  • WILL & WAY (Weber Instrument Lending Library for Weber Acoustic Youth): Established by OFOAM in 2021, the Weber Instrument Lending Library (WILL) supports the Weber Acoustic Youth (WAY) program by providing students with access to high-quality musical instruments. To date, the library has loaned 84 instruments from its collection of 157, including guitars, banjos, mandolins, violins, guitarrns, vihuelas, accordions, and trumpets. The WAY program has successfully engaged 342 students across 8 locations, providing 884 instructional classes led by 12 professional music instructors. Through these efforts, OFOAM continues to strengthen community partnerships with the Ogden School District, Boys & Girls Clubs of Weber/Davis, Youth Impact, and the Utah Neighborhood Connection.

  • Da de los Muertos en Ogden (October 12, 2025): The 5th Annual Da de los Muertos en Ogden (DDLM) is a cultural celebration organized by and for the Hispanic/Latinx community. In its fifth year, OFOAM continued its mission to educate and inspire through music, dance, and visual arts by partnering with the Ogden School District, LUPEC (Latinos United Promoting Education & Civic Engagement), and the Mexican Consulate to present premier Latin artists. OFOAM provided comprehensive event support, including marketing, venue rental, production (sound, lights, and backline), and artist logistics (fees, lodging, and transportation). Additionally, OFOAM planned an educational outreach concert for Ogden and Weber School District students on October 9th, featuring a lecture-demonstration format, but it was unfortunately cancelled. The OFOAM planning committee also coordinated the Ogden School District Art & Music Showcases, community altars, a car show, a mercadito, and local food vendors.

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

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.
