Mission and programs · 2024

• CREATIVE COMMUNITY COMPAS DELIVERS CREATIVE EXPERIENCES TO 44,000 PEOPLE ANNUALLY THAT SPAN A WIDE RANGE OF PERFORMING, VISUAL, LITERARY, DIGITAL, AND MUSICAL DISCIPLINES. THE 150+ TEACHING ARTISTS AND ENSEMBLES WHO MAKE UP OUR ROSTER DELIVER IN-PERSON AND VIRTUAL COMMUNITY PROGRAMS IN MINNESOTA (SHELTERS, LIBRARIES, YOUTH CENTERS, NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS THAT CENTER PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES AND/OR MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES, JUSTICE PROGRAMS, OLDER ADULT CENTERS, ETC.). TEACHING ARTISTS REPRESENT MORE THAN 40 DIFFERENT CULTURAL AND RACIAL BACKGROUNDS AND BRING YEARS OF EXPERIENCE THAT IGNITE PARTICIPANTS' CREATIVITY, WHETHER PROGRAMS ARE WORKSHOPS, PERFORMANCES, OR LONGER RESIDENCIES. NO MATTER THE LENGTH OF THE PROGRAM, COMPAS ENSURES THAT EACH PARTICIPANT FULLY EXPERIENCES THE ART FORM.

• CREATIVE CLASSROOM: MORE THAN 22,000 STUDENTS FROM KINDERGARTEN THROUGH 21 YEARS OF AGE ARE OFFERED THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK DIRECTLY WITH A PROFESSIONALLY TRAINED COMPAS TEACHING ARTIST TO LEARN AN ART FORM THAT IS SELECTED BY EDUCATORS AND STUDENTS TO BEST MEET THEIR NEEDS. THE RANGE IN ART FORMSINCLUDES PERFORMING, VISUAL, LITERARY, DIGITAL, AND MUSICAL DISCIPLINES AND IS OFTEN CONNECTED TO STATE CURRICULUM GUIDELINES. COMPAS'S TEACHING ARTISTS WORK WITHIN EDUCATIONAL SETTINGS (TRADITIONAL AND NON-TRADITIONAL), OUT-OF-SCHOOL-TIME PROGRAMS AND SUMMER SCHOOL PROGRAMS. STUDENTS DEVELOP THEIR OWN ARTMAKING ABILITIES WHILE PARTICIPATING IN MAKING AN ORIGINAL PIECE OF ART IN THEIR SCHOOL SETTING. THIS PROCESS HELPS PARTICIPANTS ADVANCE THEIR CRITICAL THINKING ABILITIES.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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
