Re: 2022 Civic Partner Request to the City of Dunedin
Dear Friends:
The Partnership between the City of Dunedin and the Dunedin Fine Art Center (DFAC) has spanned four decades. Today, it is as strong and mutually beneficial. The welcoming and quality of life that the City of Dunedin offers residents and visitors is in perfect sync. DFAC is a major cultural institution. Our symbiotic relationship heightens the profile of both DFAC and the City. DFAC is the largest art center in the Southeastern United States, offering a fully comprehensive visual arts program to residents, surrounding counties of Greater Tampa Bay and the country.
We are grateful to the City of Dunedin for your generosity, cooperation, and support dating back to 1969 when Syd Entel and the Junior Service League had a vision to build an art center on City land. Today, that art center is 40,000 square feet and we are very grateful to the City for the in-kind maintenance and cash grants given over the years.
We request a $75,000 Civic Partner Grant. DFAC funds an exceptional educational program that served over 7000 students pre Covid and during the pandemic we opened on June 1, 2020, following CDC guidelines by reducing all classes, including the Summer Art Academy to less than 50%. Difficult changes were made to ensure that DFAC did not go into debt, some of these measures include reduced staff by six (6) employees, every employee’s salary was reduced by a percentage depending on their salary, from 35% to 10% and many heartfelt requests were made to donors for additional support. DFAC was helped greatly by the PPP loans and a one-time grant from Pinellas County.
As we approached the financial 2020-21 year, we followed CDC guidelines and safety protocols so that students and visitors would feel safe. Many of our programs from artists talks to virtual tours of exhibits and the Children’s Museum went virtual. Students were eager to return, and the exhibits are extraordinary due to the awarding winning Curatorial team. The Summer Exhibits honor DFAC’s work in continuing to bring diverse, equitable and inclusive exhibits along with our classes.
All classes, exhibits and events are subsidized. Our Partnership with the City of Dunedin is crucial part of that subsidy. In addition, Dunedin residents (representing 34% of our membership) receive a 10% discount on membership, giving them a sizeable savings on classes and events. It is always our hope that more residents will be able to enjoy the creative and wellness benefits of art.
With deep respect,
George Ann Bissett, MA, CFRE President/CEO
2019-20 Goal:
Annual Report for 2020-2021 Civic Partnership
As noted in the Certification that was signed last year, the Dunedin Fine Art Center should include documentation illustrating the degree to which the following benefit / performance measure was achieved with any FY 2021 funding received from the City:
1. Goal of the DFAC is to keep programs as affordable as possible.
------
DFAC closed its doors to the public in March 2020 and reopened June 1, 2020. Staff worked from Home and our priority was to individually call every student who was registered for our Winter and Spring Classes. DFAC had 850 students registered and three options were given:
1. Return their funds. 2. Give a credit up to September 30, 2020. 3. Donate their funds and give to our faculty members who rely on teaching.
It was very heartwarming because it broke out into 1/3 return funds for classes; 1/3 take as a credit; and 1/3 give to DFAC’s Faculty.
The decision to pay the faculty from the students was made by the Board and President/CEO. DFAC’s Faculty are known throughout Tampa Bay as being the best and we wanted to demonstrate the respect and appreciation of students, staff, and Board.
The Board and Pres/CEO met weekly drilling down into the budget and building a plan to keep DFAC from sinking into deep debt because our Annual Budget is predicated on earning 70% of income from classes, grants and special events. To maintain viability, we took draconian measures to ensure that there would be an art center while always keeping in mind the importance of our students and members.
June 1st was a thrilling day when we opened our Doors to the Summer Art Academy and adult students.
DFAC did not raise tuition although following CDC Guidelines we reduced the number of students in the Summer Academy from the prior year 2019, 1801 to 980, reducing our income. The commitment not to raise prices was important. What we did was raise funds for Scholarships for children for the Art Academy and adult students.
We cut weekend hours, only opened the Gallery Shop for a few hours a week and the Palm Café was closed. Also, we reduced salaries and laid off staff. All these steps ensured that DFAC remained viable, and our students and members did not suffer increased prices.
