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. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
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.

2022 THE FARM AT BLACK MOUNTAIN COLLEGE, CO-CURATED BY DAVID SILVER AND BRUCE JOHANSEN, WILL BE ON VIEW AT BMCM+AC IN ASHEVILLE FROM SEPT 2024-JAN 2025. BUILT FROM A DECADE'S WORTH OF ORIGINAL ARCHIVAL RESEARCH, THE EXHIBITION FOLLOWS RENEGADE STUDENTS, FACULTY, FAMILIES, FARMERS, AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS AS THEY START AND SUSTAIN A CAMPUS FARM IN THE 1930S, BUILD A BETTER FARM IN THE '40S, AND WATCH IT ALL COLLAPSE IN THE '50S. THE EXHIBITION ESTABLISHES A NEW HISTORY OF BMCONE THAT SPOTLIGHTS THE VITAL CONTRIBUTIONS STUDENTS MADE TO THE FARM AND COLLEGE; THE WAR-TIME EFFORTS MADE BY AN ALL-FEMALE STUDENT BODY TO BUILD THE LAKE EDEN FARM; AND THE MANY LONG-LASTING COLLABORATIONS BETWEEN THE COLLEGE AND THE COMMUNITY, SHATTERING THE MYTH THAT BMC WAS DIVORCED AND DISTANT FROM ITS NEIGHBORS. FINALLY, THE EXHIBITION SHOWS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN COMMUNAL LIVING IS NO LONGER COMMUNAL, AND OFFERS THE FIRST EVER DETAILED ACCOUNT OF THE FALL OF THE COLLEGE, A DRAMATIC AND OFTEN DANGEROUS STORY.
The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.
Taxable family
From Schedule R Parts I, III and IV: entities that legally are the filer, and taxable partnerships, corporations and trusts it is related to. These record ownership and control, not shared board members or money.

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.
