Mission
Arts and Services for Disabled, Inc primary mission is to provide life-long learning, community service and vocational opportunities through the creative arts for people with disabilities in an environment of warmth, encouragement, and respect.
-
Arts and Services for Disabled, Inc (DBA Able ARTS Work) provides lifelong learning, community service and vocational opportunities through the creative arts therapies (music, dance/movement, drama, visual and language arts) to individuals of all abilities. The day programs provide adults full-day care and services year round (6 hours/day, 5 days/week) and ancillary workshop programs for physically, emotionally, developmentally and intellectually disabled individuals. Programs incorporate education classes including "daily living" classes designed to be age appropriate and provide proper supports to ensure recreational, leisure, professional and academic success. The arts are utilized as a "Universal Design" to break down barriers and access many life curricula to those individuals with disabilities who have difficulty working, living and socializing in an unaccommodating world. Our "Love Before Learning" philosophy embraces the individual with respect and dignity focusing on their capabilities to improve self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-competence to their greatest potential. Community inclusion is key for individuals with disabilities to not just be in, but to be part of the community and maintain dynamic relationships as community members, A total of 160 people are currently serviced in the community at facilities surrounded by friendly neighborhoods. The organization also conducts 173 visual and performing arts workshops for over 832 members with disabilities in the Los Angeles, Orange County and San Bernardino areas, arts education based workshops for over 1,000 students 1n Los Angeles, Long Beach and Bellflower Unified School Districts, and 8 visual arts exhibits and performing arts exhibits to a total v1ew1ng audience of approximately 1,200.

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. 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.

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.
