Mission and programs · 2025

Primary exempt purpose

WE BELIEVE THAT EVERY YOUNG PERSON SHOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPERIENCE THE MAGIC OF MUSIC.

  • MUSIC AND YOUTH INITIATIVE WAS FOUNDED IN 2005 TO PARTNER WITH YOUTH DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATIONS SERVING UNDER-RESOURCED URBAN COMMUNITIES. WE PROVIDE EACH PARTNER WITH MULTI-YEAR FUNDING, EQUIPMENT GRANTS, AND EXTENSIVE PROGRAM SUPPORT TO HELP THEM CREATE AND SUSTAIN A "MUSIC CLUBHOUSE", WHICH THEY INTEGRATE INTO THEIR OVERALL PROGRAM OFFERINGS. WE ALSO PROVIDE FUNDING AND PROGRAM SUPPORT FOR "CATALYST GRANTS" FOR NEW OR EXISTING INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS THAT USE MUSIC AS A VEHICLE FOR YOUTH DEVELOPMENT FOR ORGANIZATIONS THAT MAY NOT HAVE THE SPACE OR STAFFING REQUIRED FOR A MUSIC CLUBHOUSE. WE SUPPORT AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMS FOCUSED ON TWEENS AND TEENS, DESIGNED TO BE SAFE PLACES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE TO NOT ONLY EXPLORE THEIR MUSICAL INTERESTS, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY USE MUSIC AS A VEHICLE TO UNDERSTAND AND EXPRESS THEIR THOUGHTS AND EMOTIONS, AND DEVELOP LIFE SKILLS AS THEY MOVE TOWARD ADULTHOOD. THESE PROGRAMS ARE LED BY A PROFESSIONAL MUSICAL STAFF WITH STRONG YOUTH DEVELOPMENT SKILLS WHO ARE DEDICATED TO HELPING ALL PARTICIPANTS FIND THEIR VOICE. THE PROGRAMS ARE INTENTIONALLY SELF-DIRECTED, ENCOURAGING TEENS TO PLAY THE MUSIC THEY ARE INTERESTED IN AND SUPPORTING THEIR EFFORTS TO LEARN AS MUCH MUSICALLY AS THEY DESIRE. IN ADDITION TO A WIDE ARRAY OF INSTRUMENTS SUCH AS GUITARS, DRUMS, AND KEYBOARDS AS WELL AS WITH STATE OF-THE ART RECORDING HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE TO ATTRACT TODAY'S TEENS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN WRITING AND PRODUCING THEIR OWN 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.

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.

Grants made

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.

What this page reflects

The registration facts above come from the IRS Business Master File published 9 November 2026 and read 9 November 2026, for every organization at once. Returns through tax year 2025, the newest we have parsed for this organization.
