What Mariachi Womens Foundation does
Mission
The Mariachi Women's Foundation provides youth and community access and inclusion in mariachi performing and cultural arts through music performance, music education and community engagement.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Under the Music Education division of the Mariachi Women's Foundation, the MWF was pleased to hold Mariachi Workshops for 200 students who attended seven middle and high schools in East Los Angeles. The workshops were taught by musicians from the renowned Mariachi Sol de Mexico. A culminating concert was held at Roosevelt HS. It also deployed the Grammy-winning Mariachi Divas for a concert at five K-12 LAUSD schools. The MWF also facilitated instruction for the Mariachi Mariposas after-school program at Garfield HS. Last, it worked with the LAUSD Arts division to implement a summer bridge music program that connected students, teachers and parents of Griffith Junior HS mariachi programs with Garfield HS mariachi programs.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $153k to $38k (−75%).
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2022 75% · 2023 80%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
70% of Mariachi Womens Foundation’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (64% for the typical peer).
