Other organizations at this address

1 other organization in the IRS Business Master File lists the same street address. matched by us

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.

Mission and programs · 2025

Primary exempt purpose

Provide underserved markets with access to quality arts programming and to utilize the power of arts-based community development as a tool for individuals from all walks of life to be of one community through a shared arts experience.

  • The 2025 SAJF Festival marked a landmark year of growth and cultural celebration, achieving record-breaking milestones by proudly serving over 10,000 attendees and expanding its bustling marketplace to feature over 100 vibrant vendors alongside 65 juried artists. The festival's massive success was powered by a seamless, high-energy entertainment lineup that kicked off with the Selby Avenue Brass Band parade, followed by a powerhouse roster on the Main Stage-including the W|W Jazz Ensemble, Brio Brass Band, heyArlo, The YUKO MABUCHI Trio, and a headlining set by Cory Henry & The Funk Apostles-all smoothly coordinated via the Selby Avenue & Chatsworth Street N entrance. Concluding with concurrent, packed late-night jam sessions at Walker West and the Multipurpose Hall, the event not only shattered previous attendance benchmarks but also drove significant economic and charitable impact, raising vital funding for local grants, scholarships, and non-profit initiatives to foster a lasting spirit of creative unity.

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.

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

  • Exemption revoked 15 May 2015, reinstated 15 May 2015.

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.
