Our Board and 501(c)(3)

The Pontiac Transportation Museum is incorporated as a 501(c)(3) – a non-profit organization as recognized by the State of Michigan and Federal Government (“Pontiac Transportation Museum”, non-profit tax ID #92-2137603).  As such we are governed by a Board of Directors. So the creation and growth of this museum is ultimately a project of our board – which gathered some experience from with operating the Pontiac-Oakland Museum and Resource Center in Pontiac, IL since 2010.  This group is responsible for guidance of areas such as:

• Mission and vision
• Capital and operating budgets.
• Annual reports.
• Personnel policies
• Major organizational changes, asset sales, or acquisition
• Creating operating bylaws.
• Guidance/maintenance of the integrity of the organization

We value transparency in our operations.   View a summary of our 2024 Fiscal Year Non-Profit IRS 990 filing here if you have interest.  2024_Tax_Returns[1]   We also undertook to have a third party “financial review” performed for our 2024 balance sheet and revenue/expenses.   See their report here .  PONTIAC TRANSPORTATION MUSEUM-FINAL FS (1)   We would be pleased to provide more of the background detail to this for parties with a specific request.

The Board welcomes any comments or concerns that interested parties might express at admin@pontiactransportationmuseum.org
