Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

THE VISION OF THE ANNAPOLIS FILM FESTIVAL IS TO ESTABLISH ANNAPOLIS AS A CENTER FOR FILMMAKERS TO SHOWCASE DIFFERENT GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES AND INDEPENDENT THOUGHT TO A VARIETY OF AUDIENCES THROUGH THEIR WORK. THE LONG TERM GOAL IS TO ENHANCE GROWTH, BOTH CULTURALLY AND ECONOMICALLY, TO THE ANNAPOLIS AREA AND THROUGHOUT THE REGION.

  • FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2025, THE ANNAPOLIS FILM FESTIVAL ACHIEVED SEVERAL KEY MILESTONES ACROSS PROGRAMMING, OPERATIONS, MARKETING, AND AUDIENCE ENGAGEMENT. ON THE PROGRAMMING FRONT, WE SUCCESSFULLY INTRODUCED THE FAITH EXPERIENCE, A NEW THEMATIC STRAND THAT DREW DIVERSE AUDIENCES AND SPARKED MEANINGFUL DIALOGUE. WE ALSO CONTINUED TWO OF OUR MOST POPULAR EVENTS-THE WOMEN'S PANEL AND THE DIRECTOR'S PANEL-WHICH BROUGHT TOGETHER ACCLAIMED INDUSTRY VOICES FOR IN-DEPTH DISCUSSIONS THAT RESONATED WITH FESTIVALGOERS. OPERATIONALLY, WE STREAMLINED OUR PASS AND TICKET PURCHASING PROCESS ONLINE, CREATING A SMOOTHER, MORE USER-FRIENDLY EXPERIENCE THAT ENCOURAGED ADVANCE SALES AND REDUCED ON-SITE WAIT TIMES. OUR MARKETING EFFORTS PAID OFF WITH A DRAMATIC INCREASE IN SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE AND AUDIENCE RESPONSE, EXPANDING OUR REACH AND ENGAGEMENT ACROSS PLATFORMS. THESE COMBINED EFFORTS CONTRIBUTED TO A 16% INCREASE IN ATTENDANCE OVER THE PREVIOUS YEAR, DEMONSTRATING STRONG AND SUSTAINED GROWTH FOR THE FESTIVAL.

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.