DFAC still gave Dunedin Residents a 10% discount on Membership which in turn affords a 30% discount on classes.
TOTAL Amount of Funds Given to Students and Members during this Grant Cycle: $25,253. Below are the figures stating how these funds were distributed.
10/1/2019 – 09/30/2020: Discounts $1,941. Members $19,370
10/1/ 2020- 05/31/ 2021: Discounts $1,207 Members: $12,070 (this number does not represent a full year).
Scholarships given during this period:
Children: 10% of all children attending in 2020 Summer Art Academy received a scholarship: amount of funds $12,020
Adult: $4975 in scholarships
Veterans: $4646
Youth Education (not in Summer Camp): $464
We also opened a FULL exhibition schedule in June, that ultimately allowed all seven of our galleries to be programmed with exhibits FREE to Dunedin residents and other visitors. We were once again, chosen as the “Best Gallery” in all of Tampa Bay.
Even during this once in a century disaster, the Board and Staff of DFAC did everything possible to ensure that we remained true to our constituents and promises. 2022 Civic Partnership Request to the City of Dunedin, Florida
What performance criteria will be measured and/or reported on to gauge DFAC’s resulting value to our community?
We are pretty sure there is no way to quantify the Dunedin Fine Art Center’s value to our community. A partnership that spans nearly 50 years has established values and traditions that truly are incalculable. The “bragging rights” alone, that come from having fostered the largest Art Center in the southeast United States, says more about DFAC and our relationship to the creative, vibrant community of Dunedin, than anything ever could.
There are however many parts of DFAC’s role in our community that CAN be quantified. We have chosen the largest and broadest, as it signifies in the most real way possible the return on investment the City of Dunedin reaps through its support of DFAC. We used the Americans for the Arts | Arts & Economic Prosperity 5 Calculator to reveal the economic impact DFAC delivers to our community.
Based on the supplied budget of $1.8 million dollars, for the proposed 2022 Civic Partnership year, we look to generate in the community, a total of $4.3 million in economic impact. This includes 131 FTE jobs. In addition, the calculator estimates that we will generate in excess of $190,000 in local government revenue and more than $250,000 in state government income. This quantifiable return makes the investment we seek here quite the bargain. (See appendix for complete Americans for the Arts | Arts & Economic Prosperity 5 Calculator results and explanation).
List DFAC’s recent major accomplishments and how these resulted in an improved quality of life for Dunedin residents.
The Dunedin Fine Art Center is consistently recognized as one of the leading cultural institutions in the Tampa Bay region. Whether it is through awards or press coverage, DFAC reflects glowingly on the community as one of the gems in our crown. From offering award-winning exhibitions, mostly FREE to the entire community, to providing award-winning educational opportunities with instructors from across the nation and globe, subsidized for residents and visitors alike, DFAC presents a model of growth and integrity that continues to reflect the vision and goals it shares with the community as a whole. (See appendices - DFAC Sample Media & City of Dunedin EPIC! GOALS) For DFAC’s most recent audited year-end financial statements, see appendix.
FOR DFAC’s upcoming year revenue and expense budget, see appendix.
