Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

THE MISSION OF THE SUFFOLK CENTER FOR CULTURAL ARTS IS TO "CULTIVATE, PROMOTE, AND PROVIDE ACCESS TO THE CREATIVE ARTS FOR ALL RESIDENTS AND VISITORS THROUGH PROGRAMS, EDUCATION, AND OUTREACH.". WE VALUE THE NEED FOR ARTISTIC EXPRESSION AND BELIEVE EXPOSURE TO DIVERSE ARTISTIC EXPRESSIONS IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF ANY MODERN THRIVING CITY. WE ALSO VALUE LIFE-LONG LEARNING AND BELIEVE THAT ALL PEOPLE, THROUGHOUT THEIR LIFESPAN, DESERVE ACCESS TO THE CREATIVE, EDUCATIONAL, AND DEVELOPMENTAL OPPORTUNITIES WE CONDUCT THROUGH THE ARTS. FINALLY, WE VALUE COLLABORATION, INCLUSION, AND SUSTAINABILITY, ALL OF WHICH ARE INTERDEPENDENT AND ESSENTIAL TO THE GROWTH OF THE SUFFOLK CENTER, AS WELL AS TO THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN THE SUFFOLK COMMUNITY.

  • THE 2024-2025 SEASON WAS A SUCCESS FOR THE SUFFOLK CENTER FOR CULTURAL ARTS. ALTHOUGH WE ARE VERY PROUD OF ALL THE EVENTS WE CONDUCTED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, INCLUDING THEATRICAL PERFORMANCES, CONCERTS, ART EXHIBITIONS, AND MORE, WE ARE MOST PROUD OF THE IMPACT THAT OUR HUNDREDS OF YOUTH CONTACT HOURS HAD ON OUR COMMUNITY. THE SUFFOLK CENTER ENGAGED THOUSANDS OF YOUTH IN OUR CREATIVE SUMMER CAMPS, EDUCATIONAL MATINEES, AND OUR AWARD WINNING "ARTIST IN SCHOOLS" OUTREACH PROGRAM, ALL OF WHICH PROVIDED MEANINGFUL EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES THROUGH THE ARTS. WE ARE ALSO PROUD OF HOW MUCH WE USED THE ARTS TO SUPPORT THOSE IN NEED. OUR INAUGURAL MAGICAL CHRISTMAS TREE TOUR PROVIDED A WONDERLAND OF TREES DECORATED BY LOCAL BUSINESSES, ORGANIZATIONS, AND CITY DEPARTMENTS THE PUBLIC THEN VOTED FOR THEIR FAVORITE TREES BY PLACING NON-PERISHABLE FOOD DONATIONS UNDER THE TREE OF THEIR CHOICE WE RAISED NEARLY TWENTY-FIVE HUNDRED FOOD ITEMS FOR THE FORKIDS FOOD PANTRY. THE CENTER ALSO HOSTED AN EMPTY BOWLS EVENT IN WHICH NEARLY 300 BOWLS WERE DONATED BY LOCAL POTTERS, RAISING NEARLY EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR OUR LOCAL FOOD BANK. THE SUFFOLK CENTER FOR CULTURAL ARTS AND THE CITY OF SUFFOLK HAVE PARTNERED TO GROW THE SUFFOLK CENTER INTO ONE OF THE CITY'S PRIMARY ATTRACTIONS, AS WELL AS ONE OF THE BIGGEST ASSETS TO THE DOWNTOWN DISTRICT. WE HAVE TRANSFORMED AN ABANDONED HIGH SCHOOL INTO A VIBRANT COMPREHENSIVE CULTURAL AND PERFORMING ARTS CENTER, BRINGING THOUSANDS OF RESIDENTS AND VISITORS TO THE DOWNTOWN AREA, AND SERVING AS AN ASSET THROUGH WHICH THE ARTS ARE USED TO CHANGE LIVES, UPLIFT COMMUNITIES, AND CREATE A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ALL RESIDENTS OF SUFFOLK AND BEYOND.

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

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.
