Mission and programs · 2024

• TO ACCOMPLISH THE MISSION, THE ORGANIZATION RUNS A MUSEUM THAT PRODUCES EXHIBITS, ON-SITE PROGRAMS, OFF-SITE PROGRAMS, VIRTUAL PROGRAMS, AND HOUSES A COLLECTION. EXHIBITS: THE MUSEUM'S FACILITY FEATURES TWO EXHIBIT GALLERIES. THE PERMANENT EXHIBIT, "ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES", EXPLORES OVER 200 YEARS OF IOWA'S AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY. THE CHANGING EXHIBIT GALLERY HOSTS A NEW EXHIBIT EACH YEAR ON A DIFFERENT THEME. SEVERAL TRAVELING EXHIBITS ARE ALSO MADE AVAILABLE TO ORGANIZATIONS, BUSINESSES, LIBRARIES, AND OTHER MUSEUMS FOR A SMALL FEE. THE MUSEUM BUILDING WAS CLOSED FROM LATE 2022 THROUGH MAY 11, 2024 DUE TO A MAJOR RENOVATION. DURING THIS TIME, OFF-SITE EXHIBITS WERE HELD AT THE CEDAR RAPIDS PUBLIC LIBRARY AND CEDAR RAPIDS MUSEUM OF ART. TRAVELING EXHIBITS WERE RENTED 41 TIMES IN 13 DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES IN 2024 WITH AN ESTIMATED VIEWERSHIP OF 16,800 PEOPLE. THE MUSEUM CONDUCTS NUMEROUS PROGRAMS FOR YOUTH AND ADULTS, BOTH ON-SITE AT THE MUSEUM AND OFF-SITE AT LOCATIONS AROUND THE STATE. THIS INCLUDES HANDS-ON WORKSHOPS, LECTURES, AND PERFORMANCES. 64 PROGRAMS AT THE MUSEUM AND AROUND IOWA REACHED 2022 PEOPLE IN 15 IOWA COMMUNITIES. THE MUSEUM MAINTAINS A COLLECTION OF APPROXIMATELY 3,000 OBJECTS, OVER 100 LINEAR FEET OF ARCHIVAL MATERIAL, AND DOZENS OF ORAL HISTORIES. IN ADDITION TO PRESERVING THESE ITEMS FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS, THEY ARE UTILIZED IN EXHIBITS AND PROGRAMS. MOST OF THE COLLECTION DATABASE AND A SELECTION OF ORAL HISTORIES ARE AVAILABLE ON THE MUSEUM'S WEBSITE. FROM FALL 2022 MAY 2024, THE MUSEUM CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC FOR A MAJOR RENOVATION PROJECT THAT TRANSFORMED THE BUILDINGS INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR. DURING THE RENOVATION, THE MUSEUM MAINTAINED ITS MISSION FULFILLMENT THROUGH OFF-SITE PROGRAMS AND EXHIBITS. FROM MAY DECEMBER 2024, 2473 PEOPLE VISITED THE MUSEUMS ON- SITE EXHIBITS.

  Expenses $535,682 · Revenue $17,334

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made
