Mission

The foundation has been organized for the primary purpose to raise donations that will be used to promote appreciation of the arts in Dallas County, Texas. The Foundation will conduct an annual fund raising event to be called the Dallas Art Fair Gala (the Gala). Patrons of the arts community will be invited to make donations through the purchase of tickets to attend this educational event and celebration of the arts. All proceeds from the Gala will be distributed to charitable or educational beneficiaries in the arts community. The charitable and educational beneficiaries of the proceeds from the Gala will be selected each year by the directors of the Foundation based on merit and need.

  • Dallas Art Fair Foundation (DAFF) promotes national and international education and appreciation in art, culture and humanities through fund raising and fund distribution. DAFF provides grants and awards to other charitable organizations. This year, a total of $130,000 was granted to Dallas Contemporary, Dallas Museum of Art,Nasher Sculpture Center, and Booker T. High School for the Performing and Visual Arts through the DAFF benefit gala held in April.

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 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.
