ORGANIZATION MISSION STATEMENT	FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1	NYSC IS COMMITTED TO TRANSFORMING SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION NATIONALLY. ALL OF ITS MAJOR INITIATIVES HAVE BOTH PUBLIC-FACING COMPONENTS THAT SERVE FAMILY AND SCHOOL GROUP AUDIENCES, ALONG WITH RICH RESOURCES CREATED IN COLLABORATION WITH K-12 EDUCATION PARTNERS THAT SUPPORT REFORM-BASED PRACTICES IN SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING AND MATH AT THE SCHOOL LEVEL. IT IS THIS COMMITMENT THAT MAKES NYSCI UNIQUE AMONG ITS PEERS IN THE SCIENCE CENTER WORLD. NYSCI IS PAVING THE WAY TOWARDS A NEW MODEL OF EDUCATIONAL COLLABORATION AND PARTNERSHIP THAT HAS RAISED ITS PROFILE IN NEW YORK CITY AND NATIONALLY. NYSCI IS NOW THE THIRD LARGEST MUSEUM RECIPIENT OF EDUCATION FUNDING FROM THE NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION, AND ONE OF THREE MUSEUM RECIPIENTS OF THE HIGHLY COMPETITIVE INVESTING IN INNOVATION GRANTS FROM THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. NYSCI'S VISION FOR LEARNING AND ENGAGEMENT HAS ATTRACTED A SIGNIFICANTLY BROADER PORTFOLIO OF FUNDERS - MORE THAN 50% OF FOUNDATION FUNDERS AND 30% OF CORPORATE PARTNERS ARE NEW TO THE INSTITUTION. NYSCI IS ESTABLISHING ITSELF AS A LEARNING CAMPUS - ONE THAT CONTINUES TO ENGAGE AND INSPIRE PUBLIC AUDIENCES TOTALING OVER 500,000 ANNUALLY, WHILE ALSO DEVELOPING PROGRAMS THAT TRAIN FUTURE EDUCATORS, SUPPORT THE DEEPER LEARNING OF STUDENTS, AND CONTINUE TO DELIVER INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS TO THE FIELD.
	FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 2	BOARD OF TRUSTEE MEMBER ALAN SINSHEIMER AND BOARD OF TRUSTEE MEMBER SETH DUBIN HAVE A FAMILY RELATIONSHIP. BOARD OF TRUSTEE MEMBER GEORGE CAMPBELL IS A DIRECTOR AT CON EDISON WHERE CLAUDE TRAHAN IS AN EXECUTIVE. BOARD OF TRUSTEE MEMBER KURT WOETZEL IS A CORPORATE OFFICER OF BANK OF NY MELLON ON WHOSE BOARD NYSCI BOARD OF TRUSTEE CO-CHAIR NICHOLAS DONOFRIO SERVES.
	FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11	THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER ENGAGED AN EXTERNAL ACCOUNTING FIRM TO PREPARE FORM 990. THE FIRST DRAFT WAS REVIEWED WITH SENIOR MANAGEMENT. FORM 990 WAS THEN PROVIDED TO EACH VOTING MEMBER ELECTRONICALLY VIA EMAIL FOR REVIEW AND COMMENT BEFORE FILING. THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER COORDINATED DISTRIBUTION TO THE BOARD, AND IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, RESPONDED TO COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS. FORM 990 WAS FILED AFTER REVIEW AND COMMENT BY THE BOARD.
	FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C	NYSCI'S TRANSPARENCY POLICY INTRODUCTION THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE IMPOSES PENALTY TAXES IF NYSCI WERE TO ENTER INTO AN EXCESS BENEFIT TRANSACTION WITH A TRUSTEE OR OFFICER OF NYSCI OR WITH ANYONE ELSE WHO, DURING THE PRIOR FIVE YEARS, HAS BEEN IN A POSITION TO EXERCISE SUBSTANTIAL INFLUENCE OVER THE AFFAIRS OF NYSCI. A SIMILAR CONCERN ABOUT CONFLICTS OF INTEREST ALSO INFORMS THE NEW YORK NOT-FOR-PROFIT LAW PROVISIONS ABOUT CONTRACTS INVOLVING NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS AND THEIR TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS. NYSCI HAS ALWAYS BEEN CAREFUL TO AVOID CONFLICTS ISSUES. NEVERTHELESS, IT IS APPROPRIATE TO SET OUT NYSCI'S POLICY IN A WRITTEN STATEMENT WHICH DRAWS FROM THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL AND STATE LAW AND ALSO FROM OTHER PRINCIPLES OF GOOD MANAGEMENT. DEFINITIONS: A PERSON WHO HAS "SUBSTANTIAL INFLUENCE OVER THE AFFAIRS OF NYSCI" MEANS EACH TRUSTEE AND EACH SENIOR OFFICER OF NYSCI INCLUDING ALL NYSCI EMPLOYEES WHO ARE AT THE LEVEL OF DIRECTOR OR ABOVE. FOR OUR PURPOSES, IT ALSO MEANS A CORPORATION IN WHICH A TRUSTEE OR A SENIOR OFFICER IS A DIRECTOR OR OFFICER OR CONTROLS AT LEAST 10% OF THE VOTING POWER AND A PARTNERSHIP IN WHICH A TRUSTEE OR A SENIOR OFFICER IS ENTITLED TO AT LEAST 10% OF THE PROFITS. WE CALL EACH OF THOSE PEOPLE AND ENTITIES AN "INFLUENTIAL PERSON." THAT ALSO INCLUDES AN INDIVIDUAL'S SPOUSE OR SIGNIFICANT OTHER, PARENTS, CHILDREN AND THEIR SPOUSES, SISTERS AND BROTHERS, AND SISTERS- AND BROTHERS-IN-LAW. AN EXCESS BENEFIT TRANSACTION IS A TRANSACTION IN WHICH NYSCI PROVIDES TO AN INFLUENTIAL PERSON AN ECONOMIC BENEFIT THAT IS WORTH MORE THAN THE GOODS OR SERVICES THAT NYSCI RECEIVES IN RETURN. THE "REVIEWER" IS THE COMMITTEE DESIGNATED BY THE CHAIRMAN TO REVIEW TRANSACTIONS THAT REQUIRE AUTHORIZATION UNDER THIS POLICY STATEMENT. REVIEW: WITHOUT FIRST RECEIVING AUTHORIZATION FROM THE REVIEWER: A) NYSCI MAY NOT DO BUSINESS WITH AN INFLUENTIAL PERSON; B) NO INFLUENTIAL PERSON MAY ACCEPT A GIFT OR LOAN (OTHER THAN A LOAN IN THE NORMAL COURSE OF THE LENDER'S BUSINESS) FROM A CONTRACTOR OR VENDOR OF NYSCI AND THAT HAS A VALUE OF MORE THAN $100; C) NYSCI MAY NOT MAKE A CONTRIBUTION TO ANY CHARITY OF WHICH AN INFLUENTIAL PERSON IS A DIRECTOR OR OFFICER; AND D) NO INFLUENTIAL PERSON MAY GIVE OR LOAN TO AN EMPLOYEE OF NYSCI, NOR MAY AN EMPLOYEE OF NYSCI GIVE OR LOAN TO AN INFLUENTIAL PERSON, MORE THAN $1,000. THE REVIEWER MAY DECLINE TO GRANT AUTHORIZATION FOR A TRANSACTION UNDER (A) ONLY IF THE REVIEWER DETERMINES THAT THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION WOULD BE AN EXCESS BENEFIT TRANSACTION. THE REVIEWER MAY DECLINE TO GRANT AUTHORIZATION FOR A TRANSACTION UNDER (B), (C), OR (D) ONLY IF THE REVIEWER DETERMINES THAT THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION WOULD BE INIMICAL, OR MAY BE SEEN TO BE INIMICAL, TO RESPONSIBLE MANAGEMENT OF NYSCI. LARGE CONTRACTS: BEFORE NYSCI ENTERS INTO ANY AGREEMENT FOR MORE THAN $100,000, IT SHALL NOTIFY THE REVIEWER OF THE NATURE OF THE AGREEMENT AND THE NAME OF THE OTHER PARTY AND FURNISH WHATEVER INFORMATION IT HAS IN ITS POSSESSION ABOUT THE OWNERSHIP AND CONTROL OF THE OTHER PARTY. THE REVIEWER SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE AUTHORIZED NYSCI TO ENTER INTO THE AGREEMENT UNLESS IT NOTIFIES NYSCI WITHIN SEVEN DAYS THAT THE AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATES A TRANSACTION THAT, BY REASONS OF THE IDENTITY OF THE PARTIES, REQUIRES FURTHER REVIEW UNDER THIS POLICY STATEMENT. NOTIFICATION: EACH INFLUENTIAL PERSON MUST NOTIFY THE REVIEWER UPON BECOMING AWARE THAT NYSCI IS DOING BUSINESS, OR IS CONSIDERING DOING BUSINESS, WITH THAT INFLUENTIAL PERSON. IN ADDITION, ONCE EACH YEAR AT A TIME DESIGNATED BY THE CHAIRMAN, EACH INFLUENTIAL PERSON SHALL SUBMIT TO THE REVIEWER A COMPLETED QUESTIONNAIRE IN THE FORM ATTACHED TO THIS POLICY STATEMENT. REPETITIVE BUSINESS: IN THE EVENT THAT AN INFLUENTIAL PERSON AND NYSCI EXPECT TO ENGAGE IN REPETITIVE BUSINESS, THE REVIEWER MAY PROSPECTIVELY AUTHORIZE THE CONDUCT OF THAT BUSINESS ON TERMS THAT THE REVIEWER CONSIDERS APPROPRIATE. NO FURTHER AUTHORIZATION FOR THAT REPETITIVE BUSINESS SHALL BE REQUIRED SO LONG AS THE INFLUENTIAL PERSON AND NYSCI COMPLY WITH THE TERMS SET BY THE REVIEWER. THE REVIEWER MAY REVOKE A PROSPECTIVE AUTHORIZATION AT ANY TIME. RECONSIDERATION: IF THE REVIEWER DECLINES TO AUTHORIZE ANY TRANSACTION THAT REQUIRES AUTHORIZATION UNDER THIS POLICY STATEMENT, ANY PARTY TO THAT TRANSACTION MAY SUBMIT THE MATTER TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OR THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD FOR RECONSIDERATION. THE RELEVANT INFLUENTIAL PERSON MAY NOT VOTE ON THAT MATTER AS A TRUSTEE OR MEMBER OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
	FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15	COMPENSATION FOR THE CEO IS REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, PROVIDED THAT PERSONS WITH POTIENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST WITH RESPECT TO THE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS DO NOT PARTICIPATE. THE BOARD USES APPROPRIATE AND ADEQUATE DATA TO DETERMINE THE REASONABLENESS OF THE COMPENSATION BEING CONSIDERED AGAINST INDUSTRY STANDARDS. FOR KEY EMPLOYEES, THE CEO USES INDUSTRY STANDARDS SUBSTANTIATED BY APPROPRIATE DATA SUCH AS COMPENSATION SURVEYS, PERFORMANCE REVIEWS, AND A CONSIDERATION OF EQUITY AND PARITY WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION. THE COMPENSATION REVIEW PROCESS WAS LAST UNDERTAKEN FOR THE CEO AND KEY EMPLOYEES IN THE YEARS LISTED BELOW: PRESIDENT & CEO: 2011 DIRECTOR & CHIEF CONTENT OFFICER: 2008 CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER: 2011 EXECUTIVE VP & COO: 2011 VP INSTITUTIONAL ADVANCEMENT: 2011 VP EXTERNAL AFFAIRS: 2011
	FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION C, LINE 19	GOVERNING DOCUMENTS AND CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY HAVE NEVER BEEN REQUESTED AND HAVE NOT BEEN MADE READILY AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. HARD COPIES ARE PROVIDED WITH A CHARGE TO THE RECIPIENT FOR POSTAGE. ELECTRONIC COPIES IN PDF FORMAT ARE PROVIDED FOR FREE.
	FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C:	THERE HAVE BEEN NO CHANGES IN THE OVERSIGHT PROCESS OF THE AUDIT OF NYSCI'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OR IN THE SELECTION PROCESS OF AN INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT WITHIN THIS TAX YEAR.
