What The Barker Welfare Foundation does
Program
Under an agreement dated june 28, 1968 (the "1968 agreement"), the foundation donated property to the city of michigan city (the "city") to establish the barker civic center. Title to the barker mansion was subsequently transferred to the city in accordance with the 1968 agreement. During july 2021, under the terms of a transfer agreement, the city and the foundation agreed that the city shall transfer all property conveyed under the 1968 agreement to a newly formed limited liability company known as the barker mansion llc (the "llc"). The llc was incorporated in the state of delaware during june 2021 and the foundation is the sole member of the llc. The authorized purpose of the llc is to own, operate and preserve the barker mansion for charitable and educational purposes. The foundation manages the llc, appoints officers and directors and is allocated 100% of the net income or net loss of the llc.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $82M to $106M (+29%).
Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
