It serves as America's leading platform for constitutional education and debate, fulfilling its congressional charter "to disseminate information about the U.S. Constitution on a nonpartisan basis in order to increase awareness and understanding of the Constitution among the American people." Located on Philadelphia's historic Independence Mall, just steps from where the Constitution was drafted and signed, the Center brings the Constitution to life for hundreds of thousands of visitors each year through interactive exhibits, rare documents and artifacts, moving theater programs, and educational activities. As we near our nation's 250th birthday celebration, the National Constitution Center is poised to play a key role because of both its proximity and relevancy to the anniversary of America's founding. The Center's online Interactive Constitution, the centerpiece of its educational efforts, unites scholars from across the legal and philosophical spectrum to explore areas of agreement and disagreement on the history, text, and meaning of nearly every provision of the Constitution. The Center's educational resources also include an online library of primary source documents, live and asynchronous constitutional education classes, a suite of Constitution 101 courses, and educator professional development opportunities. As a forum for balanced debate, the Center brings together a diverse array of renowned historians, leading scholars, public officials, and journalists to discuss the Constitution on all media platforms, hosting in-person and virtual events, live online classes, and weekly podcasts. The Center is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt, private organization under the leadership of esteemed constitutional scholar Jeffrey Rosen. Support from generous individuals, corporations, and foundations make possible the Center's efforts to increase civic education and elevate civil dialogue. MUSEUM OF 'WE THE PEOPLE' Through interactive exhibits, rare documents, priceless artifacts, and moving theatrical performances, learners from around the world visit the National Constitution Center to immerse themselves in the extraordinary story of "We the People." The Story of We the People, the Center's main exhibit, is an immersive educational experience, filled with hands-on, multimedia exhibits and activities. Historical documents, photos, and film help visitors understand America's past and see how the Constitution shapes the present. In the iconic Signers' Hall, visitors step into the final day of the Constitutional Convention-September 17, 1787-and sign the U.S. Constitution alongside 42 life-size, bronze statues of the Founding Fathers. In rare document galleries, visitors explore up close the rarest and most inspiring documents from our nation's founding. Live theatrical productions provide visitors with a greater connection to the content. Freedom Rising, a 17-minute state-of-the-art multimedia live theatrical performance, immerses visitors in the powerful story of the Constitution and the American quest for freedom, while past theatrical programs have brought to life constitutional issues in the headlines, provided first-person narratives from figures throughout history, and complemented the storytelling in the exhibits. In 2019, the center opened the permanent exhibit Civil War and Reconstruction: The Battle for Freedom and Equality, which explores how constitutional clashes over slavery set the stage for the Civil War and how the nation transformed the Constitution after the war to more fully embrace the Declaration of Independence's promise of liberty and equality. In 2020, to commemorate the centennial anniversary of voting rights for women, the Center opened The 19th Amendment: How Women Won the Vote. In January 2022, the National Constitution Center completed the installation of a 50-ton marble tablet, engraved with the 45 words of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The First Amendment Tablet spans a 100-foot-wide wall on the Center's Grand Hall Overlook, the second-floor atrium overlooking historic Independence Mall. The iconic tablet was previously displayed on the four-story-high, 74-foot-tall Pennsylvania Avenue faade of the Newseum in Washington, D.C. In 2023, the Center opened its newest gallery, The First Amendment. The 1,500-square-foot exhibit features more than 20 artifacts highlighting all five freedoms, including a draft opinion with handwritten edits from U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis; an anti-Vietnam War armband worn by the Tinker family and associated with the landmark student speech case, Tinker v. Des Moines; The New York Times' 1971 publication of the classified "Pentagon Papers;a pennant from the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. After steadily adding galleries over time, the Center has embarked on a broader reimagining of its core exhibit space in the run-up to America's 250th birthday in 2026. Construction will begin in 2025, with a renovated core exhibit space featuring brand-new galleries, beginning with one dedicated to America's founding principles, with more to be added in the coming years. The Center produces a variety of engaging, interactive programs and demonstrations that