Mission and programs · 2024

• The Putnam Foundation (the Foundation) is a non-profit organization whose primary activity is the education of the public in fine arts through the operation of the Timken Museum of Art (the Museum) located in Balboa Park in San Diego, California, and is the only fine art museum in San Diego that does not charge admission. Accessibility, whether through our free-admission policy or through outreach to underserved groups in the community is at the heart of the Timken.

  Expenses $2,451,584

• Educational Programs:The museums educational programs, broad and varied, are offered throughout the year and are free of charge. The programs, both in the museum and out in the community include school residencies, classes at Juvenile Hall, and Balboa Naval Medical Center, school tours, teacher trainings, family art making, docent tours, art programs in senior residence and Outreach Espaol our bi-national program which provides transportation to the museum and tours in Spanish for students in Baja CA. In addition our educational programs also include exhibitions, artist in residency and musical performances. Our exhibitions examine, in depth, a specific painting or body of work in the museums collection, by placing the work or works into the broader context of the art and culture of its time. Our intent is to expand and deepen our viewers understanding of art and specifically the pieces in our collection. Exhibitions are an essential part of the Timkens educational programs and we believe our free admission mandate promotes art awareness and appreciation by making our collection accessible to any and all that visit.

  Expenses $121,889

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. 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. 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.
