La Izquierda is dedicated to enriching the Galveston and Gulf Coast communities through surf the arts and fostering local culture. For the last seven years through our Save the Locals Summer concert series the Galveston Sandcastle Festival and La Izquierda Fest we have brought in local and regional artists to help our community celebrate and connect over art music surf culture and the preservation of our beach habitat. These events create economic opportunities for the local artists who make Galveston a special place for locals and visitors alike and help support the mental health and cohesion of our community.

No independent contractors reported.
Who gave
Contributor names are not public for this form type.
Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.
Finances
Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Where the money went
Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
