Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Hispanic scholarships and education programs.

  • Scholarships:The Youth Scholarship program funds new and renewable scholarships to eligible Latino students so that they can pursue rewarding trade and professional careers. Since our founding, more than 300 young women and men have received $1,450,000 in financial assistance. Scholarhsip recipients participate in workshops to develop soft skills and networking.

    Expenses $233,858 · Grants $205,505

  • Grant to Non-Profit: LAWA joined with a local business and hosted an event that included many community partners and business leaders. The event provided education and awareness of LAWA's programs and impact on the community. The proceeds from the fundraiser were split evenly with another local non-profit.

    Expenses $188,395 · Grants $113,294

  • High School Series:The High School Series workshops were launched in 2010. These free bilingual workshops are held at local community colleges and universities and are designed to help Latino families prepare for post-secondary education. Informational sessions include academic and social development, career pathways, college admissions, college applications, financial aid, networking, and mentoring. Since their inception, more than 1,800 teens and their caregivers have benefited from our workshops.

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.

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.

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 13 October 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.
