Part V, Line 4:The Esther M. Klein Endowment Fund supports Klein Gallery (EKG) operations through STEAM programming, in an effort to promote art and science to the surrounding Philadelphia community.
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, PIV, and SCEC, are for profit entities which are subject to income taxes. Total federal and state income tax expense from the consolidated entities was $1,400,000 and $-0- for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. 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, 2019 or 2018, 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 each of the years ended December 31, 2019 or 2018.

Designed in partnership with Drexel University, ic@3401 is a vetted community of experts, investors, and resources designed to help ideas become thriving businesses. Digital Health Accelerator: The Digital Health Accelerator helps companies developing healthcare products with a digital component transition from a prototype to sales and customer acquisition.

Participants in the accelerator receive funding, mentorship, introductions and workspace at ic@3401. Launch Lane Accelerator: Launched in late 2019, the Launch Lane Accelerator builds off the successful Digital Health Accelerator model to support tech-enabled startups with a prototype to transition to sales. Launch Lane utilizes the Digital Health Accelerator's blind application process. Participants in the accelerator receive funding, mentorship, introductions and workspace at ic@3401. Global Soft Landing: Our Global Soft Landing Programs enable companies to form meaningful relationships with stakeholders and establish a presence in domestic and international life sciences and technology markets. Sourcing Innovation: The Science Center connects industry and government to researchers through a mechanism that channels research partnership funds in exchange for an opportunity to license or partner with the researchers behind high-value technologies. Examples include the Science Center's participation in the DRIVe Accelerator Network, an initiative of the US Department of Health and Human Services' Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) that seeks to identify the most innovative products and technologies to protect Americans from the most serious systemic, natural and intentional health security threats.

Workforce Development: The Science Center's Workforce Development program seeks to connect local residents to jobs at science and technology companies in University City and beyond. The Science Center is committed to developing a strategic workforce development model that fits the needs of companies, strengthens the STEM talent pipeline, and benefits the community around us. CONVENE programs in which we galvanize and amplify an inclusive innovation community: Quorum Quorum serves as a central, neutral gathering space for the Greater Philadelphia Region's innovation community.

Venture Cafe Philadelphia: Part of the Venture Cafe Global Network in 10 cities around the world, Venture Cafe Philadelphia is a place to connect with all the makers, doers and thought leaders across the region. Through its Thursday gatherings, Venture Cafe Philadelphia programming complements Quorum's offerings with a menu of offerings that regularly attracts over 300 attendees each week.
