Mission

Academy of Arms Los Angeles Inc.'s mission is to preserve and promote the study and practice of historical European martial arts. The organization was established to educate program participants about historical European martial arts. Our instructors teach a curriculum from historical texts written primarily in the 14th to 16th centuries. Our goal is to revive these lost arts by increasing awareness and inspiring a passion for this rich period of history.

Who gave

Contributor names are not public for this form type.

Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.

Finances

Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Where the money went

Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