Tell us about the number of Dunedin residents that will be served or that will benefit
Using our membership and visitor logs as base estimating tools, we can say that over 15,000 of our nearly 50,000 COVID-year visits came from Dunedin residents, while over 10,000 come from the tourist sector of our local economy. For funding received in FY 2021, please include documentation illustrating the degree to which the DFAC’s stated FY 2020 public benefits/performance measures were achieved
We used our TOTAL ECONOMIC IMPACT (as calculated by the Americans for the Arts | Arts & Economic Prosperity 5 Calculator) as the metric we would track to gauge our performance in last year’s request. While we, along with the rest of the community struggled with a pandemic that closed our doors on March 17, 2020, drastically reduced our programs and altered many of our methods for outreach and delivery, we were able (with strict Health and Safety Protocols) to reopen our doors to live in-person instruction on June 1, 2020. Even with the COVID-19 reduced numbers, DFAC’s most recently completed budget of $2.1 million dollars, means we generated in the community, a total of $3.6 million in economic impact. This includes 117 FTE jobs. In addition, the calculator estimates that we generate in excess of $160,000 in local government revenue and more than $200,000 in state government income. This quantifiable return makes the investment the City of Dunedin made, quite the bargain. (See appendix for complete Americans for the Arts | Arts & Economic Prosperity 5 Calculator results and explanation). DFAC has lived the gospel of outreach and inclusion since we opened our doors over 45 years ago. In addition to the diversity of artists who study, teach and exhibit with us, DFAC’s Just Imagine Program for mentally and physically challenged youth and adults has been a cornerstone of our offerings for over 30 years. We additionally provide outreach services to The Arc of Tampa Bay, Kiwanis, Leadership Pinellas, Art Harvest, Friends of the Island, HEP, Clearwater Free Clinic, and many other service clubs. We partner and provide complimentary memberships, judge art shows, give out prizes, while welcoming their members and constituents in celebrating art and the quality of life that art fosters. This past year saw the formation of DFAC’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Committee, to ensure the we continue to foster the values we hold dear. Our new DEI mission statement as approved by the Board of Directors reads: The Dunedin Fine Art Center (DFAC) is committed to creating an inclusive space where the arts are celebrated, explored and learned by all. We believe that it is important for everyone, regardless of background, identity, and voice, to feel welcome to participate and be heard in this space. Societal barriers have created disparities in our community and the art community at large. With this acknowledgment, DFAC affirms our belief that individual characteristics, inclusive of race, national origin, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, and economic status, add value and richness to our classrooms, exhibits, events, and galleries. DFAC remains committed to being mindful of unintentional bias in our actions and identifying and addressing barriers to fair and equitable participation in our creative culture.
DFAC’s Galleries are open year round and daily visitors and many residents tell us how beautiful our Museum is, whereas we are an Art Center because we do not own a collection of Art which is stored in a vault and only some of it is shown over the years – DFAC is an art center which means that we have the freedom to change our Galleries often and to invite our residents and the public to be a part of each Exhibit. This is very exciting for all the artists in our area as their work is side by side with renowned national and international artists. Our students are encouraged to use their creativity by making works and showing them in our Exhibits. DFAC has been described as an “Arts Village” by the former art critic for the Tampa Bay Times and over the 45 years that we have been opened there have been thousands of exhibits and thousands of artists shown. Yearly, certified Pinellas School teachers are a major part of the Summer Art Academy and throughout the year. DFAC works in conjunction with Pinellas County Schools and ALL Dunedin area schools to mount seven exhibits featuring school-age artists yearly. This means exhibition experience for nearly 500 young artists and the thousands of families and friends who attend. What is the projected time frame your organization (number of years) anticipates it will need funding from the City.
DFAC is a nonprofit 501(c)3. That model of business which requires an organization to contribute back to the community and does not benefit share holders means that we will need to forever sustain the gap between our earned income and the amount that is raised through grants, special events, corporate and individual giving. DFAC has a fine track record of raising 70% of earned income, which is very high when compared to museums for instance, that realize approximately 7 to 10% earned income. This of course means that we must raise 30% of our annual operating income yearly through grants, special events, and donations.
Though we have provided a sustainability plan for the item below, we anticipate it will take years beyond the scope of any plan for the Dunedin Fine Art Center endowment to reach a level where DFAC might realize passive income that will alone fulfill the budget gap. In the near term, in order to continue to offer the level of free and reduced cost programs we provide to the community, we actually anticipate an increased need for funding, as we struggle to return from the ravages of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Provide a Sustainability Plan showing how DFAC plans to ensure financial sustainability.
