01What it does

What Pensacola Beach Songfest Inc does

Mission

Let the pensacola beach songwriters festival introduce you to the songwriters who create the songs that inspire our daily lives. Songs create moods that can put smiles on your faces or tears in your eyes. There are emotions that live within us each and every day that a song sometimes has a way of healing. Youll be surprised to learn that the artist on the radio might not be the songwriter. The variety of songwriters is as different as the grains of sand that cover our beautiful pristine beaches. Pensacola beach songwriters festival is your chance to meet the writers and hear the stories behind the songs. The most special part of the festival to jim was the songwriters actually participating in the classrooms of the local schools. He believed that music should be a key part of education.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

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. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
