We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

James Dick Foundation for the Performing Arts operates Round Top Festival Institute, a center for performance and learning, which assembles music mentors with students and experts in arts/humanities to present cultural programs for student and public benefit.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Foster cultural development at Round Top Festival Institute, a center for performance & learning.

  • The James Dick Foundation for the Performing Arts was established as a school to (a) conduct education and training for young performers, (b) provide and develop an advanced level of curriculum, faculty and facilities for instruction and year-round public performances and (c) conduct festivals, workshops and other educational activities for artistic training, research, and education of the general public.See Schedule O for additional details. Round Top Music Festival: Annually, one hundred or so advanced young music students representing an average of eleven countries come to study under the organization's accomplished music faculty and six different conductors from around the world. The young artists work with the faculty to study and improve their instrumental and performance skills and learn and perform chamber music programs and a new orchestral concert each week. Their instruction is tuition-free. The students pay a nominal fee to cover part of their room and board. The James Dick Foundation provides housing and meals to the young artists, faculty, and guest conductors on our 110-acre campus. The August-to-April Concert Series includes a variety of performances including piano recitals, bell ringers, and brass concerts; instrumental ensembles from various universities; the Nutcracker Ballet danced by children for children of all ages; and various choral groups. These events bring over 5,000 visitors to Festival Hill each year. The events are designed to teach and entertain. Between artistic events, the campus is used for conferences. As part of community outreach, the campus is used for regional high school track meets. The hall is also used by high school bands and choral groups, and for local school graduations. Meeting facilities are also made available to other nonprofits in the area. August-to-April Forum Series: The three forums typically presented each year offer educational and exploratory experiences in the arts and humanities.- Theater Forum at Round Top - The annual three-day forum is designed to heighten the awareness of theater and the world of music through talks and performances by theatrical scholars and practitioners for students, teachers, and the general public. - Herbal Forum at Round Top - The annual two-day forum attracts between two and three hundred plant lovers, gardeners, and herbalists to the campus each year. On the first day, registrants can participate in interactive workshops on various botanical arts and culinary practices, among others. The following day offers a schedule of educational lectures and presentations in the concert hall by professionals on the culinary and medicinal benefits and uses of various herbs, plants, and spices. - Poetry at Round Top - The three-day forum is an annual festival presenting the nation's most exciting and prominent poets. Forum participants experience poetry through readings, workshops, and conversations. Manuscript consultations and workshops are offered to assist students in creative writing programs and aspiring poets from all walks of life in the craft of poetry. The forum also offers an afternoon designed for selected secondary school students and teachers, featuring training through readings and workshops.

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.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Related organizations

From Schedule R Part II, where a filer lists the tax-exempt organizations it is related to by control. It does not record shared board members or money.

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.
