Mission and programs · 2025

Primary exempt purpose

Telling My Story is a non-profit organization that breaks down walls between socially isolated individuals and their communities through collaborative creative engagement. We use theater and the arts as a medium for social reflection and relationship building. Our programs develop self-awareness and communication skills with populations behind visible and invisible social walls such as those created by incarceration, addiction and poverty. Through writing and performing, people behind walls are empowered to reclaim their own voices and strengths.

  • Polarization and Isolation was conducted with a dozen participants in Feb-Mar 2025 as a way to support emotional resilience in dealing with stress from the Nov 2024 election. A public performance, attended by several dozen people, was conducted at the Bugbee Senior Center in White River Junction Vermont.

    Expenses $3,100

  • In June 2025, Telling My Story conducted its annual Housing Insecurity workshop. Participants included community members with personal experience of housing insecurity and those who provide direct support services. The workshop culminated in a public performance at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Norwich.

    Expenses $8,400 · Grants $5,000

  • At the end of Sept 2025, Telling My Story ran a program that served as the kick-off to a conference sponsored by the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Center for the Advancement of Rural Health Equity, with a public performance on Sept 30. Particpants included both users and providers of rural health services.

    Expenses $10,500 · Grants $7,500

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.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 2 November 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

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

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.
