Mission and programs · 2024

• THE NSCDA-SC OWNS AND OPERATES THE POWDER MAGAZINE MUSEUM, SOUTH CAROLINA'S OLDEST PUBLIC BUILDING. COMPLETED IN 1713, IT WAS USED FOR GUNPOWDER STORAGE IN THE PROTECTION OF CHARLES TOWN FROM 1713-1748 AND DURING THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION. AS ONE OF THE FEW SURVIVING STRUCTURES OF PRE-REVOLUTIONARY SOUTH CAROLINA, IT WAS LISTED AS A NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK IN SEPTEMBER, 1989. IN FY 2024-25, THE MUSEUM WELCOMED A TOTAL OF 7,677 VISITORS INCLUDING 1,086 STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN EDUCATIONAL FIELD TRIPS. IN THE FALL, THE MUSEUM OFFERED A 4 PART ZOOM LECTURE SERIES ON EARLY LIFE IN COLONIAL CAROLINA. THE MUSEUM ALSO PARTNERS WITH OTHER NONPROFITS, K-12 EDUCATORS, COLLEGES, AND UNIVERSITIES ON PROJECTS AND ACTIVITIES THAT ACHIEVE BOTH HISTORIC PRESERVATION AND EDUCATION.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here. A text marked withheld matched a screen for wording that may name a private individual, such as an honorific or "in memory of". Most of what it withholds names no one; it is withheld so that what does is never shown.

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.

The first 25 listed. 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.
