USING MUSIC AS THE CATALYST, THE DICK AND JANE PROJECT INSPIRES MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS TO WRITE.
-
WE, THE CHANGE: LAUNCHED IN 2021 AS A YEAR ROUND ARTS-BASED SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING PROGRAM IN FOUR COLUMBUS CITY SCHOOLS MIDDLE SCHOOLS. UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF A TEAM OF PROFESSIONAL MUSICIANS, PRODUCERS, VIDEOGRAPHERS AND VISUAL ARTISTS, WE MET WITH SMALL GROUPS OF 15 STUDENTS AT EACH SCHOOL, FOR ONE CLASS PERIOD FIVE DAYS A WEEK. TOGETHER THEY CREATED ART ACROSS MULTIPLE GENRES AND MEDIUMS, INCLUDING A PROFESSIONALLY RECORDED SONG, A MUSIC VIDEO, VISUAL ARTWORK, CREATIVE WRITING PIECES, AND SELF ESTEEM FOCUSED VOCAL AND STAGE PERFORMANCE INSTRUCTION. THESE ART PROJECTS EXAMINED NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITY IDENTIFIED BY STUDENTS, WHO WERE THEN ASKED TO DEVELOP A CONCRETE ACTION PLAN TO POSITIVELY IMPACT THEIR LOCAL COMMUNITY. FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE PROJECT, THROUGH A STUDENT-LED AND STUDENT-DEFINED SERVICE PROJECT, PARTICIPANTS DREW CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THEIR OWN LIVED EXPERIENCES AND ISSUES OF SOCIAL JUSTICE AND EQUITY. OTHER YOUTH/ ADULT PROGRAMMING: OUR YOUTH/ADULT WORKSHOPS INCORPORATE ARTS-BASED SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING PROCESSES TO GUIDE A SMALL GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS THROUGH A CREATIVE PROCESS WITH SUPPORT FROM PROFESSIONAL ARTISTS AND WAV STAFF TRAINED IN TRAUMA-INFORMED SUPPORT. THE CREATIVE PROCESSES RANGE FROM SONGWRITING TO VISUAL ARTS, TO CREATIVE WRITING, TO ORAL HISTORIES, TO VOCAL/ DANCE PERFORMANCE. IN 2023 WE WORKED WITH ADULT GROUPS AT THE FOLLOWING ORGANIZATIONS: GOODWILL, CATCH COURT, OHIO REFORMATORY FOR WOMEN, OHIO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE NETWORK, PATHWAYS TO HEARTLAND, CORNERSTONE OF HOPE, COLUMBUS RECREATION AND PARKS DEPARTMENT, KALEIDOSCOPE AND COLUMBUS CITY SCHOOLS.

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.

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 11 November 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.
