City Partnership - Friends of IFCC is collaborating with the City of Portland Oregon's Bureau of Parks and Recreation (PP&R) to revitalize Interstate Firehouse Cultural Center (IFCC). A former firehouse, IFCC was converted to an arts center in 1982 and served as a home for Black arts and culture for decades, but is now too small and outdated to operate sustainably. FoIFCC is currently partnering with the City on a Feasibility Study that will create a path for the building's renovation. FoIFCC is also partnering with the CIty on a Grant and Residency program for artists to utilize the IFCC building. As part of this program, the Resident Artists host numerous free public/community events at IFCC. Since 2021, the IFCC Grant and Residency program has supported 18 artists and will support an additional 16 by March 2025. Past recipients of the IFCC Grant and Residency have stated in their exit surveys that the program was "transformational and life-changing" for their careers and creative output. 0 6275 Artist-in-Residence Showcase & Honor Black Portland-FoIFCC is hosting free public events that showcase visual, performing, and interdisciplinary art work and bring community members together. In December 2023, FoIFCC hosted an event to highlight the range of creativity among the IFCC Artists-in-Residence. For example, four visual artists installed their work in the gallery, which guests enjoyed along with food and beverages provided by local Black establishments. Afterwards, the audience of about 80 people sat down in the theater for a program featuring nine other performing artists and musicians. The event partnered with the City African-American Network (CAAN), which "builds a common bond of fellowship among Black employees who honorably serve the City of Portland." As part of the December 2023 event, CAAN gave out their third annual Honor Black Portland awards. Events like these are the primary way that FoIFCC activates the IFCC building in order to build momentum for its renovation. Many expenses associated with this program occurred in the 2024 tax year rather than 2023. 0 6250 12525 Jeana Woolley President 1 0 0 0 Antoinette Edwards Secretary 1 0 0 0 Cynthia Sulaski Treasurer 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 OR Prentice Onayemi 5006 NE Mallory Ave Portland OR 97211 3478788475 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 102300 102300 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 102300 102300 0 102300 0 0 0 0 0 0 102300 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Fiscal Sponsorship fees for portion of year non tax exempt;3750^Total;3750^ Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 24 Description;EOY Amount^Grant receivable;27300^Total;27300^ First filing for our organization.
