Mission & Programs · Part III

Where the work happens

3 program services account for $132K of program spending, described in the organization's own filed words · FY2021.
01

Musically Fed continued its Pandemic Initiative through the end of June 2021 with car drive thrus in several large cities where those in-need seemed to be the greatest. Live events slowly made a comeback as a result of pretesting for Covid-19 prior to entering live event venues.

$100Kprogram expense
02

In the 2nd half of 2021, as Covid-19 safety measures lessened, live entertainment events commenced. Musically Fed repurposed approx 38,900 meals from backstage and VIP catering at concerts, festivals and sports events.

$25Kprogram expense
03

Musically Fed planned with the lessening of Covid-19 restrictions to restart regular delivery of food items to veterans organizations. Instead the Covid-19 variants remained an obstacle to providing our veterans with fresh food. With the help of Mutt Nation, Musically Fed created an initiative called Pets for Vets program.

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
