Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Arts Education Connection San Diego engages professional teaching artists to provide high-quality arts education programs in all art forms for students, educators, families and communities, advocating for, leading and advancing education in and through the arts.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Arts Education Connection San Diego transforms learning by bringing the joy and richness of the arts to schools and communities.

  • Arts Intervention programs address the special needs of our most vulnerable students in the Juvenile Court and Community Schools. These students may be incarcerated, pregnant and/or parenting, in foster care, expelled, chronically truant, in drug treatment, in group homes for neglected or abused children, and/or experiencing homelessness. Our programs give youth tools for positive self-expression and support their social/emotional and academic growth.

    Expenses $129,103 · Revenue $100,194

  • Artist in Residence programs are 8 to 32 week partnerships with local schools. Teaching Artists instruct students in weekly lessons that are focused on discrete art or arts integration. Students learn a variety of art concepts, vocabulary, and techniques, while also cultivating imagination, critical thinking and other crucial life skills needed to succeed in todays world.

    Expenses $347,600 · Revenue $263,009

  • Other programs include workshops, performances, teaching artist training, professional learning for classroom teachers, family arts nights, afterschool enrichment, and programs for military-connected youth. We also participate in advocacy events that demonstrate the value of arts education for all.

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

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 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.
