Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The Victoria Theater Arts Center builds community power by providing a creative home that incubates the art and amplifies the voices of all people in the neighborhood.

  • Arts and Culture Programming - the opening of a physical space allowed us to begin producing a wide variety of community-focused arts events, including Art-B-Ques, a community-created mural, the Artists Membership program, Free Fridays drop-ins, Double Dutch, Artist of the Month, and more.

    Expenses $175,122

  • The Organization continues its work to renovate the former Victoria Theater, which was acquired in July 2021, into a community arts center. The building's grand opening was August 25, 2024, and the Organization hosted a number of events thereafter including community events and rentals to theater, opera, and youth music groups.

    Expenses $174,571

  • Youth Programs - 825 Arts hosts a variety of youth programs including the Youth Arts Leadership Team (YALT) which builds youth leadership and capacity by producing events and programming and Minecraft, a dynamic virtual and in-person gathering space to enliven history, connect, and build community power.

    Expenses $112,316

  • Festivals The Organization co-hosts the Frogtown Arts Festival that features local performers, arts vendors, arts workshops, and food. As part of its youth programming, it also sponsors Speak Out and Lead the city's only entirely youth-led arts festival that brings young people together and spreads their love for art, music, and performance.

    Expenses $37,888

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.

What this page reflects

The registration facts above come from the IRS Business Master File published 13 October 2026 and read 1 November 2026, for every organization at once. Returns through tax year 2024, the newest we have parsed for this organization.
