Mission

NEW ERA CREATIVE SPACE INC. (NECS) IS A COMMUNITY-BASED EDUCATIONAL ORGANIZATION WITH THE MISSION TO DEVELOP CREATIVE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS THAT ARE INCLUSIVE AND ACCESSIBLE TO ALL, PROMOTE EXCELLENCE, AND EMPOWER YOUTH AND THEIR FAMILIES TO WORK TOWARD THEIR HIGHEST POTENTIAL. WE OFFER CLASSES THAT STIMULATE CURIOSITY AND FOSTER JOY, LOVE OF LEARNING, AND CREATIVE EXPLORATION IN ORDER TO EMPOWER THE NEXT GENERATION OF VISIONARY THINKERS.

  • IN 2024, NECS' COMMUNITY PROGRAMS IMPACTED THE LIVES OF 525 CHILDREN, YOUTH, AND 1,403 OTHER COMMUNITY MEMBERS THROUGH ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN PROGRAMS AND ATTENDANCE AT PERFORMANCES. ACROSS 69 COMMUNITY OFFERINGS, NECS INSPIRED PARTICIPANTS TO EXPLORE CREATIVITY, COLLABORATE WITH OTHERS, AND STRENGTHEN CONNECTIONS TO THEMSELVES, THEIR PEERS, AND THEIR WIDER COMMUNITY. SUMMER WAS FILLED WITH JOY AS WE WELCOMED OVER 30 ENTHUSIASTIC STUDENTS TO OUR NEW DOWNTOWN PEEKSKILL LOCATION, THE HEART OF LOCAL ACTIVITIES. FOR SIX WEEKS, LAUGHTER AND ADVENTURE FILLED THE AIR AS STUDENTS ROASTED S'MORES, PLAYED GAMES, HIKED, SWAM, GARDENED, AND EXPLORED THE WATER THROUGH PADDLEBOARDING AND KAYAKING. DIVIDED INTO EXPLORERS (K-2ND GRADE), DISCOVERERS (3RD-5TH GRADE), AND PATHFINDERS (MIDDLE SCHOOL), STUDENTS EMBRACED NEW CHALLENGES EVERY DAY. THIS YEAR'S SPECIAL HIGHLIGHT WAS OUR GUEST NUTRITIONIST, WHO TAUGHT THE IMPORTANCE OF HEALTHY EATING AND GUIDED STUDENTS IN PREPARING MEALS FOR SENIORS AT THE PEEKSKILL NUTRITION CENTER. OVER SPRING BREAK, OUR YOUTH EMBARKED ON A TRANSFORMATIVE JOURNEY TO ALABAMA AND ATLANTA, REAFFIRMING THE VITAL ROLE OF TRUTH-TELLING IN TEACHING YOUTH ABOUT JUSTICE. FIVE STUDENTS AND THREE ADULTS TRAVELED TO DEEPEN THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF HISTORY, BEGINNING IN ATLANTA WITH VISITS TO THE KING CENTER AND THE HUMAN RIGHTS MUSEUM, WHERE THEY ALSO ENGAGED IN MEANINGFUL DIALOGUE WITH CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVIST AND ARTIST MASUD OLUFANI. IN ALABAMA, OUR STUDENTS SPENT FOUR IMMERSIVE DAYS EXPLORING MONTGOMERY, SELMA, AND BIRMINGHAM, WALKING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF HISTORY AND LEARNING FIRSTHAND FROM HISTORIANS, ARTISTS, AND ACTIVISTS. THIS EXPERIENCE WAS MORE THAN A TRIP-IT WAS AN ACT OF BEARING WITNESS, CONNECTING THE PAST TO THE PRESENT, AND EMPOWERING THE NEXT GENERATION TO CARRY FORWARD THE WORK OF JUSTICE. MAY 1 MARKED AN EXCITING NEW CHAPTER; WE SIGNED A LEASE FOR OUR NEW LOCATION AT 203 ESTHER STREET IN PEEKSKILL NECS IS THRILLED THAT OUR NEW SPACE IS OPEN AND TRANSFORMING INTO A VIBRANT COMMUNITY HOME. WHILE WE CONTINUE TO IMPROVE AND UPDATE THE FACILITY, IT'S ALREADY BECOMING A HUB FOR CREATIVITY, EMPOWERMENT, AND CONNECTION. WE CAN EXPAND OUR PROGRAMS AND SERVICES BY DEDICATING CLASSROOMS AND OFFICE SPACES, THEREBY ENHANCING OUR ABILITY TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY.

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.