From the classic nonprofit model, the Dunedin Fine Art Center has been sustaining itself for over 45 years. This model, includes crucial support from state and local government, donors and other funding sources. This is a model that is followed in communities as diverse as Pocatello, Idaho and New York, New York. Sustaining quality of life is a cornerstone in any successful municipality, regardless of its size. DFAC’s Board of Directors fully engages and understands the importance of helping DFAC adopt Best Practices to assist in working towards sustainability.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor's Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 AND 2019 NOTE A - NATURE OF OPERATIONS The Dunedin Fine Art Center, Inc. (DFAC) was organized in 1974 as a not-for-profit corporation under the laws of Florida. DFAC’s mission is to offer creative educational experiences in the visual arts. This is done by offering adult and youth art classes at three different campuses. DFAC sponsors exhibitions and shows that are open to the public and provide a lively summer youth camp. Additionally, DFAC provides community outreach for schools and community groups by providing hands-on art projects at schools and events. NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The financial statements of DFAC have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP), which require DFAC to report information regarding its financial position and activities according to the following net asset classifications: Net assets without donor restrictions: Net assets that are not subject to donor-imposed restrictions and may be expended for any purpose in performing the primary objectives of DFAC. These net assets may be used at the discretion of DFAC’s management and the board of directors. Net assets with donor restrictions: Net assets subject to stipulations imposed by donors, and grantors. Some donor restrictions are temporary in nature; those restrictions will be met by actions of DFAC or by the passage of time. Other donor restrictions are perpetual in nature, whereby the donor has stipulated the funds be maintained in perpetuity. Revenue is reported as increases in net assets without donor restrictions unless use of the related assets is limited by donor-imposed restrictions. Expenses are reported as decreases in net assets without donor restrictions. Contributions received with donor-imposed restrictions that are met in the same year as received are reported as revenue of the net assets without donor restrictions class. Contributions are recognized when the donor makes a promise to give to DFAC, that is, in substance, unconditional. Measure of Operations The statements of activities reports all changes in net assets, including changes in net assets from operating and nonoperating activities. Operating activities consist of those items attributable to DFAC’s ongoing services. Nonoperating activities, if any, are limited to other activities considered to be of a more unusual or nonrecurring nature. 10 THE DUNEDIN FINE ART CENTER, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 AND 2019 NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates included in the financial statements include allocation of expenses by function, useful lives of depreciable and amortizable assets, and net present value of promises to give. Fair Value Measurement Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on a measurement date. The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. Cash and Cash Equivalents DFAC considers all highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents for purposes of reporting cash flows. Financial instruments which potentially subject DFAC to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents held in financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. From time to time throughout the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, DFAC’s cash balance may have exceeded the federally insured limit. However, DFAC has not experienced and does not expect to incur any losses in such accounts. Restricted Cash Restricted cash consists of amounts received in connection with DFAC’s capital projects and amounts received for contributions with restrictions of a temporary nature. Investments Investments in marketable securities with readily determinable fair values and all investments in debt securities are reported at their fair values in the statements of financial position. Investment gains and losses (including realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments, interest and dividends) are included in the accompanying statements of activities. 11 THE DUNEDIN FINE ART CENTER, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 AND 2019 NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED Promises to Give Unconditional promises to give that are expected to be collected within one year are recorded as contributions receivable at net realizable value. Unconditional promises to give that are expected to be collected in future years are recorded at the present value of their estimated cash flows. Conditional promises to give are not included as support until the conditions are substantially met. Promises to give which are due in more than one year are recorded at the present value by discounting future cash flows using current risk-free rates of return based on U.S. Treasury Securities yields with maturity dates similar to the expected contribution collection period. Management reviews outstanding promises to give on an ongoing basis. As of September 30, 2020 and 2019, no allowance was deemed necessary by management. Inventory Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis and consists of merchandise held for sale in the Gallery Shop as well as certain supplies held for consumption during operations. