Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

317 Main creates an environment for musical enrichment centered on respect, encouragement, and support for musicians of all ages and abilities. 317 Main contributes to the vibrancy of our communities by offering extraordinary music education at our Yarmouth studios, engaging diverse populations through partnership programs, and supporting the creative economy through collaborative partnerships and hiring local artists.

Activities or mission (Part I)

317 Main is a cultural arts organization dedicated to building community through music education, events, and performance.

  • 317 Main's largest program service is providing music education opportunities for students of all ages and abilities at our Yarmouth studios. In 2025, 317 Main provided private and group lessons, as well as ensembles, classes, workshops, and performance opportunities to more than 1,800 students and music lovers throughout the year. Music students range in age from infant to 90 years old and come to 317 Main from 40+ different towns in southern and central Maine. Focus areas for FY25 included continued growth of our programs, expanding our performance options, and utilizing our Founders Hall more efficiently. We continue to build "Little Roots" early childhood music education program for children ages of birth to 8 years old and our "Deep Roots" program for people aged 55 and older which includes group singing, ensembles, and dance programs. 317 Main also focused on creating more intimate learning opportunities in our free partnership program designed to bring music education and music enrichment opportunities to disadvantaged populations, as well as other individuals of all ages who otherwise would not have access to music. We do this by forging meaningful collaborations and partnerships with public and private schools, social service organizations that support underserved populations and senior citizen organizations. Our partnership program in FY25 grew its schedule that was maintained in FY24.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
