Part V, Line 4:The Esther M. Klein Endowment Fund supports Klein Gallery (EKG) operations, in an effort to promote art and science to the surrounding Philadelphia community. The EKG hosted its final exhibit at the end of 2022 and the account, designated by the board for gallery operations, was closed in early 2023.
Part X, Line 2:The Science Center is a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, although its consolidated entities, the Park, PTI, and SCEC, are for profit entities which are subject to income taxes. During each of the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the total federal and state income tax expense from the consolidated entities was $0. U.S. GAAP requires management to evaluate tax positions taken and recognize a tax liability if the Center has taken an uncertain tax position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by a government authority. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Center, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. The Center would recognize future accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits and liabilities in income tax expense if such interest and penalties are incurred. There were no income tax related interest and penalties recorded for either of the years ended December 31, 2023 or 2022.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4a, Program Service AccomplishmentsUrban Research Park In 1963 the Science Center was built on the foundation of real estate at a time when labs and research facilities were needed for cross disciplinary and cross-institutional collaborations. Our focus on providing researchers and entrepreneurs with the resources to advance the commercialization of their technologies hasn't changed over the last 60 years. The way we serve them has evolved with the changing needs of the ecosystem and now includes an integrated combination of physical space and programs to advance health and science innovation. Today, the campus-like complex consists of six buildings spanning 888,000 square feet of office and laboratory space. These buildings are part of the larger uCity Square campus developed in partnership with Wexford Science + Technology and Ventas, Inc. uCity Square consists of 27 acres, 20 buildings, 200 companies and over 15,000 people.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4b, Program Service AccomplishmentsCULTIVATE: Programs introduce students and adults to STEM careers through hands-on, industry-informed curriculum and workforce training. STEM Education: The Science Center's FirstHand STEM education program offers free year-round, project-based learning in partnership with local schools and community organizations. The FirstHand Lab connects local students to the innovation ecosystem in Philadelphia. FirstHand's industry-informed curricula provides real-world, hands-on experience to open doors for the minds of tomorrow. Since the program launched in 2014, 2,500 middle and high school students from 87 schools across Philadelphia have been supported through multiweek programming. In 2023, FirstHand supported 261 students from 36 Philadelphia middle and high schools. Workforce Development: The Science Center's BULB Workforce Development program introduces Philadelphia residents to lab skills desired by biotech companies in University City and beyond. In the three cohorts held in 2023, 34 participants without a traditional four year-college degree received STEM training. Mentors from local biotech companies engaged participants in at-home lab experiments using custom STEM kits. CONVENE Convene programs galvanize and amplify an inclusive innovation community: Quorum Quorum serves as a central, neutral gathering space for the Greater Philadelphia's innovation community, offering a two-pronged approach to convening: a free 5,000 square foot drop-in lounge serving as an open workspace and informal meeting location and a 10,000 square foot meeting facility available to rent. In 2023, Quorum attracted over 13,000 participants . Since Quorum's inception in 2011, over 190,000 visitors have joined over 2,000 events on a wide array of business-related and personal topics.