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost when purchased or, if donated, at estimated fair value at the date of donation. Improvements and betterments in excess of $5,000 that materially prolong the useful lives of assets are capitalized. Depreciation is calculated using a straight-line method over the useful lives of the respective assets ranging from three to twenty years. Unamortized Leasehold Interest The leasehold interest conveyed to the City of Dunedin (the City) is being amortized on a straight- line basis over the period of benefit of the leasehold rights. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets DFAC reviews long-lived assets, including the unamortized leasehold interest, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. DFAC assesses the recoverability of the cost of the asset based on a review of projected undiscounted cash flows. In the event an impairment loss is identified, it is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the long-lived asset. 12 THE DUNEDIN FINE ART CENTER, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 AND 2019 NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED Revenue Recognition Contributions received are recorded as increases in net assets without donor restrictions and net assets with donor restrictions, depending on the existence and/or nature of any donor restrictions. All donor-restricted contributions are reported as increases in net assets with donor restrictions. When a restriction expires (that is, when a stipulated time restriction ends, or the purpose of the restriction is accomplished), net assets with donor restrictions are reclassified to net assets without donor restrictions and reported in the statements of activities as net assets released from restrictions. Contributions that are restricted by the donor are reported as increases in net assets without donor restrictions if the restrictions expire or are otherwise satisfied in the fiscal year in which the contributions are recognized. Program service revenue is recognized at the time that the services are provided. Grants are recognized as support when performance occurs pursuant to the contract agreement. Noncash Contributions Donated materials are recorded as support at their fair value at the date of donation. Contributions of services are recorded as support at their estimated fair value if the services received create or enhance non-financial assets or require specialized skills, are provided by individuals possessing those skills, and would typically need to be purchased if not provided by donation. No amounts have been reflected in the financial statements for donated volunteer services in connection with the various programs since they do not meet the requirements under financial accounting standards. Deferred Income Deferred income consists of membership fees, event sponsorships and tuition that are collected in advance and are recognized as revenue in the period in which they are earned. Income Tax Status DFAC is a not-for-profit organization that is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. 13 THE DUNEDIN FINE ART CENTER, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 AND 2019 NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED Uncertain Tax Positions DFAC accounts for the effect of any uncertain tax positions based on a “more likely than not” threshold to the recognition of the tax positions being sustained based on the technical merits of the position under scrutiny by the applicable taxing authority. If a tax position or positions are deemed to result in uncertainties of those positions, the unrecognized tax benefit is estimated based on a “cumulative probability assessment” that aggregates the estimated tax liability for all uncertain tax positions. DFAC has identified its tax status as a tax-exempt entity as its only significant tax position; however, DFAC has determined that such tax position does not result in an uncertainty requiring recognition. DFAC is not currently under examination by any taxing jurisdiction. DFAC’s federal returns are generally open for examination for three years following the date filed. Functional Allocation of Expenses The cost of providing the various programs and other activities has been summarized on a functional basis in the statement of activities and functional expenses. Program services, management and general, and fundraising, when specifically identifiable, are classified to the function which incurred the expense. Those specifically identifiable include education, exhibition costs, and membership. All other expenses are allocated among program services, management and general, and fundraising based upon the ratio of employee time spent in each functional area. Summarized Comparative Information The accompanying financial statements include certain prior year summarized comparative total amounts. Such information does not include sufficient detail to constitute a presentation in conformity with US GAAP. Accordingly, such information should be read in conjunction with DFAC’s financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2019. New Accounting Pronouncements In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2018-08, Not for Profit Entities (Topic 958): Clarifying the Scope and Accounting Guidance for Contributions Received and Contributions Made. The ASU provides a more robust framework for determining whether a transaction should be accounted for as a contribution or as an exchange transaction. The guidance also helps determine whether a contribution is conditional and better distinguished a donor-imposed condition from a donor-imposed restriction. The Federation adopted ASU 2018-08 effective July 1, 2019 and determined that the adoption will not result in a material change to how it accounts for revenue from contributions and grants. