Addendum Applies:
No
Dear Applicant:
This modifies our letter of the above date in which we stated that you
would be treated as an organization that is not a private foundation until the
expiration of your advance ruling period.
Your exempt status under section 501.(a) of the Internal Revenue Code as an
organization described in section 501(c)(3) is sti1.1 in effect. Based on the
information you submitted, we have determined that you are not a private
foundation within the meaning of section 509(a) of the Code because you are an
organization of the type described in section 509(a)(1) and 170(b)(1)(A)(vi).
Grantors and contributors may rely on this determination unless the
Internal Revenue Service publishes notice to the contrary. However, if you
lose your section 509(a)(1) status, a grantor or contributor may not rely on
this determination if he or she was in part responsible for, or was aware of,
the act or failure to act, or the substantial or material change on the part of
the organization that resulted in your loss of such status, or if he or she
acquired knowledge that the Internal Revenue Service had given notice that you
would no longer be classified as a section 509(a)(1) organization.
If we have indicated in the heading of this letter that an addendum
applies, the addendum enclosed is an integral part of this letter.
Because this letter could help resolve any questions about your private
foundation status, please keep it in your permanent records.
If you have any questions, please contact the person whose name and
telephone nut—bn -er are- shown above-- - ----- ----
Sincerely yours,

2022 City of Carmel Grant Spending
Exhibit G — Impact of $13,000 Grant
With the grant money provided by the City of Carmel during 2022, the
Carmel Community Players were able to bring high quality shows to the
Carmel area at very affordable prices. Our ticket prices are only $16 for
adults and $14 for seniors and students for dramas (an increase of $2) and
20 for adults and $18 for seniors and students for musicals (held the same
for the last 3 years). We also offer season ticket and playhouse pass
options that bring the average cost even lower.
For these prices we have produced some very high quality performances
as recognized by the Indianapolis Encore Association. The Encore
Association is made up of 11 community theaters in the greater
Indianapolis area including Shelbyville, Noblesville, Lebanon, Hendricks
County, Westfield, Carmel, and several theaters in Indianapolis. The
association has judges that go to all the productions and nominate theaters
for best comedy, best drama, best musical, best set design, etc. At the last
awards ceremony held in November at the IMA, the Carmel Community
Theater won several awards for our productions.
We are proud of our ability to provide high quality live theater to our
community and strive to continue to do so in the future. We are also proud
of the City of Carmel for providing support to the arts community. We
acknowledge your support during our curtain speeches, display the City of
Carmel logo in our programs and posters that are posted throughout the
community.
I hope that the relationship between the Carmel Community Players and
the City of Carmel will continue into the future and feel strongly that the
community receives a great value for the grant money.

On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Carmel Community Players, please accept this correspondence as our year-end
report, detailing below how we spent the $13,350 we received from the 2022 City of Carmel Arts Grant.
This coming year will mark the 301h anniversary for CCP, as we were founded on August 16, 1993. Over this period, CCP has
performed over 150 plays, musicals and cabarets, with more than 1000 members of the community collectively spending more
than 150,000 hours volunteering for CCP. We are planning to commemorate this milestone with a major funding -raising event
in August.
2022 was another successful year for CCP, marked by several theatre awards and critical acclaim. As Carmel's oldest all -
volunteer community theatre, our success can be credited in no small part to the impact of the grant dollars received from the
City of Carmel. We remain more grateful than ever to be part of a community which provides such staunch support for the Arts.