incorporate the exhibits to create an immersive museum-wide experience. Rotating daily programming offers a wide range of activities to engage students and family audiences, including, for example, constitutional trivia games and artifact carts showcasing the history of voting technology or capturing daily life in revolutionary Philadelphia. The Center also offers in-person and virtual tours for student and adult groups, plus additional educational programs and workshops that can be added onto a field trip experience, as well as designated Scout Days, where scouts from Boy Scouts BSA and Girl Scouts work toward earning American history of government-themed merit badges. The Center honors national Civic Holidays with special programs and activities to draw attention to the history and significance of these dates, such as Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents Day, Veterans Day, Independence Day, Juneteenth, and Constitution Day. Several of these family-friendly civic holidays are presented with free or discounted admission through the generosity of sponsors. The Young Citizens Scholarship Program provides eligible student/youth groups with free or reduced admission and transportation to the National Constitution Center. The program is made possible by the generous support of individual, foundation, and corporate donors to promote civic education. The Center also offers additional ways to engage with its exhibits from home: live tours of its core exhibits featuring museum educators, special live online programming on civic holidays, as well as self-exploration virtual tours available through its website and Google Arts and Culture. 5168299 4499 EDUCATION- To engage learners of all ages, in classrooms and homes across the nation, the National Constitution Center has developed a robust set of programs and resources to deliver constitutional content, reaching approximately 70,000 educators and 4.3 million students each year. Based on the acclaimed Interactive Constitution, the Center produces a variety of standards-based teaching materials for use in the classroom and at the museum, and hosts educator workshops, trainings, and other professional learning opportunities to promote constitutional literacy skills through civil dialogue. THE INTERACTIVE CONSTITUTION In September 2015, the National Constitution Center launched the online Interactive Constitution, which unites leading conservative, libertarian, and progressive constitutional scholars in America to write essays exploring areas of agreement and disagreement on every clause in the Constitution. In 2019, the Center began incorporating companion content for classroom use-integrating a robust set of educational resources including lesson plans, videos, and other multimedia content tagged according to constitutional provision. Since its launch, the Interactive Constitution has been visited by more than 90 million users, and it serves as America's leading platform for nonpartisan constitutional education. FOUNDERS' LIBRARY The Founders' Library includes 170+ primary texts that span American constitutional history-from the philosophical works that influenced the founding generation to the most important speeches, essays, books, pamphlets, petitions, letters, court cases, landmark statutes, and state constitutions that have shaped the American constitutional tradition. To ensure nonpartisan rigor and ideological diversity, the Center assembled a group of leading scholars from diverse perspectives to help choose the nearly 170 historical texts and 50 landmark Supreme Court cases in the document library. Launched in 2022, the document library also includes foundational sources curated by the National Constitution Center team. CONSTITUTION 101 In 2022, the National Constitution Center released Constitution 101, a free, nonpartisan online curriculum on the U.S. Constitution. Constitution 101 is a 15-module curriculum for high school students, as well as a standalone self-guided course for lifelong learners, that explores the basic principles of American freedom and the core constitutional texts of American history, from the founding to today. Constitution 101 is modeled on the National Constitution Center's proven framework for rigorous, nonpartisan constitutional education and the practice of civil dialogue. The curriculum includes interactive features, allowing students to take online assessments and allowing educators to integrate into their learning management systems. A middle school version of the Constitution 101 curriculum will launch in 2025. The Center partnered with acclaimed online education platform, Khan Academy, on a student self-mastery course. A complement to the teacher-led Constitution 101 curriculum, the 9-unit course uses a mastery-based approach through activities, exercises, and videos. Launched in fall 2024, the course includes more than 250 short videos featuring federal judges, former elected officials, public intellectuals, and the nation's leading constitutional scholars from across the ideological spectrum. These constitutional experts share canonical stories about America's Constitution, discuss landmark Supreme Court cases, and explore some of the most important constitutional debates facing the nation