We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2023

• Guest Services: The Museum creates an active, involved and social environment for car enthusiasts. It provides engaging and entertaining exhibitions for a broad spectrum of the community, a retail store which includes educational materials and a café. To enhance the visitor experience, the Museum offers racing simulators and slot car driving. Attendance in 2023 = 75,000.

  Expenses $351,711 · Revenue $1,429,566

• Collection: The Museum is dedicated to secure and interpret the extensive LeMay car collection as well as to acquire, preserve and interpret additional mobility collections. There are approximately 260 cars in the collection.

  Expenses $156,376 · Revenue $11,295

• Exhibition: The Museum breaks the traditional design of static displays of cars by rotating exhibitions from its vast collection and showcasing auto manufacturers' achievements and future directions in design, technology and product development. The Museum opened 4 exhibits in 2023.

  Expenses $346,462 · Revenue $64,167

• The remaining programs primarily include the following: Education - An interactive center for all "students" of automotive history, restoration and preservation; and Event Sales - Patrons unable to attend the Museum during normal operating hours are offered the opportunity to view the collection during an after-hours event or group tour. During 2023, the Museum continued to increase its number of education activities and after-hour events as COVID-19 restrictions were released.

Officers and directors · 2023

As listed in Part VII of the 2023 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. 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. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
