01What it does

What Aim 4 the Heart a California Nonprofit Corporation does

Mission

AIM 4 The Heart envisions a society transformed at its core to recognize the value of Emotional Literacy (the ability to identify, understand, and respond to emotions in oneself and others in a healthy manner). At AIM, we believe that the most powerful way to positively impact minds is to first reach individuals via the heart, with art being the most effective tool. Our HeArt Education programs apply the principle that through the study of the Arts we can learn our humanity and develop the skills necessary to heal. Our multi-disciplinary programs teach the importance of emotional communication, self-awareness, character development, and critical thinking. Our dynamic team of artist-educators facilitates these in a variety of spaces, consistently fostering human development for learners of all ages.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.

Program

  1. The organization holds topic based workshops in schools that develop emotional literacy in a person through arts. Emotional literacy is defined as the ability to understand emotions in self and others. The ability to emphasize with the emotions and the ability to express emotions productively. The by product of emotional literacy and development improves the condition of one's life moving it from pain to promise and from challenges to possibilities.

The program described on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.

Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.

CA

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $50k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
