The Foundation was born out of the annual GroundUP Music Festival, a music & education festival that produces the highest level music programs while creating free opportunities for local under-served students as well as other musicians and students with these diverse renowned artists. The 7th annual GroundUP Music Festival is scheduled to take place in Miami Beach in February, 2023, and there are plans to add additional festivals as well as artist-student residencies in 2023 and beyond.The most significant activities for 2022 included the 6th annual GroundUP Music Festival, which took place in Miami Beach on May 6-8, 2022, with attendees coming from more than 40 states and 50 countries. GroundUP provided workshops and masterclasses preceding, during and following the festival, as well as other online and in person programs. Grants for GroundUP were received during this period from the NEA, the State of Florida, the Miami Beach Visitors and Convention Authority, and multiple grants from the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs. Plans are presently underway to begin new residency programs for artists. 474881 true false false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 0 false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 3 3 false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false SMYLE AND ASSOCIATES LLC 2123563997 122 EAST 42ND STREET SUITE 3900 NEW YORK NY 10168 PAUL LEHR OFFICER 40.00 0.00 X 30000 0 0 JUAN PABLO DIAZ OFFICER 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LENA KOORSE OFFICER 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 30000 0 false false false 0 113648 32500 146148 FESTIVAL MERCHANDISE SALE 7097 7097 HOTEL COMMISSION 1294 1294 TEACHING REVENUE 9609 9609 TICKET REVENUE 239029 239029 257029 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 403177 257029 0 0 0 0 30000 30000 0 0 0 0 0 0 110 110 14500 14500 0 0 0 14000 14000 65207 65207 3482 3482 0 0 0 55700 55700 0 0 0 0 0 0 FESTIVAL EXPENSES 154588 154588 ARTIST FEES 122642 122642 SUPPLIES 7872 7872 Postage and Shipping 2712 2712 4068 4068 474881 474881 0 0 98350 91024 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 102692 107971 201042 198995 132389 193645 8401 132389 202046 X 68653 -3051 68653 -3051 201042 198995 -71704 X false false false X 72055 57115 146148 275318 3266 246126 249392 0 0 0 72055 60381 392274 524710 0 0 524710 0 0 0 36488 10903 47391 72055 96869 403177 572101 X 0.00000 0.00000 DUE FROM GROUNDUP PRODUCTIONS 107971 107971 DUE FROM GUM MERCH 8401 8401 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 4 1) Mission change: The organization expanded its mission to focus not just on underprivileged students in Miami-Dade, but also to focus onsupporting up-and-coming and established artists and musciains, per the above.2) Name change: The organizations name was changed to better reflect this new mission (and to align with the music festival referenced above).3) Address change: The organizations principal address was changed, to 4707 North Bay Road, Miami Beach, FL 331404) Director change: The organizations directors are now Paul Lehr, Lena Koorse, and Juan Pablo Diaz (who has stayed on with the organization as adirector).5) Responsible party change: The responsible party is now Paul Lehra) The Responsible party change was submitted to the IRS via a form 8822-B.b) The address change was submitted to the IRS over the phone.c) The name change was submitted to the IRS via fax, and an Affirmation Letter is attachedd) The Director change and mission change are reflected in the attached Articles of Incorporation, which were filed with the Florida Secretary of State.