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The revenue guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted as of the original effective date. 14 THE DUNEDIN FINE ART CENTER, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 AND 2019 NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED New Accounting Pronouncements - Continued In May 2020, the FASB issued a one-year extension of the required adoption date. The ASU may be applied retrospectively to historical periods presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. DFAC plans to adopt ASU No. 2014-09 in fiscal year 2021 and is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on its financial statements. NOTE C - AVAILABILITY AND LIQUIDITY At September 30, 2020 and 2019, DFAC’s financial assets available to meet general expenditures within one year were as follows: 2020 2019 Financial Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 307,487 $ 219,467 Restricted cash 247,203 90,441 Grants and other receivables - 8,596 Promises to give, net 9,413 2,000 Total financial assets 564,103 320,504 Less Amounts Not Available to be Used Within One Year: Net assets with donor restrictions 247,203 90,441 Financial assets available to meet general expenditures over the next twelve months$ 316,900 $ 230,063 DFAC is supported by contributions with and without donor restrictions. Because a donor’s restriction requires resources to be used in a particular manner or in a future period, DFAC must maintain sufficient resources to meet those responsibilities to its donors. Thus, financial assets may not be available for expenditure within one year. As part of DFAC’s liquidity management, it has a policy to structure its financial assets to be available as its general expenditures, liabilities and other obligations come due. DFAC monitors liquidity to meet its operating needs and other contractual commitments. As described in NOTE N, DFAC also has a $250,000 line-of-credit available for use in meeting financial obligations. DFAC had investments of $2,376,387 and $1,972,217 at September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, that are available to meet liquidity requirements upon approval of DFAC’s board of directors. 15 THE DUNEDIN FINE ART CENTER, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 AND 2019 NOTE D - BUILDING MAINTENANCE AND THE CITY OF DUNEDIN DFAC’s building and land improvements are located on property owned by the City. The cost of the original building and land improvements (from inception in 1974 through 1989) were previously transferred to the City and are not reflected in the accompanying statements of financial position. All leasehold improvements made since 1990 were conveyed to the City effective September 30, 2014, the second floor of the west wing was conveyed effective September 30, 2016, and the Food Arts Studio was conveyed effective September 30, 2019. These amounts are reflected as an unamortized leasehold interest on the statements of financial position as of September 30, 2020 and 2019 (see NOTE H). DFAC occupies the building under an agreement with the City, whereby DFAC operates the inside of the building and the City provides facility repair and outside and ground maintenance. Any major repairs or replacements to the exterior of the building and the grounds, including - but not limited to - the roof, air conditioners, exterior painting, exterior lights and the parking lots are provided by the City. The City also pays for water, sewage, and ground maintenance. The City’s in-kind donation includes building maintenance expenses such as ground maintenance and facility repair. The in-kind donation for each of the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $143,210 and $99,561 respectively. This amount is included in total contributed services and in-kind donations (see NOTE I).

Additionally, as of September 30, 2016, the second floor was completed and conveyed to the City and as of September 30, 2019 the Food Arts Studio was completed and conveyed to the City. These leasehold interests are being amortized using the straight-line method over the life of the leasehold through September 2035.

The purpose of the trust is “to develop and maintain an art education program at the Dunedin Fine Art Center with said Center’s assistance in developing the curriculum for elementary school age children.” An independent grant awarding committee was formed to consider and approve annual distributions from the trust. As of September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Organization received $216,772 and $244,654, respectively, from the trust. As of September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Organization expended $216,772 and $244,654, respectively, in approved expenditures. Net assets with donor restrictions of a permanent nature consist of endowment donations to DFAC. The donors have instructed DFAC that the principal cannot be expended; however, the earnings generated by the original donated principal are available to be expended. Any earnings are included in net assets with donor restrictions or net assets without donor restrictions as earnings are expended. 19 THE DUNEDIN FINE ART CENTER, INC.

Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at September 30, 2020 and 2019. Cash and money market funds - the carrying amount reported in the statements of financial position approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. Mutual funds, equities, and exchange traded products - valued at quoted market prices in which the securities are traded. The following tables represent DFAC’s financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2020 and 2019 for each of the fair value hierarchy levels: 20 THE DUNEDIN FINE ART CENTER, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 AND 2019 NOTE M - ENDOWMENT FUND DFAC’s endowment (the Fund) consists of individual funds established for a variety of purposes. Its endowment is comprised of donor-restricted endowment funds. As required by US GAAP, net assets associated with endowment funds are classified and reported based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. DFAC received $225,351 from an estate in fiscal 2000 to be held in perpetuity in the Fund. The interest and income can be used annually to provide for children’s programs, exhibits, or other programming activities for children and adults. The initial corpus of this donation is considered to be permanently restricted while the interest and income is considered temporarily restricted if not used within the same year in which it is earned. DFAC received a restricted endowment contribution of $240,000 from the State of Florida in 2006. The related funding agreement required that DFAC designate an additional $360,000 to supplement the State endowment contribution. The $240,000 contribution reverts back to the State of Florida if DFAC ceases operations, files for bankruptcy protection, or willfully expends any portion of the $600,000. Earnings from the Fund are available to fund DFAC’s operating activities. DFAC received additional endowment contributions in subsequent years which have been added to the endowment corpus. The Board has designated certain funds to the endowment fund. The board designated funds are allocated their share of realized and unrealized gains and losses and investment income. Interpretation of Relevant Law In July 2011, the State of Florida adopted the Florida Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (FUPMIFA). DFAC has interpreted FUPMIFA as requiring the preservation of the fair value of the original gift as of the gift date of the donor-restricted endowment funds absent explicit donor stipulations to the contrary. As a result of this interpretation, DFAC considers (a) the original value of gifts donated to the permanent endowment, (b) the original value of subsequent gifts to the permanent endowment and (c) accumulations to the permanent endowment made in accordance with the direction of the applicable donor gift instrument at the time the accumulation is added to the fund as a net asset with restrictions of a permanent nature. The remaining portion of the donor-restricted endowment fund that is not considered to be permanent is included in net assets with donor restrictions until those amounts are appropriated for expenditure by DFAC in a manner consistent with the standard of prudence prescribed by FUPMIFA. In accordance with FUPMIFA, DFAC considers the following factors in making a determination to appropriate or accumulate donor-restricted endowment funds: (1) The duration and preservation of the fund (2) The purposes of DFAC and the donor-restricted endowment fund (3) General economic conditions (4) The possible effect of inflation and deflation (5) The expected total return from income and the appreciation of investments (6) Other resources of DFAC (7) The investment policies of DFAC 22 THE DUNEDIN FINE ART CENTER, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 AND 2019 NOTE M - ENDOWMENT FUND - CONTINUED For the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, DFAC has elected not to add appreciation for cost of living or other spending policies, due to inflation and other economic conditions, to its permanently restricted endowment. Any appreciation retained is included in the board designated endowment without donor restrictions.

Endowment assets include those assets of donor-restricted funds that DFAC must hold in perpetuity or for a donor-specified period(s) as well as board-designated funds. The terms of the operating policies of the endowment fund requires that it will be managed by an outside investment counselor recommended by the Endowment Committee and approved by the Board of Directors. The Investment Committee is responsible for the investment selections, subject to guidance from the Endowment Committee. The objective of the Fund is to invest funds in accordance with the standards set forth in Section 518.11, Florida Statutes. The amount invested in equities shall vary from time to time and shall be established by the committees as conditions permit. 24 THE DUNEDIN FINE ART CENTER, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 AND 2019 NOTE M - ENDOWMENT FUND - CONTINUED Spending Policy DFAC is operating under an approved endowment spending policy that seeks to preserve the purchasing power of the Fund while providing income at the highest attainable level. The earnings and accumulations in the Fund are budgeted annually and are to be used based on expected total return and taking restrictions into account. There is to be no invasion of the original principal of the gifts given to DFAC unless the donors instruct otherwise. The Fund can distribute, annually, up to 5% of the average market value of the preceding twelve calendar quarters. Within forty-five days of the end of the fiscal year, the Chairman of the Endowment Committee, upon review and approval by the Endowment Committee, shall recommend to the Board of Directors the amount from the prior fiscal year, if any, to be distributed from the Endowment Fund and the Board of Directors shall determine the purpose for which the amount shall be used. In the event the funds are not distributed in any given year, funds up to calculated amount may be distributed in a subsequent year. NOTE N - LINE-OF-CREDIT