today. VIRTUAL STUDENT PROGRAMS Since 2020, the Center has offered a robust set of live online programs for student audiences. Through the online Scholar Exchange Program, students in middle school through college have the opportunity to discuss constitutional topics with a lawyer, judge, or constitutional scholar and their peers from around the country, gaining deeper constitutional understanding and engaging in enhanced civil discourse. Monthly and seasonal topics for these classes often reflect civic holidays, such as a civil rights discussion in January for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, or a discussion on the 19th Amendment for Women's History Month in March. There are also court case review and founding documents review sessions targeted toward students preparing for the Advanced Placement government exams. The Center has expanded the offerings to include Civic Stories, opportunities for elementary and middle school students to engage with the past through artifacts and the stories they tell. In this setting, students apply constitutional thinking skills to develop a deeper understanding of history and consider the ways in which artifacts tell stories about individuals, communities, and cultures. Through this practice, students begin to identify where they see themselves, their communities, and their surroundings in the broader scope of American history. The Live From the Museum series features tours of our exhibit spaces, designed to bring the experience of a trip to the Center to students everywhere. Topics vary by month, and are scheduled to align with upcoming civic holidays and special events. PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR EDUCATORS The National Constitution Center offers a range of free professional learning programs tailored to meet the goals and needs of educators. The Center's approach is designed to empower educators seeking to enhance civic and history instruction and constitutional understanding in classrooms across the nation. The Center provides the tools, knowledge, and pedagogical strategies to help educators effectively explore the Constitution's history and contemporary relevance. Educators can register for online sessions, half-day or full-day offerings, attend a multi-day institute or weekend workshop, request a customized professional development session for their school or district, or join one of our educator communities. The Center hosts weeklong Educator Institutes at the museum and at locations nationwide, providing teachers opportunities to learn from leading constitutional scholars and pedagogical experts, while also connecting with fellow educators. During each institute, educators work with content experts to deepen their knowledge of the history and contemporary relevance of the Constitution, the structural Constitution, and the amendment process. With teacher facilitators and the education team from the Center working hand-in-hand, participants discover and develop innovative, nonpartisan ways to make the content relevant to their students. Weekend Workshops include engaging discussions with constitutional scholars, insights into the Center's classroom-ready resources, and practical application sessions. Participants leave with valuable knowledge and strategies to enhance their teaching of constitutional principles in diverse classroom settings. Thanks to generous support, the Center is able to offer a set of Weekend Workshops every year that cover all travel and lodging expenses for educators from rural, remote, or underserved communities. Fostering community and collaboration among peers is also a core goal of the professional learning programs. The Teacher Advisory Board is a select cohort of educators invited to serve as champions for our educational initiatives and as key advisors to the education team. The collaboration with these skilled educators helps inform the Center's efforts to better educate students on the Constitution using high-quality, nonpartisan, effective classroom materials and instruction. The Teacher Advisory Council is a professional learning community of educators who share best practices for teaching constitutional, historical, and civics topics and serve as ambassadors for the Center's educational efforts. The Center's first cohort of Constitutional Fellows piloted the Center's teacher-led Constitution 101 high school curriculum in their classrooms for the 2022-23 school year, providing critical feedback and commentary for wider implementation in classrooms around the country. The second cohort launched in 2024 has focused on informing the development of a middle school version of Constitution 101. The National Constitution Center provides additional support for educators nationwide by traveling to state and regional conferences throughout the school year. The education team has traveled across the country, attending conferences such as the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS), the Association of Middle Level Education (AMLE), and Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD), as well as regional council for the social studies programs, such as the Texas Council for the Social Studies (TXCSS), the Florida Council for the Social Studies (FCSS), and