Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Feed the Second Line is committed to building a resilient and sustainable future by strengthening the safety net, preserving culture through paid opportunities, and creating supportive pathways for all generations of culture bearers - uplifting the ones who make our city special.

Activities or mission (Part I)

To support New Orleans culture bearers through job opportunities and a stronger safety net, responding to the needs of the New Orleans cultural community.

  • Hire the Second Line is Feed the Second Lines job creation initiative designed to provide paid opportunities for the culture bearers who keep New Orleans traditions alive. This includes Masking Indians, Baby Dolls, musicians, Social Aid Pleasure Club members, drummers, and other practitioners of New Orleans cultural heritage. The program ensures that culture bearers are compensated for their cultural labor and can continue sharing their craft with the community. Across all Feed the Second Line programming, we hire culture bearers so that every event, workshop, and cultural activation directly supports the people who make New Orleans culture possible.

    Expenses $319,127 · Revenue $12,000

  • Get Lit Stay Lit is Feed the Second Lines solar-resilience initiative designed to protect residents during power outages by transforming neighborhood restaurants and community spaces into solar-powered resilience hubs. These hubs are equipped with solar panels and battery storage, allowing them to operate as cooling centers, phone-charging stations, and safe gathering spaces when the grid goes down. In 2024, Feed the Second Line installed two new resilience hubs, bringing the total network to eight solar-powered hubs across New Orleans. These locations are positioned in neighborhoods that experience frequent outages and have limited access to traditional disaster resources. Throughout the year, New Orleans experienced several brief outages during regular business hours. Continued on Schedule O

    Expenses $272,247 · Revenue $416,728

YKC combines hands-on learning, literacy support, leadership development, and cultural arts engagement to help children build confidence and connect with the traditions around them. Young Keepers of the Culture YKC is Feed the Second Lines youth leadership and cultural education program that prepares the next generation of New Orleans culture bearers.

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.

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.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Related organizations

From Schedule R Part II, where a filer lists the tax-exempt organizations it is related to by control. It does not record shared board members or money.

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.
