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.

Women in Film & Video (WIFV) provided more than 200 programs during the 2023-24 program year to satisfy the PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT and GENERAL EDUCATION needs of its members and public attendees. Most members attend multiple events per program year. All WIFV programs are open to the general public and we had more than 3500 non-members attend the Wednesday Ones, Roundtables, master classes, special interest workshops, and ScriptDC. The meetings present industry leaders who share their insights and provide attendees with info to hone their skills to become better freelancers, employers, and employees. Professional development programs were hosted primarily online from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024. We found a broader geographic representation since attendees didn't have to deal with commuting. WIFV nominates films annually for inclusion into the National Film Registry. WIFV continues its fiscal sponsorship program to support women-created media and added new projects to that program. Fiscally-sponsored projects received funds from a variety of individuals, foundations, and government entities.

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
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.
