Mission

Living Arts Collaborative, Inc. (LAC) aims to make the musical arts accessible and relevant to kindergarten through high school-age students, fosteringin them the appreciation of the musical arts and unleashing creativity, imagination, and innovation in all areas of their lives. Through interactiveworkshops and concerts, LAC uses music as a basis for social and emotional learning, understanding and integrating empathy, and cultivating toleranceand openness to new ideas. Using music to engage and entertain, the teaching artists of LAC connect their programs to the school curricula and meetNew York State education standards at all times. The values that LAC imparts to students are intrinsic to the musical arts, but are not always identifiedand consciously fostered in traditional musical arts education programs. With LAC's approach, students will gain technical and practical musicalproficiency, as well as a better sense of who they are as individuals in an ever-changing world.

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 Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.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.
