What Art Deco Society of Los Angeles does
Mission

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
ADSLA presents year-round educational programs centered on the early 20th century era known as the Jazz Age (1920 - 1949). Programs help to fund the historic preservation advocacy activities of the organization. In 2025 we produced a pop up museum experience in celebration of the Centennial of the 1925 Paris Exposition of Decorative and Industrial Arts. Over 800 people visited the three day exhibition. We engaged an intern from USC's Preservation Studies program in the 2025 Summer and Fall semester. She completed a series of GISStoryMaps of Art Deco buildings in Los Angeles.

A significant portion of the membership is comprised of senior citizens who rely on ADSLA for an opportunity to engage in multi-generational social activities outside the home.Our outreach extends to our online presence where 32.2K Instagram and 28K Facebook followers can obtain mini-history lessons and participate in our advocacy by supporting the campaigns we…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $103k to $143k (+39%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

2020 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income rose $41 → $80.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of Art Deco Society of Los Angeles’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. 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.
Where its funders are
100% of Art Deco Society of Los Angeles's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $274 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.
