OF THE MUSEUM'S TWO-YEAR LECTURE SERIES OF THE SAME NAME. IT FEATURES ESSAYS BY 13 PROMINENT WOMEN'S SCHOLARS WHO LOOKED AT THE SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT THROUGH DIFFERENT LENSES, PROVIDING CONTENT THAT INFORMS CURRENT EVENTS. THE E-PUBLICATION IS AVAILABLE VIA THE MUSEUM'S WEBSITE.

Expenses $8,937

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
