We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

We transform lives with the ripple effect of change. We aim to create a world of equality and justice in which every person can express their goals, needs, desires and fears. By teaching communication tools and relationship skills through art-based curriculums, we empower and equip participants to shift their belief systems and become self-advocates so that they can live their best lives and reach their full potential.

Listen, Act, Change Curriculum: Served over 950 young people of promise living in poverty and/or impacted by incarceration. Through interactive workshops focused on healthy relationships, communication skills, and creative self-expression in theater and visual arts, we reached youth across schools, after-school programs, group homes, and juvenile detention facilities throughout Los Angeles County.Advots full-year arts enrichment program at New Village Girls Academy provided students with rotating learning opportunities in knitting, filmmaking, poetry, and leadership development. Through these rotations, participants developed creative skills, self-expression, collaboration, and confidence. Each rotation included hands-on projects and culminates in student showcases, highlighting both artistic growth and leadership development.The Fanny Possibility Fund: Provided college scholarships and ongoing mentoring to alumni of our Relationships 101 program, supporting their continued growth and educational success.Re-Imagine Reentry Program: Offered mentorship, guidance, and access to resources for youth transitioning out of LA County probation lockup facilities, helping them reenter their communities with confidence and purpose.First Annual Impact Report:Advot worked with consultants to revise and strengthen our evaluation methods and to develop new measurement and learning tools, which will be implemented in the 20252026 program year. We also produced our first Annual Impact Report to capture and communicate the outcomes of our work.Team Culture Consultation:Advot worked with a team culture consultant to strengthen organizational practices around diversity, equity, and inclusion. The work focused on culture management, internal communication, and increasing awareness of the racial and cultural identities of the students we serve.Curricular Materials/systems consultation:Advot worked with a consultant to streamline curricular materials and internal systems to improve program consistency and efficiency.Outreach and Expansion:Our team of facilitators expanded to 10 this year and we significantly expanded its outreach by launching the LAC program at five new locations. Successful partnerships resulted in program initiation at the Pomona Tech Center, Boyle Heights Tech Center, North Park High School, and Roosevelt High School. The program was also established at A Place Called Home Community Center, solidifying deeper community engagement and increased access to resources.Conferences:Our Managing Director attended the Rockwood Leadership Institute, bringing new leadership strategies and practices back to the team.The organization strategically invested in professional development to enhance program quality and expand its expertise in youth support. The Program Manager attended the National Mentoring Conference, enabling the integration of evidence-based best practices and the adoption of national standards for mentor training and relationship support into the LAC program. Furthermore, staff attended the Transformation of Youth Justice Symposium, which provided actionable insights on innovative program delivery methods, effective community collaboration models, and current legislative trends in youth-centered system reform.

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
Grants made
No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Other IRS files
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.
