Mission and programs · 2024

Primary exempt purpose

Enriching our Waco community through the art, business, creation, education and exhibition of Independent Film.

  • The Heart of Texas Film Society hosts the Waco Movie Club. This monthly no-cost movie club is an opportunity for Waco area film lovers to gather, discuss films and develop community. Typically, we arrange to watch a film ahead of the meeting, then join in a "book-club" style discussion with attendees.

We hosted 43 events over four days, featuring 140 filmsincluding 9 features, 125 shorts, and 6 music videosfrom 10 countries, including Singapore and Kazakhstan. In this weekend we also included 3 panel discussions on film production topics and a filmmakers tour of the city of Waco. We saw 688 unique attendees through this weekend of film programming

    Expenses $32,628 · Grants $36,500

  • The Heart of Texas Film hosts an annual local film showcase. This is an opportunity for Waco based filmmakers to show their work to an audience, connect with other professional and amateur filmmakers and enhance the network of the film industry in Central Texas.

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.

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.

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.
