Mission
Atlanta Freedom Bands provides a positive representation of our city's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and ally community through music. AFB is a community-based, service-oriented organization that provides an opportunity for creative musical expression for a diverse range of performers and provides outstanding entertainment in a welcoming, inclusive environment. We believe in the power of visibility to foster LGBTQ acceptance, and we strive to be a source of pride for the entire community.

The Atlanta Freedom Bands (AFB) saw an exceptionally successful first half of 2025, driven by musical excellence and strong community visibility. The Concert Band achieved record audience attendance year over year for its March and June concerts. The ensemble also hired a new artistic director to continue driving excellence in the organization. Meanwhile, the versatile MetroGnomes ensemble supported numerous non-profits, performing community concerts at Tucker Brewing Company and entertaining guests at key fundraisers like the Chairish the Future Gala (Atlanta Furniture Bank), Good Human Gala (Lifeline Animal Rescue), and HRC Gala. The Color Guard and Marching Band significantly boosted their profile with a high-visibility performance at the Hawks NBA halftime show on Pride Night, in addition to participating in major regional events including Augusta Pride, the St. Patrick's Day Parade, Stone Mountain Mardi Gras, and the Habitat for Humanity Pride Dedication.

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.

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.
