Activities or mission (Part I)

INSPIRE, EDUCATE, AND ENGAGE THROUGH PHOTOGRAPHY, FILM, AND VIDEO.

  • ON JULY 1, 2023 THE SAN DIEGO MUSEUM OF ART AND (SDMA) MUSEUM OF PHOTOGRAPHIC ARTS (MOPA) MERGED INTO ONE ENTITY, MOPA AND SDMA, AS NON-PROFIT CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS IN BALBOA PARK, ARE BOTH COMMITTED TO INSPIRING AND EDUCATING THROUGH THE COLLECTION AND PRESENTATION OF THE FINEST EXAMPLES OF ART. THE MISSION STATEMENTS OF SDMA AND MOPA REFLECT THE FACT THAT THE TWO INSTITUTIONS HAVE, THROUGHOUT THEIR ORGANIZATIONAL LIFETIMES, SHARED COMMON GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS. THE SAN DIEGO MUSEUM OF ART WILL NOW HOUSE A NEW DEPARTMENT CALLED THE MUSEUM OF PHOTOGRAPHIC ARTS AT THE SAN DIEGO MUSEUM OF ART, FOCUSED SOLELY ON PHOTOGRAPHIC ARTS. MOPA'S EXISTING COLLECTION WILL JOIN SDMA'S COLLECTION, PROVIDING VISITORS WITH A MORE COMPREHENSIVE VIEW OF THE ART FORM.

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

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

Not present in the most recent drop.

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.

What this page reflects

The registration facts above come from the IRS Business Master File published 9 November 2026 and read 9 November 2026, for every organization at once. Returns through tax year 2023, the newest we have parsed for this organization.
