What it reported doing in 2025
2025 form 990 ez part iii line 28 accomplishments production of a film and book in this era of political tension, when civic culture is fractured and when the value of the liberal arts is questioned, a message from 1963 has particular resonance today. Twenty-seven days before he was assassinated, president kennedy came to amherst college to honor the poet robert frost. He spoke of the relationship between poetry and power and of a view shared with frost that power must be exercised, but wiselytempered by a moral restraint inspired by the arts and a liberal education. And, he spoke of the obligation of those given a running start in life to serve the public interest. Reunion '64 brought those messages forward through production of a film, jfk: the last speech, a book of the same title, a draft teachers' guide, and a website, jfkthelastspeech.org, and in 2023, the commissioning of a new symphony, jfk: the last speech, by composer adolphus hailstork, that premiered at the Colorado music festival. It was subsequently performed by the dallas symphony orchestra, the amherst symphony orchestra, and the yale philharmonia. The film continues to be shown and also ordered as a dvd. Books, ebooks, and audiobooks continue to be ordered, and the website updated. During the tax year 1 may 2025 to 30 april 2026, a letter of agreement was signed with douglas anderson, artistic director of the town hall theater in middlebury, Vermont, for the purpose of developing a play, with the working title frost/kennedy. The president of the board of reunion 64, inc, neil bicknell, serves as the producer and mr. Anderson as the advisor. They are developing the prospectus that will be distributed to potential playwrights and theaters. They contacted several regional theaters, including the williamstown theatre festival, williamstown, Massachusetts, to find the best fit for this project.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 99% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.

- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
