Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

THE CHIPPEWA VALLEY CULTURAL ASSOCIATION (CVCA) WAS FORMED IN 1976 TO ACCOMPLISH TWO MAIN GOALS: (1) TO SAVE THE OLD MCDONELL MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING FROM DESTRUCTION AND RESTORE IT AS A VENUE FOR THE CREATIVE INDUSTRY IN THE CHIPPEWA VALLEY; AND (2) TO PROVIDE A VENUE AND AN OPPORTUNITY FOR LOCAL ARTISTS, PERFORMERS, WRITERS AND CREATIVE PRODUCERS TO EXPLORE, GROW AND SHARE THEIR TALENTS WITH OTHERS IN THE REGION AND BEYOND. ADDITIONALLY, THE CVCA SEEKS TO BRING IN GIFTED INDIVIDUALS AND GROUPS FROM OUTSIDE THE REGION AS WELL WITH THE VISION OF EXPOSING CHIPPEWA VALLEY RESIDENTS TO THE TALENTS OF PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.

Activities or mission (Part I)

TO RENOVATE AND PRESERVE A HISTORIC BUILDING TO PROVIDE A CULTURAL CENTER IN ORDER TO STIMULATE COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT AND INTEREST IN ALL FORMS OF THE ARTS

  • OUR COMMITMENT TO THE ARTS WAS EVIDENT IN THE 62 EVENING OR WEEKEND PERFORMANCES, WITH OVER 45% OF THEM SPOTLIGHTING LOCAL PERFORMERS. THESE EVENTS NOT ONLY SHOWCASED THE INCREDIBLE TALENT WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY BUT ALSO BROUGHT US TOGETHER TO CELEBRATE THE ARTS. ADDITIONALLY, OUR THIRTEEN DAYS OF MATINEE PERFORMANCES DREW SOLID AUDIENCES, FURTHER HIGHLIGHTING THE COMMUNITYS ENTHUSIASM FOR THE ARTS. THESE MATINEE PERFORMANCES BROUGHT MOTORCOACH TOURS FROM WISCONSIN AND MINNESOTA AS WELL AS MET A DEMAND FOR WEEKDAY ENTERTAINMENT OPTIONS FOR OUR LOCAL SENIORS WITH MANY ASSISTED LIVING FACILITIES AND GROUP HOMES TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET OUT AND ENJOY LIVE THEATER.

    Expenses $143,867 · Revenue $168,135

  • WE ARE PARTICULARLY PROUD OF OUR EFFORTS IN ARTS EDUCATION AND OUTREACH. NEARLY 1,000 YOUTH, AGES 5 TO 18, PARTICIPATED IN EDUCATIONAL EVENTS SUPPORTED BY THE HEYDE CENTER, NURTURING THE NEXT GENERATION OF ARTISTS AND ART ENTHUSIASTS.

    Expenses $2,986 · Revenue $6,130

  • OUR CENTER ALSO HOSTED 32 DAYS OF SPECIAL EVENTS, FROM BUSINESS PARTIES TO WEDDINGS AND CELEBRATIONS OF LIFE, PROVIDING A SPACE FOR OUR COMMUNITY TO COME TOGETHER IN JOY AND REMEMBRANCE. BEYOND THESE MAJOR EVENTS, WE HOSTED BOOK READINGS, VISUAL ART EXHIBITS, SMALLER MEETINGS, AND 13 ARTS CLASSES FOR ADULTS, ENSURING THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE AT THE HEYDE CENTER.

    Expenses $6,518 · Revenue $10,437

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

Taxable family

From Schedule R Parts I, III and IV: entities that legally are the filer, and taxable partnerships, corporations and trusts it is related to. These record ownership and control, not shared board members or money.

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.
