Form 990, Part XI, Line 9 = -$13371 Program 4A Cultural Exhibits Grace Arts Center (GAC) expanded program 4A to include feature documentary films in 2024. Five short films made in 2023 were released in 2024. The first feature film was made in 2024 and released in 2025. Costs of a 2025 feature film to be released in 2026 were also undertaken in 2024. Program 4A service revenue, $35,902, includes cash paid by other charitable organizations and individuals on behalf of GAC for invoices and other costs for five programs. Without those contributions, GAC would have to raise cash to pay those expenses, reduce programs size or cancel program dates for 2024. Program 4A also received in-kind or donated resources. Without these contributions, GAC would have covered these expenses. Examples include contributed venues, sailing assets (twenty-two sailing boats, park space and sailing center access, coaches and sailors), and extensive volunteer professionals (eighty supporting the Street Art Regatta) with an estimated value of $23,944. Professional historical researchers donated hours to the new filmmaking projects, professional filmmakers also donated services, parks and historical sites waived permit fees and supplied venues for three films in production in 2024 totaling $21,500 in value. Program 4B Theatrical Performances Program 4B service revenue, $21,000, includes cash paid by other charitable organizations and individuals on behalf of GAC for invoices and other costs for two (2) original Shakespeare La Florida series theatrical productions. Without those contributions, GAC would have to raise cash to pay those expenses, reduce the programs size or cancel program dates for 2024. Program 4B also received in-kind or donated resources for the completion of two Shakespeare productions in 2024, where normally only one production is mounted. Broward County Public Schools provided support for the presentation of the 2022 original theater production, Merchants of Venice, at Broward Center for the Performing Arts including BCPA theater and professional staff for a day, bussing of children from area public schools for two performances, and compensation for the cast. A new script for Purvis: Othello of Overtown was created in 2024 by GAC director and a contracted playwright which also received in-kind support from Miami-Dade County Public Library System including research and donated video content from Wolfson Archives, part of free public readings of the first draft of the script in both Miami-Dade and Broward Counties. The Purvis production will open in 2026. Donated services, materials and venues in 2024 have a $23,500 value.