DFAC had a $250,000 revolving line-of-credit available at a financial institution at September 30, 2020 and 2019. The line-of-credit is unsecured and bears interest at a rate equal to the prime rate plus 0.50% (4.0% at September 30, 2020). The line-of-credit automatically renews annually and is payable on demand. There was a balance of $200,000 and $0 outstanding on the line-of-credit at September 30, 2020 and 2019. NOTE O- NOTE PAYABLE In April 2020, DFAC received a loan under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) in the amount of $198,650. The PPP, established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), provides loans to qualifying entities. The loan and accrued interest are forgivable as long as the loan proceeds are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act. The loan accrues interest at 1% and was originally payable in eighteen monthly installments of principle and interest commencing seven months after the loan date if the loan, in whole or in part, was not forgiven under provisions of the PPP. The loan is a program of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and is administered by DFAC’s bank (lender). In June 2020, the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act was enacted which extended the deferral period for payments of principle, interest and fees on PPP loans. The revised deferral period includes the loan forgiveness covered period which can be up to 24 weeks plus an additional ten months. If any portion of the PPP loan is not forgiven, repayment of the unforgiven portion will commence after the SBA notifies the lender of the unforgiven loan amount and remits the forgiven loan amount to the lender. If DFAC elects not to apply for forgiveness, repayment of the loan will commence ten months after the end of DFAC’s loan forgiveness covered period. 25 THE DUNEDIN FINE ART CENTER, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 AND 2019 NOTE O- NOTE PAYABLE - CONTINUED DFAC currently intends to use the entire loan amount for qualifying expenses and apply for forgiveness of the entire loan. It is not possible, as of the date of these financial statements, to determine with certainty that the loan, in whole or in part, will be eligible for forgiveness. The timing of the repayment of any unforgiven loan amount is subject to a number of factors as described above and Management has deemed forgiveness to be probable. Accordingly, DFAC has included the entire loan amount as a long-term liability in the accompanying statements of financial position. NOTE P - PENSION PLAN Full-time employees of DFAC may elect to participate in a self-directed Simple IRA plan. The employees’ tax-deferred contribution will be matched by DFAC up to a maximum of 3% of their salary. This plan is administered by a broker-dealer and provides the participants with the option to invest in several different registered investment funds. The matching contributions provided by DFAC for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $16,426 and $19,205, respectively. This amount is a component of employee benefits on the statement of functional expenses. NOTE Q - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES DFAC receives support from grantor agencies for its programs. If this support were to be reduced or eliminated, it could affect the operation of the supported programs. In addition, DFAC is subject to audit examination by the grantor agencies. In the event that reimbursed expenditures were disallowed, repayment would be required. COVID-19 On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (the COVID-19 outbreak) and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this report. As such, it is uncertain as to the full magnitude that the pandemic will have on DFAC’s financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations. Management is actively monitoring the situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, DFAC is not able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for the year ended September 30, 2021. NOTE R - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Management has evaluated subsequent events through January 21, 2021, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Management is not aware of any subsequent events which would require recognition or disclosures in the financial statements. 26 Sustainability Plan - 2019 Members of Committee: Nancy Ridenour, facilitator, London Bates, chair, Julie Scales, Robert Johnston, Ryan Hayden, Patrick Donoghue, Steve Beaty, Sara Kessinger, George Ann Bissett, Ken Hannon, Dave Barton, and Dr. Irwin Entel I.

Seeing original artwork in rotating gallery exhibits, taking classes/workshops related to media viewed in the galleries, exploring art concepts in the children’s museum based on fine art presented in the galleries, supporting artists through purchases in gift shop or from exhibits, expanding your horizons with artist lectures, events and socials. Where you enter the circle isn’t as important as being a part of Mr Todd the circle. I see smiling faces from children who visited DFAC via school tours. Youth Education Director These same smiling faces move up through DFAC’s Summer Art Academy to eventually becoming student volunteers that help the younglings follow in their footsteps. These same children then decide to further develop their skills by taking classes after school. They continue on through youth art classes to the specialized Teen classes and up to the Adult offerings. Overall, it’s like a multi-multi- generational family that continues to complete the circle! “if you don’t see a class that fits your schedule, a class may be created for at Miss Shannon least 6 participants and contingent on studio/instructor availability.” Youth Education Coordinator Note: These are drop off programs (except family classes). This means that the children’s classes and teen classes are for their respective ages and not for adults/parents. This allows parents to “take a break”. *Please note: DFAC at time of printing catalog requires everyone to wear masks and temperature checks to enter the building. Thanks.
