Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

films, throwback favorites, and engaging non-film events. Our goal is for The Trust to own the Park Theater building for the community, protect the Theater from outside development, and retain it for the enjoyment of future generations.

Activities or mission (Part I)

The mission of The Park Theater Trust is to refurbish and operate Lafayettes iconic Park Theater building, and to revitalize it into an accessible and inclusive, community-centered cinema, arts and culture hub with programming that includes critically acclaimed (see page 2)

  • Initially called together as a volunteer task force by the City of Lafayette, The Park Theater Trust (TPTT) is a 501(c)(3) Public Benefit corporation. In April 2019, we were awarded seed monies by the Community Foundation of Lafayette (CFL), and in February 2020, we received our formal determination letter from the IRS confirming our tax-exempt status. TPTT has since been the recipient of four additional Excellence Grants by CFL. Primarily due to private donations and grants from family foundations, CFL and other institutions including the City of Lafayette, TPTT raised the $3 million required to purchase the Park Theater property for the community, and closed escrow in December 2021.

    Expenses $31,810

  • Reopening the Park Theater consistently ranks in the top four community concerns a priority of citizens, local businesses, and the City. As an anchor of a revitalized town center, the Park will become a magnet a center for newly released Hollywood movies and classics, independent and foreign films, and creative programming to appeal to all ages. The time is NOW for the Park Theater to resume its rightful place in this newly vibrant scene and shine again in the role for which it was created: Entertaining and engaging the entire Lafayette community.

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.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 2 November 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

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.

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 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.