more. Sessions at these events have focused on topics such as civil dialogue, storytelling, the 14th Amendment, and the Constitution 101 curriculum. IN THE COMMUNITY 1734654 247525 CONVENINGS At a time when America is increasingly polarized, the Center provides a crucial and unique role in bringing thought leaders, students, and citizens of different perspectives together to learn about and debate the meaning of the U.S. Constitution. Under the leadership of President and CEO Jeffrey Rosen, the Center has become the leading forum for vigorous civil dialogue at our live America's Town Hall programs and debates in Philadelphia and across America. Through live events, videos, blog posts, and We the People and Live at the National Constitution Center podcasts, the Center provides balanced debate on timely constitutional issues. The Center has welcomed numerous notable guests to talk about issues at the heart of American life. In the past year, America's Town Hall hosted in-person and virtual events with a diverse set of speakers including best-selling authors, public officials, journalists, historians, and other thought leaders. Topics have included the Electoral College, Native Americans and the Constitution, and the life and legacy of John Lewis. The Center regularly engages experts for more in-depth exploration of constitutional issues. Recent examples include the National First Amendment Summit, in partnership with nationally recognized free speech organizations FIRE and First Amendment Watch at NYU, to bring together scholars in a series of panels to discuss the most pressing First Amendment issues of the day. The Guardrails of Democracy project, which commissioned leading thinkers from diverse perspectives, identified potential structural, constitutional, and educational reforms. Similarly, the Constitution Drafting Project brought together three teams of leading constitutional scholars to draft and present their ideal constitutions. Through its two podcasts, We the People, a weekly show of constitutional debate, and Live at the National Constitution Center, audio from our live programs at the Center and around the country, the Center's podcasts engage listeners in balanced, timely debate about the Constitution, and feature some of the best legal minds discussing nuanced constitutional issues throughout history and in today's headlines. Constitution Daily, the Center's blog, covers news stories and reflects on important dates in history. It also features contributions from leading Supreme Court journalist Marcia Coyle. Its stories are often picked up by major national outlets, and are an essential resource for the general public, journalists, and educators in breaking down the constitutional news of the day. The Center also reaches millions around the world with its active social media channels, sharing original multimedia content, engaging programming, and news from the institution. In 2022, the National Constitution Center implemented a total redesign of its website to highlight these valuable programs and information. With all of these resources tagged according to relevant constitutional text, users are able to browse all of the Center's content easily, making accessible the best voices on all sides of current and historical constitutional questions and giving learners of all ages the ability to connect relevant constitutional issues with the history, text, and meaning of every provision of the Constitution. LIBERTY MEDAL The National Constitution Center's annual Liberty Medal honors men and women of courage and conviction who strive to secure the blessings of liberty to people around the globe. Established in 1988 to commemorate the bicentennial of the U.S. Constitution and first administered by the National Constitution Center in 2006, the Liberty Medal's roster of recipients includes many of the men, women, and organizations that have shaped and guided the world through the past three decades, including Nelson Mandela, Sandra Day O'Connor, Kofi Annan, Malala Yousafzai, Colin Powell, and more. The 2024 Liberty Medal was given to America's storyteller, documentarian Ken Burns. Capturing the attention of millions every year, the Liberty Medal is a tribute to citizenship and America's constitutional ideals. 15869985 true true false false false false false true false true true false false false false true true false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false true 140 0 true 127 true true true false false false false false false false false false false false X 30 29 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false AL AK AR CA CO CT FL GA HI IL KY ME MD MA MI MN MS MT NH NJ NM NY NC ND OH OK OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WA WV WI X THE ORGANIZATION 2154096739 525 ARCH STREET PHILADELPHIA PA 191061514 X JEFFREY ROSEN PRESIDENT and CEO 40.0 0.0 X X 908574 0 64644 VINCENT STANGO CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER 40.0 0.0 X 430824 0 65749 TOBY STOCK CHIEF STRATEGY OFFICER 40.0 0.0 X 229154 0 24308 CHRISTINE DONNELLY VP OF FINANCE 40.0 0.0 X 199969 0 41353 ANN STONE VP OF COMMUNICATIONS 40.0 0.0 X 192425 0 20228 LAUREN SYLLING VP OF DEVELOPMENT 40.0 0.0 X 193188 0 8884 THOMAS DONNELLY CHIEF SCHOLAR 40.0 0.0 X 185214 0 8913 Jen