We connect these artists with resources and teach them how to secure funding while building a thriving network in the Twin Cities. Education and preservation of Hip Hop dance practices and their local history is also part of our primary exemption. There was no performance in 2024. Instead we started the Twin Cities Breaking Archive a project focused on digitizing videos of the Minnesota Breakdancing scene. We hired four Archive Technicians and one media reviewer. These five people directly benefitted from the project but the entire Hip-Hop Dance and Hip-Hop culture in Minnesota also benefited from the creation of this open-source and free database. 74333 74333 74333 Mary Ellen Childs Chair and Treasurer 5 0 Magnolia Yang Sao Yia Secretary 5 0 Roosevelt Mansfield Board Member 5 0 Yan Pang Board Member 5 0 Jason Noer Artistic Director and Project Manager 20 30900 false false false false false 0 false false false false MN Jason Noer 428 MINNESOTA ST STE 500 SAINT PAUL MN 55101 6517076907 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 0 0 64479 63250 103250 230979 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 64479 63250 103250 230979 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 230979 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 64479 63250 103250 230979 X Part III General MIXTAPE mistakenly registered as a private foundation in 2022 but was reclassified as a public charity in 2024 because it has consistently received most of its funding from government agencies. Part I, line 16 | Other Expenses:, Amount:| Parking Gas, $274| Rental of Office Space Rental of Venue for 2025 Performance Tax Filings, $2858| Meals with Project Personnel, $177| Hard Drives Adapters Cords Camcorders, $709| I am writing to request that the failure to file and pay Mixtape Dance MNs second annual tax return on time be abated for reasonable cause. Specifically when I filed Mixtape Dance MNs 1023 form requesting tax-exempt status as a nonprofit organization I erroneously failed to request that the organization be classified as a public charity. As a result Mixtape Dance MN was classified as a private foundation. After speaking with potential funders and reviewing the applicable regulations I realized my error. I also determined that Mixtape Dance MN has in fact been a public charity pursuant to Sections 509a1 and 170b1Avi since its inception on April 21 2022. As a result on March 11 2024 I filed a 8940 form requesting Mixtape Dance MN be reclassified as a public charity since its inception. We received confirmation that we have been reclassified as a public charity on August 7 2024 via a letter. I was instructed to wait until I received this confirmation to file my 2023 and 2024 tax returns. I contacted the IRS on May 14 2025 and was told that the reclassification had not been put on my file even though I received a letter see attached document saying the change had taken place. The IRS agent informed me that I had to wait 30 days for the change to take effect and to refile using the attached document. Due to preparations for the annual MIXTAPE performance on June 21 and 22 2025 I was unable to file right away but I am doing so now.
