1 other organization in the IRS Business Master File lists the same street address. matched by us

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 · 2024

• Historic Preservation and Maintenance - In order to fulfill its mission, the Museum performs historic preservation on several historic structures, including the Saint Augustine Lighthouse. The Light Station was restored to U.S. Department of Interior standards. The keepers' house, light tower, the WWII Jeep garage, the summer kitchens, the Fresnel lens, the lantern and restorations consume approximately 20 percent of the operation's staffing hours. The site is listed on the National Register of Historic places and in 2010 the Museum achieved its Smithsonian Affiliate status. The museum maintains the aid to navigation as a private aid and keeps the light shining.

  Expenses $2,783,062 · Revenue $2,719,878

• Museum Shop Activity - The gift shop offers visitors the opportunity to purchase various souvenirs, historical books, and other items related to the Organization's theme and mission. All revenue generated is directly used to support the Organization's programs.

  Expenses $549,810 · Revenue $1,315,990

• Interpretive and Educational Services - Education is core to the Museum's mission. Interpretive and educational services were fully part of all programs for the 47,000 +/- school age children that visited and the 200,000 +/- annual visitors. Various services offered included the "Wrecked" exhibit, the Lighthouse Summer Camp scholarship program for at-risk children, the Behind-the-Scenes tours included with paid admission, and various programs within the Maritime Archaeology Specialty Programs. All program content was tied to and teaches Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM_ education and the Museum Mission. The Museum performs scientific research in the waters of the nation's oldest port city and cares for up to 13,000 artifacts, archaeological specimen, and historic archival documents. Some 3,000 objects are on long-term loan from the State of Florida.

• Maritime Archaeology - The research arm of the Museum is the separately incorporated Lighthouse Archaeological Maritime Program (LAMP). LAMP archeologists host various field school students from across the United States, giving these students and other students hands-on experience in the field. LAMP has been working on a 1782 shipwreck site and objects such as a Queen Anne pistol, ship's deck pump,ship's bell, and various others have been retrieved by student divers. Current conservation work on these objects is supervised by the Museum. Fully conserved objects are displayed at the Museum's "Wrecked Exhibit" under permit by the State. LAMP publishes an annual archaeological research report that is presented to the State of Florida Division of Historical Resources. During the year, volunteers donate their time to build a variety of small craft and to tell and share stories of the maritime heritage to the vast number of tourists visiting the town.

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. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
