Mission and programs · 2025
Primary exempt purpose
The DMV Music Academy exists to expose, engage, and enrich young people through the transformative power of music.
-
In 2023, we became a multisite operation - expanding to four locations throughout the DMV region (Hyattsville, Takoma Park, DC, and Baltimore) serving 87 students. We have also expanded our school year programming as we started weekly drumline programs at 4 different DC Public Schools serving over 112 students weekly. This year, we added a K-8 school in Baltimore City and are currently in discussions with potential donors to expand the number of schools we serve in DC and Baltimore in the 2024-25 school year. Additionally, we launched a wellness drumming initiative for veterans in the DC metro region in partnership with the Department of Veteran Affairs for Prince George's County, Maryland.
Expenses $11,000 · Grants $8,100

As we finish our ninth year of existence, we can proudly announce that our organization has helped get 41 students into college with music scholarships. In addition, we have expanded our school residencies in Washington DC - now partnering with seven different schools, helping to create and further develop music programs in underserved communities.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Grants made

Auto-Revocation List
Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.
Publication 78
Listed as of 11 November 2026, under deductibility PC.
These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
