Other organizations at this address

1 other organization in the IRS Business Master File lists the same street address. matched by us

This address is a suite or unit (STE 701). Organizations that share one are often clients of the same office-services firm, accountant or registered agent rather than related to each other.

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

COMMUNITY OF PLAYWRIGHTS, COMPOSERS, LYRICISTS AND LIBRETTISTS DEDICATED TO PROTECTING, INFORMING, AND PROMOTING THE INTERESTS OF DRAMATISTS EVERYWHERE.

Activities or mission (Part I)

THE DRAMATISTS GUILD IS A 501(C)6 TRADE ASSOCIATION WITH 9,000+ MEMBERS ESTABLISHED IN 1919 FOR THE PURPOSES OF PROTECTING AND PROMOTING THE PROFESSIONAL INTERESTS OF AUTHORS OF DRAMATIC AND DRAMATICO-MUSICAL WORKS WRITTEN FOR THE STAGE; TO PROTECT THE AUTHORS' RIGHTS IN SUCH WORKS; TO IMPROVE THE CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH THEIR WORKS ARE CREATED AND PRODUCED; AND TO FORMULATE TYPES OF PRODUCTION CONTRACTS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH WORKS.

  • THE DRAMATISTS GUILD OF AMERICA WAS ESTABLISHED OVER EIGHTY YEARS AGO, AND IS THE ONLY PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATION WHICH ADVANCES THE INTERESTS OF PLAYWRIGHTS, COMPOSERS, LYRICISTS AND LIBRETTISTS WRITING FOR THE LIVING STAGE. THE GUILD HAS OVER 7,000 MEMBERS NATIONWIDE, FROM BEGINNING WRITERS TO THE MOST PROMINENT AUTHORS REPRESENTED ON BROADWAY, OFF-BROADWAY AND IN REGIONAL THEATERS. THE DRAMATISTS GUILD OF AMERICA WAS ESTABLISHED FOR THE PURPOSE OF AIDING DRAMATISTS IN PROTECTING BOTH THE ARTISTIC AND ECONOMIC INTEGRITY OF THEIR WORK. THE GUILD BELIEVES THAT A VIBRANT, VITAL AND PROVOCATIVE THEATER IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE ONGOING CULTURAL DEBATE WHICH INFORMS THE CITIZENS OF A FREE SOCIETY. THE GUILD BELIEVES THAT IF SUCH A THEATER IS TO SURVIVE, THE UNIQUE, IDIOSYNCRATIC VOICES OF BOTH MEN AND WOMEN WHO WRITE FOR IT MUST BE CULTIVATED AND PROTECTED.

The first 25 listed. 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.

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

Not present in the most recent drop.

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.
