Mission and programs · 2024

• The Harriman-Jewell Series continues to bring the world's foremost stars in classical music to Kansas City. In the recently completed 2024-25 season, we offered 13 performances and 20 educational events, more than 250 artists appeared in our programming, and we served 17,776 individuals across the Kansas City area. In 2024-2025 we celebrated our 60th Anniversary of showcasing high-quality artists from around the world to local audiences. Some notable presentations included our opening event in Helzberg Hall of the Kauffman Center of the Performing Arts featuring pianist Khatia Buniatishvili, Itzhak Perlman with an ensemble of Klezmer musicians, Joyce DiDonato singing with ensemble King's Return, the Czech National Symphony Orchestra, and the Ballet Folklorico De Mexico, to name a few. We sought programming that was varied and included a multidisciplinary lineup of dance, symphony orchestras, opera stars, instrumentalists, jazz and chamber musicians. Most notable for our organization, last season we established Harriman-Jewell Series (the Series) as an independent 501c3 entity to best fulfill our mission to bring extraordinary artistic experiences to Kansas City. William Jewell College formed the Series as a college department in 1965, but our growth has allowed us to sustain our operations independently from the College and provides us the opportunity to independently manage our operations into the future. Externally, this shift will have little impact; however, operationally it allows the Series financial independence and independent Board governance. The Series staff remains in place which will aid in a seamless transition of operations. We are honored that our donor base has remained loyal to the Series throughout this transition, and they have shown their enthusiasm and support for this next step.

  Expenses $798

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Listed in Part VII

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.

Grants on this return

No itemized grants to organizations on this return.
