Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

The Artist Mentorship Program (AMP) is a Portland-based nonprofit that provides a safe, creative, and relationship-centered space for youth experiencing homelessness. Through music and art programming, AMP fosters community, self-expression, and skill development while building trust and connection with caring adults. In addition to creative programming, AMP meets immediate needs by providing meals, social services, and resource navigation, supporting youth in stabilizing their lives and accessing pathways toward long-term well-being.

  • In 2025, AMP supported 485 individual youth experiencing homelessness, providing music and art education, , mentorship, nutritious meals, social services, and job training. For many, the consistent presence of artist and musician mentors fosters a vital sense of belonging and self-worth. Through 20,000 engagement hours, AMP mentors and volunteers ensured that youth had access to a safe, creative space during high-risk evening hours, offering stability, connection, and opportunities for growth.

    Expenses $348,642

  • In 2025, AMP provided 20,000 meals and distributed 26,000 pounds of nutritious food through our weekly Free Food Market, supporting both AMP students and food-insecure community members. This vital program is made possible through partnerships with local restaurants, dedicated volunteers, and organizations like Urban Gleaners, Feed the Mass, and Milk Crate Kitchen ensuring consistent access to nourishing meals for those who need them most.

    Expenses $309,173

  • In 2025, AMP expanded the AMP Beat Building Academy. This month-long class is a trauma-informed music production and job-training program for youth experiencing homelessness. Using beat making as an accessible entry point, the program provides hands-on instruction in music production, basic music theory, and audio engineering. Youth participate in weekly, small-group sessions supported by experienced instructors, where they build technical skills, collaborate creatively, and develop confidence and consistency. The program also emphasizes transferable workforce skills such as time management, focus, problem-solving, and project completion. Through mentorship and creative expression, the Beat Building Academy supports emotional regulation, community connection, and pathways toward long-term stability and employment. To further encourage creative expression, AMP provided select youth with their own musical instruments, ensuring they have the tools to continue their artistic journey. This year, AMP distributed: 12 Guitars, 6 Ukuleles, 3 Keyboards, 4 Amplifiers & Pedals, 3 Drum Pads, 2 Electronic Drum Kits 4 sets of drum sticks, 2 Microphones, stands and cables, 1 Bass Guitar, 1 pair PA speakers, 1 Mixing Board, numerous tuners, pics, cables and straps. Through education, performance opportunities and access to instruments, AMP empowers youth to find their voice, build confidence, and connect through music.

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.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 9 November 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

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 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.
