Mission

THE MISSION OF THE LACHSA FOUNDATION AND PROGRAM OF THE FOUNDATION DID NOT CHANGE. THE FOUNDATION RAISES AWARENESS AND PROVIDES CRITICAL FUNDING THAT BRIDGES THE GAP BETWEEN PUBLIC EDUCATION FUNDING AND THE ANNUAL NEEDS OF AN EXEMPLARY ARTS EDUCATION AT LACHSA. THE FOUNDATION LAUNCHED A 40TH ANNIVERSARY TWO YEAR CAMPAIGN IN 2024 -2025 TO GENERATE LARGE INVESTMENTS AND BRING LACHSA'S STORY TO THE NATIONAL STAGE. THE FOUNDATION ALSO CONTINUED TO NEGOCIATE WITH THE LA COUNTY OFFICE OF EDUCATION (LACOE) TO DETERMINE A NEW MOU AGREEMENT AND PARTNERSHIP TO SUPPORT LACHSA. THE IMPACT OF THE LA COUNTY WILDFIRES HAD GREAT LOSS AND IMPACT ON THE SCHOOL AND THE FOUNDATION'S ABILITY TO FUNDRAISE WITH SUCH A HISTORIC LOSS OF ENTIRE COMMUNITIES, HOMES, AND JOBS. THE FOUNDATION'S TEMPORARY WILDFIRE EMERGENCY RELIEF FUND PROVIDED SUPPLIES AND MATERIALS TO LACHSA STUDENTS AND FACULTY IN RESPONSE TO THE TRAGEDY.

Each tax year counts once: when a return was amended, only the latest return for that period is used below (superseded returns stay listed, greyed, under Finances).

People paid by the organization

6 people paid across every filing: current people first, then by total pay from this organization. Organizations counts every nonprofit each person appears on.

Officers and directors, no compensation reported

60 people listed on the returns with $0 (or no amount) in every compensation column: current people first. Hours are as filed on the latest return each person appears on.

People by year

Highest-paid independent contractors

No independent contractors reported.

Who the money went to

Grants this organization reported paying: Schedule I Part II of the Form 990, or the grants-paid list on the 990-PF. Open a year for every recipient. Recipients link to their own page when the grant names an EIN we have (990-PF grants list no EIN, so those link only on an exact, unique name and state). Grants to individuals are counted; their names are not shown.

Negative amounts are returned or refunded grants; they are listed last and left out of the totals of grants paid.

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 Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Funders of this organization

29 grantors reported grants to this organization, $3,380,503 in all, tax years 2009 to 2025; the 25 largest shown (all 29). Exact: the grantor wrote this organization's EIN. Fuzzy: the grantor wrote only a name (foundations' 990-PF has no EIN field), matched to the same or a near-identical name in the same state; the name as filed is shown. From the latest return for each grantor and year, so amended returns aren't counted twice. CSV

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.
