What Butterfly Noir Inc does
Mission
Butterfly Noir Inc. is a non-profit arts organization that strives to close the opportunity gap for emerging artists, whose talent is underrepresented in all aspects of the tv, film, and media industry. We aim to provide free and low cost educational workshops, programs, and consulting services for a multi-generational collective of artists that help them develop and publish creative content.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Program Service Accomplishments- Community Arts Workshops: Butterfly Noir Inc. conducted four 6-12 week community arts workshops throughout the year, reaching over 200 participants from underserved communities. These workshops are central to our mission of eradicating the barriers that historically underrepresented artists face due to systemic racism. Acting: Getting Out of Your Head (Virtual): This workshop taught participants techniques to overcome mental barriers and fully embody their roles, fostering an authentic acting experience. Infusing Writing into Activism (Virtual): Participants explored various screenplay and teleplay genres, focusing on issues impacting their communities. This workshop encouraged the integration of activism into creative writing, empowering participants to use storytelling as a tool for social change. Out in the Field: Cinematography (Hybrid): New York City-based cinematographers were invited to learn hands-on techniques for capturing compelling footage, using camera movements and angles to convey emotions and set the tone of a film. This workshop was designed to enhance the technical skills necessary for emerging filmmakers to tell powerful stories.…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2024, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2024, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $6k to $7k (+31%).
