Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Hear Your Song empowers children and teens living with serious illnesses and complex health needs to make their voices heard through collaborative songwriting. At the heart of our work is a "kid-driven," totally individualized process that puts every child and teen in our community - youth who live with physical and mental health diagnoses that so often deprive them of power and choice - in complete creative control. Hear Your Song supports youth songwriters through partnerships with children's hospitals and nursing homes, summer camps, schools, and diagnosis-specific organizations.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Hear Your Song empowers children and teens living with serious illnesses and complex health needs to make their voices heard through collaborative songwriting.

  • Hear Your Song's central program service is our Collaborative Songwriting Program for youth with serious illnesses and complex health needs ages 6-18. In 2025, Hear Your Song served over 210 kids through partnerships with children's hospitals, nonprofits, schools, and camp programs. Hear Your Song created peer songwriting groups, live performance opportunities, and virtual song premiere events to strengthen the community of youth participating in programming and to deepen relationships among families, partner organizations, volunteers, and youth songwriters. Through our Duet-A-Doc project, youth songwriters collaborated with their longtime medical professionals to create songs together. Hear Your Song also mentored undergraduate students and other volunteers across the United States to lead songwriting sessions. Associated accomplishments include the amplification of youth songwriters' songs and voices so that their creative work can be celebrated and shared by a wide audience.

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.

The four totals the IRS asks for on Part I of the Form 990, as filed. A dash means the figure was not present on the return — not that it was zero.

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

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.
