In our first year, we traveled nearly 15,000 miles in New York State—by the summer of 2018, we more than doubled that total. Our travel schedules often have staff members crisscrossing New York, and monthly travel recaps have become a centerpiece of our email newsletter. In the past year, we brought the total number of organizations awarded free Planning & Assessment Services to 81 while continuing to deliver workshops and present at conferences and meetings around the State. Let’s take a look back together at some of the highlights of the past year at DHPSNY. Site Visits As the last issue of DHPSNY News went to press, we were just beginning to conduct Planning & Assessment site visits from the summer 2017 application round. We began with a Preservation Survey at the Lake Placid Museum in Lake Placid (Essex County), whose collections contain commemorative pins, photographs, and other documents from the 1980 Winter Olympic Games. Other visits from that round included an Archival Needs Assessment at the historic South Street Seaport Museum in lower Manhattan (New York County), which was featured in an episode of our podcast, and a Preservation Survey at The Explorers Continued on page 2 looking back (continued from page 1) Club in New York City (New York County), collection of architectural watercolor paint- whose research collections date from 1472 ings of proposed theater and courtyard and reflect the institution’s dedication to designs.

  • Millions of Individuals and Families Are Served by the Essential Work
    July 15, 2014 Open letter to the House of Representatives: Millions of individuals and families are served by the essential work of America’s public charities, which is made possible in part by incentives for charitable giving in our tax code. The House may soon have an opportunity to address tax legislation that would renew and make permanent three key incentives for donations to America’s public charities. We strongly urge you to approve legislation that would renew the IRA charitable rollover and the enhanced incentives for donations of food inventory and land conservation easements, each of which expired as of January 1, 2014. Originally enacted in the Pension Protection Act of 2006 as a way to encourage increased charitable giving, these three provisions have demonstrated a significant impact on the nonprofit community. The IRA charitable rollover increases the ability of older Americans to make gifts to charities by allowing individuals age 70½ or older to donate up to $100,000 to a qualifying public charity directly from their IRAs without incurring tax on the withdrawal. The provision has prompted more than $140 million in gifts to the work of nonprofits since enactment, assisting social service providers, religious organizations, cultural institutions and schools, and other nonprofits. The enhanced deduction for donations of food allows individuals and organizations to reduce their taxable income by providing qualifying food inventory to certain charitable organizations. According to Feeding America, 3.6 billion pounds of food is distributed by food bank members each year. This legislation would significantly increase food bank access to the 70 billion pounds of nutritious food wasted each year, particularly the 6 billion pounds of produce that does not make it to market.

    Congressional Earmarks Part of the Federal Resource Guide Series for Arts Organizations Snapshot Resource Guide 6 2006 EARMARKS Legislation: Funding earmarks can be attached to most appropriations bills. Table of Contents: Earmarks are generally housed within one of the departments or agencies contained in the particular bill. Earmarks can also be Snapshot 1 attached to multiyear authorizing legislation, such as last year's Background 2 highway bill which had over 6,000 of them. Earmark Process 3 Type of Assistance: Detailed Lists of Cultural Federal funding for an infinite variety of programs. Earmarks, by federal agency 5 Who May Apply: In effect, Members of Congress on behalf of constituents may apply. The process of applying to Congress for direct funding is difficult and complex, differing substantially from applying to federal agencies. Successful seekers of earmarks usually need political connections and professional assistance in working with their Member of Congress. FY 2006 Federal Budget Activities Funded: Nearly any type of project or program, from infrastructure to services, may be funded. FY 2005 Earmarks to Cultural Organizations: We have identified cultural earmarks in excess of $180 million. However, earmarks are sometimes disguised, making the exact total Earmarks difficult to calculate. Source: Americans for the Arts, June 2006. Background An earmark is a sum of money that, upon request of one or more representatives or senators, Congress directs to a specific project such as a building, a transportation project, or cultural programs or services. Earmarks have experienced enormous growth in recent years. Recent examples of earmarks to cultural organizations include: $150,000-Bronx Council on the Arts for the Arts Cultural Corridor Project; $800,000-Brooklyn Children’s Museum pedestrian enhancements; and $150,000 for construction of a cultural room at Chualar Elementary School, CA.
