Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

The mission of Heartland Chamber Music (HCM) is to connect, engage, and inspire students of all ages and backgrounds through a lifetime of music education and performance.

  • The Heartland Chamber Music (HCM) Festival, in collaboration with the Midwest Trust Center, was hosted from July 28, 2023 to August 5, 2023. With 15 esteemed faculty members, HCM welcomed more than 100 students ranging in age from 7 to 50 while representing diverse geographic regions across the United States. The festival was boosted by the presence of the Parker Quartet as the artists in residence. 8 highly gifted students (the Festival Scholars) received a full scholarship to the Festival and an additional 10 students were invited to play in the Camerata Orchestra. These students also had the opportunity to perform on Kansas Public Radio, further amplifying their exposure and celebrating their achievements. on top of this, HCM awarded more than 30 additional students with need and merit-based financial aid to attend the Festival.

    Expenses $104,794

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

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.
