Mission

AUDIENCES UNLIMITED CREATES CULTURAL EXPERIENCES THAT ENRICH THE LIVES OF PEOPLE WITH LIMITED ACCESS TO THE ARTS.

  • AUDIENCES UNLIMITED PROVIDED 1,232 LIVE, SOCIALLY-DISTANCED INDOOR AND OUTDOOR ARTS PROGRAMS FOR AUDIENCE MEMBERS AND PARTICIPANTS, INCLUDING MUSIC, DANCE, AND THEATRE REACHING AN ESTIMATED 7,410 INDIVIDUALS. THESE INDIVIDUALS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN MULTIPLE ARTS EXPERIENCES - FROM 1 TO 72 EXPOSURES EACH, DEPENDING UPON THE FACILITY AND THE ABILITY TO CONGREGATE SAFELY. IN ADDITION, 8 HOURS OF VIRTUAL VIDEO PROGRAMMING FEATURING OUR LOCAL ARTISTS WAS PROVIDED REACHING AN UNDETERMINED NUMBER OF AUDIENCE MEMBERS. THIS INCLUDES AUDIENCES IN PARTNERING LONG-TERM HEALTH FACILITIES, RESIDENTIAL CARE FACILITIES, AND IN AN ACADEMY FOR ADULTS WITH COGNITIVE AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES. MOST PROGRAMS TOOK PLACE ON-SITE. SOME WERE PRESENTED VIRTUALLY IN FACILITIES THAT DO NOT PERMIT LIVE MUSIC. ALL PARTICIPANTS OTHERWISE WOULD NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPERIENCE PROFESSIONAL MUSIC AND CULTURAL ARTS PROGRAMS. AUDIENCES UNLIMITED'S (AUI) MISSION IS TO CREATE CULTURAL EXPERIENCES THAT ENRICH THE LIVES OF PEOPLE WITH LIMITED ACCESS TO THE ARTS. AUI'S PROGRAMMING ENRICHES THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF RESIDENTS IN HEALTH/RESIDENTIAL CARE FACILITIES AND FOR ADULTS WITH COGNITIVE AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES BY PROVIDING CULTURAL RESOURCES AND PROGRAMS THAT REFRESH AND INSPIRE THE MIND, BODY AND SPIRIT. WHEN A PERSON LIVES AT A FACILITY, THEY FACE CHALLENGES AND LOSS OF INDEPENDENCE THAT PREVENT THEM FROM BEING INTEGRATED IN THE FABRIC OF THE COMMUNITY. THE NEED IS GREAT FOR THESE MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY TO HAVE EXPERIENCES THAT REDUCE THE FEELINGS OF ISOLATION AND IMPROVE THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE BY BRINGING THEM JOY AND HAPPINESS. THE SECOND GROUP IS COMPRISED OF ADULTS OF ALL AGES WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES WHO ATTEND L.I.F.E. ADULT DAY ACADEMY. THESE INDIVIDUALS MAY STRUGGLE TO MAKE MEANINGFUL SOCIAL CONNECTIONS OR FACE LIMITED OPPORTUNITIES TO ARTS EXPERIENCES DUE TO BEHAVIORS OR CARETAKING SITUATIONS. APPROXIMATELY 40% OF THESE INDIVIDUALS LIVE IN GROUP HOMES AND HAVE VERY LIMITED ACCESS TO MUSIC. FACILITY PROGRAMMING: AUI SERVES AS A CATALYST UNITING LOCAL ARTISTS AND ENTERTAINERS WITH THE NEEDS OF LONG-TERM CARE FACILITIES BY OFFERING A VARIETY OF CHOICES, SUCH AS SOLO AND DUOS AND SMALL PHILHARMONIC ENSEMBLES AS WELL AS OTHER STYLES OF ENTERTAINMENT. IN THE 2021-2022 FISCAL YEAR, AUI HAD 35 LONG-TERM CARE PARTNER FACILITIES RECEIVING LIVE PROGRAMMING FOR OVER 7,350 INDIVIDUALS RECEIVING MULTIPLE EXPERIENCES AND AN ADDITIONAL 4 PARTNER FACILITIES RECEIVING 8 HOURS OF DIGITAL VIDEO PROGRAMMING TO AN UNDETERMINED NUMBER OF AUDIENCE MEMBERS. THE IN-FACILITY PROGRAM OFFERED RESIDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPERIENCE ARTS PERFORMANCES WHERE THEY LIVE THAT FULFILL QUALITY OF LIFE ATTRIBUTES INCLUDING THE VALUE OF ACTIVE AGING, EMOTIONAL STIMULATION, INTELLECTUAL FULFILLMENT, THE SENSE OF COMMUNITY, AND SENSORY ENGAGEMENT. MUSICIANS WERE MASKED TO SING AND PERFORM AND AUDIENCE MEMBERS WERE SOCIALLY DISTANCED. DIGITAL VIDEOS OF AUI MUSICIANS AND DANCERS ENSURED THAT PROGRAMMING WAS STILL ACCESSIBLE TO THOSE WE SERVE AT CARE FACILITIES CLOSED TO PERFORMERS. ALL CARE-FACILITIES EACH USE THE VIDEOS IN DIFFERENT WAYS, BUT SOME OF THE USES HAVE INCLUDED BACKING FOR GENERAL EXERCISE PROGRAMMING, BEING PLAYED AT FRIDAY HAPPY HOURS, ON INDIVIDUAL ROOM TVS, AND OVER THE FACILITY-WIDE SOUND SYSTEM SECOND, THE IN-COMMUNITY PROGRAM OFFERED FREE TICKETS TO 38 EVENTS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OUR ARTS AND CULTURAL PARTNERS. 535 PEOPLE ATTENDED A VARIETY OF PERFORMANCES AND CULTURAL DESIGNATIONS. FINALLY, THE MY EXPRESSION (ME) PROGRAM AT L.I.F.E. ADULT DAY ACADEMY PROVIDED 50 ADULTS WITH INTELLECTUAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES REGULAR ARTS PARTICIPATION EXPERIENCES OFFERING OPPORTUNITIES FOR STRUCTURED, SHARED, AND PERSONAL SOCIAL EXPERIENCES AND AN OUTLET FOR APPROPRIATE SELF- EXPRESSION. THE ME PROGRAM WAS PRESENTED SAFELY ONSITE AT L.A.D.A. FROM AUGUST THROUGH JUNE. TWENTY-FIVE MINUTE SOCIALLY-DISTANCED PROGRAMS INCLUDED 131 LIVE MUSIC EXPERIENCES, 11 THEATRE EXPERIENCES, AND 14 ADAPTIVE DANCE EXPERIENCES. THE DANCE AND THEATRE "FINAL PERFORMANCES" WERE RECORDED FOR THE STUDENTS' FAMILIES AND CAREGIVERS.

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.

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

Not present in the most recent drop.

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.
