The Theatre also hosted 58 live events including performances by local arts organizations and professional touring artists.The Theatre is open a minimum of six days a week, offering a variety of motion pictures and performances in a historic setting. The Theatre typically averages more than 67,000 audience members a year. A variety of free or low-cost programming is also offered. These opportunities include the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day Celebration and Holiday Pipes concerts (free admission) and the Kids' Flicks movie series ($3 admission). The Theatre also hosts a free monthly Film Club to build community and foster conversation. The Fargo Theatre's long-term objective is to continue to meet the artistic and entertain needs of the community as the city's population grows.

• The annual Fargo Film Festival receives films submissions from around the world to be juried by community volunteers. The goal of the festival is to celebrate film artistry while connecting local audiences to innovative, independent cinema and the artists responsible for creating it. The 2025 festival received 337 submissions from 36 countries. The juries selected 102 films to play in competition. Festival leaders programmed 4 films to play as invited selections and an additional 53 very short films played as a part of the festival's 2 Minute Movie Contest. Approximately 2,700 patrons attended throughout the festival's 5 days of screenings and events. Forty-five film artists traveled to Fargo to attend their screenings and interact with audiences. These appearances also enabled formal educational opportunities including moderated interviews, panel discussions, and guest academic lectures. There were also many informal opportunities for audience members and local filmmakers to socialize with visiting artists or ask them questions during Q&A sessions.The Fargo Film Festival's long-term objective is to continue providing an exhibition platform for independent filmmakers while giving local audiences educational opportunities and the change to see unique, original, and artistically relevant motion pictures.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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.
