Activities or mission (Part I)

The Ad Club Foundation funds scholarship programs for a diverse student body studying marketing communications. It provides matching funds for summer internship programs to give a diverse student body agency opportunities where there would otherwise not be any and it sponsors the Rosoff Diversity Award show which celebrates people who are succeeding in creating diverse workplaces in greater Boston, the Women's Leadership Forum, and Media Innovation Day.

  • Scholarship. The foundation supports the awarding of scholarships for marketing and media industries each year. Applications are reviewed and qualified students are provided with matching funds to attend a qualified education institution.

    Expenses $10,500 · Grants $10,500

  • Withheld by Nonprofiteer: this text may name a private individual.

  • Media Innovation Day is a daylong content event covering traditional, new and emerging media, and focusing on the rapid media and marking shifts that are impacting brands.

    Expenses $32,550 · Grants $32,550

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here. A text marked withheld matched a screen for wording that may name a private individual, such as an honorific or "in memory of". Most of what it withholds names no one; it is withheld so that what does is never shown.

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. 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.

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.