Kniele SR Director of Events 40.0 0.0 X 172956 0 15065 Doug DeVos EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Mike George VICE CHAIRMAN 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Dr Anita L Allen JD PhD BOARD OF TRUSTEES 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Matthew W Barzun BOARD OF TRUSTEES 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Miguel Mike Bezos BOARD OF TRUSTEES 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Kenneth C Frazier BOARD OF TRUSTEES 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Elizabeth Preate Havey BOARD OF TRUSTEES 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Richard M Horowitz BOARD OF TRUSTEES 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Drew Katz BOARD OF TRUSTEES 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Jennifer Khoury BOARD OF TRUSTEES 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Hon Cheryl Ann Krause BOARD OF TRUSTEES 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Paul Levy BOARD OF TRUSTEES 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Hon J Michael Luttig BOARD OF TRUSTEES 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 M Elizabeth Magill BOARD OF TRUSTEES 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Donald McCree BOARD OF TRUSTEES 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Hon Theodore A McKee BOARD OF TRUSTEES 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Hank Meijer BOARD OF TRUSTEES 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Dikembe Mutombo BOARD OF TRUSTEES 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Jan Neuharth BOARD OF TRUSTEES 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Jennifer Newstead BOARD OF TRUSTEES 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Derrick A Roman BOARD OF TRUSTEES 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 David Rubenstein BOARD OF TRUSTEES 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 William R Sasso Esq BOARD OF TRUSTEES 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Jay Shah BOARD OF TRUSTEES 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Gregg Sherrill BOARD OF TRUSTEES 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 William A Slaughter Esq BOARD OF TRUSTEES 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Sheldon Stone BOARD OF TRUSTEES 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 L Frederick Sutherland BOARD OF TRUSTEES 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Ali Velshi BOARD OF TRUSTEES 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 2512304 0 249144 10 false true false Flatiron Building Company Inc 5189-91 Ridge Ave PHILADELPHIA PA 19128 Construction 5945577 1 1324756 1336188 13250681 57600 15911625 ADMISSIONS 900099 2590577 1240150 1350427 OTHER PROGRAMS 900099 935258 935258 MEMBERSHIP DUES 900099 224544 224544 3750379 2046452 2046452 0 0 0 0 0 3784787 2236040 1548747 1548747 1548747 24750 1324756 754884 -730134 -730134 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 22527069 2399952 1350427 2865065 0 0 0 0 1292654 746844 429471 116339 0 8183823 4688610 2698838 796375 159219 96328 55458 7433 901263 547325 313920 40018 472474 286927 164568 20979 0 55842 569 55273 83980 83980 0 0 0 1852151 1645803 206348 405239 402604 1621 1014 717251 479647 130223 107381 153318 153318 0 1815084 1812908 2176 360887 253877 96318 10692 0 0 6100 6100 0 3899880 3704886 155995 38999 441440 419368 17658 4414 EXIBITS & PROGRAMMING 678075 614425 16132 47518 BANK FEES & INTEREST 94743 94743 CONTINGENCY 125234 16149 109085 OTHER EXPENSE 2957 397 2560 21701614 15869985 4640467 1191162 500 500 13028806 13138606 10345382 12609281 113173 522857 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 107414 84397 169963561 96856520 74734567 73107041 64945976 78766629 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 163275818 178229311 1575090 2747117 0 0 1326308 748581 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2901398 3495698 X 113707416 121004629 46667004 53728984 160374420 174733613 163275818 178229311 825455 13533738 X false true X true false X 13967314 9048794 17945595 15444541 15911625 72317869 0 0 13967314 9048794 17945595 15444541 15911625 72317869 14856940 57460929 1588946 1505589 1594895 1870821 2046452 8606703 0 0 80924572 12206836 0.71005 0.65530 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED X X X false 64990574 17012799 3700000 78303373 60422128 7868446 3300000 64990574 73443202 -9721074 3300000 60422128 63213001 13190201 2960000 73443202 62576869 3511132 2875000 63213001 0.65000 0.35000 false false 11510280 11510280 62767156 21438362 41328794 0 0 0 49240227 38350380 10889847 46445898 37067778 9378120 73107041 0 0 X 36815691 13533738 754884 14288622 22527069 22527069 22456498 754884 754884 21701614 21701614 PART III, LINE 4: THE NATIONAL CONSTITUTION CENTER MAINTAINS A LIMITED BUT HIGHLY SIGNIFICANT ARTIFACT COLLECTION.

However, income from certain activities not directly related to the Center's tax-exempt purpose is subject to taxation as unrelated business income. In addition, the Center has been classified as an organization other than a private foundation under Section 509(a)(1). GAAP requires entities to evaluate, measure, recognize and disclose any uncertain tax positions.
