Mission

SINCE 1954, THE LOUISVILLE ACADEMY OF MUSIC (LAM) HAS PROVIDED HIGH-QUALITY MUSIC EDUCATION TO GENERATIONS OF STUDENTS, NURTURING NOT ONLY MUSICIANS, BUT CREATIVE, INSPIRED PEOPLE PREPARED TO THRIVE IN EVERY AREA OF LIFE. THROUGH PRIVATE LESSONS, GROUP CLASSES, MASTERCLASSES, SUMMER CAMPS, AND MORE WE PROVIDE AN ENRICHING EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT THAT SUPPORTS THE DEVELOPMENT OF A WHOLE AND CONFIDENT MUSICIAN.

    Expenses $471,279 · Revenue $520,330

  • WE BELIEVE THAT MUSIC BELONGS TO EVERYONE AND THAT ACCESS TO TRANSFORMATIVE ARTS EDUCATION SHOULD NOT DEPEND ON A FAMILY'S INCOME, ZIP CODE, OR BACKGROUND. THROUGH NEED-BASED SCHOLARSHIPS, PUBLIC SCHOOL PROGRAMS, AND COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS WE REACHED MORE THAN 6,000 PEOPLE WITH FREE MUSIC EDUCATION PROGRAMMING. WE CONTINUE TO INVEST IN MAKING MUSIC EDUCATION ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE WHO WISHES TO LEARN, CREATE, AND BELONG. THIS YEAR ALSO BROUGHT A DEFINING HONOR: LAM WAS AWARDED THE GOVERNOR'S AWARD IN THE ARTS FOR EDUCATION, RECOGNIZING OUR EXTRAORDINARY CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE ARTS IN KENTUCKY. THIS STATEWIDE RECOGNITION AFFIRMED THE IMPACT OF OUR MISSION, OUR INNOVATIVE PROGRAMMING, AND OUR COMMITMENT TO ACCESSIBILITY AND EXCELLENCE.

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

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 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.

The registration facts above come from the IRS Business Master File published 13 October 2026 and read 26 October 2026, for every organization at once. Returns through tax year 2024, the newest we have parsed for this organization.
