Mission

WE WORK TO CREATE A CULTURE WHERE BLACK, BROWN AND QUEER ARTISTS AND THEIR AUDIENCES CAN COMMUNE, CREATE ART ON THEIR OWN TERMS AND LIVE IN THEIR FULL EXPRESSION AND CULTURAL TRUTHS. WE WILL SUPPORT WORK THAT IS NOT STRICTLY DEFINED BY TRADITIONAL DESIGNATIONS LIKE "OFF-OFF-BROADWAY OR "THEATER". WHILE WE ARE A NYC BASED COMPANY, WE ENCOURAGE ARTISTS TO BE UNBOUND BY GEOGRAPHY OR PHYSICAL BUILDINGS. WE ALSO CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR AUDIENCES TO DEEPEN THEIR KNOWLEDGE, PRACTICE AND INTEREST IN EXPERIMENTAL ART BY BLACK, BROWN AND QUEER ARTISTS.

Who gave

Contributor names are not public for this form type.

Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.

Finances

Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Where the money went

Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.

Donor-advised funds

Donors to individual donor-advised funds are not public. These filings show what the sponsor reports, not who gave.

As reported on Schedule D Part I (and the Form 990 Part IV question “did the organization maintain donor advised funds”). Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
