It is our mission to provide an outlet for their voices to be heard. The LUV Inner City Initiative will see further resources focused upon the Black and Brown community. Through our work we have come to recognize that there is a disproportionate amount of negative portrayals of Black and Brown men in entertainment, thus leading to implicit bias amongst the broader community. These biases perpetuate racial injustices. LUV engages youth through the performing arts to play an active role in shifting the paradigm of content creation pertaining to African Americans. By changing the narrative, we change the view. Our foundation recognizes the need for more positive portrayals of our Black brothers and sisters in music and film. The LUV Inner City Initiative is a mentor program, comprising of industry professionals that work in the highest levels of entertainment. Those participating in the program receive hands-on training in all facets of song and movie creation as they contribute to reshaping the negative stigmas attached to color. Through song lyrics, character development and storytelling, the youth of today have the opportunity to use their voice in telling their authentic story. 71612 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 true 0 false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 5 5 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X Mauli Bonner 8182128324 16118 Anthem Court Fontana CA 92336 X Victoria Marshall Secretary 20.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Mauli Bonner Jr Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Julia Franklin Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Justin Mangum Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Akeemi Croom Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 1005000 1005000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1005000 X 0 0 595 595 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2764 2764 0 0 0 39800 39800 235 235 20367 10183 10184 0 0 0 21765 8492 13273 0 0 0 0 30682 30682 1171 1171 Event Expenses 12390 12390 Meals 3163 152 3011 Misc Fees 148 148 0 133080 71612 61468 0 1274 900551 0 0 0 53 53 0 0 0 0 156672 51276 129552 105396 0 0 0 225000 225000 0 355879 1231000 3201 0 3201 X 355879 1227799 355879 1227799 355879 1231000 871920 X false false false X 6555 667620 272111 112750 1005000 2064036 0 0 6555 667620 272111 112750 1005000 2064036 514671 1549365 0 0 0 2064036 0.75060 0.43340 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 122250 36675 85575 34422 14601 19821 105396 Mauli Bonner Exec Direct Gen Support X 3201 3201 false false false 3201 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b A copy of the form 990 is provided to all members of the board for review prior to filing with the IRS.
