DescAGCDC Public Art Alpha Genesis has been at the forefront of driving cultural tourism and has been a significant contributor to the progression of economic development through public art in Cambridge's historic downtown. Our mission is to "strengthen and enrich our neighborhoods by providing spaces that utilize our community's unique history and proximity to the Harriet Tubman UGRR Byway to inspire conversation, embrace and celebrate diversity, and foster economic development." Alpha Genesis CDC's public art projects are healing hearts while transforming the economic and demographic face of Historic Downtown Cambridge. AGCDC led a 2-year fundraising campaign called Harriet's Journey Home, raising more than 400K, to install a 12-foot statue of Harriet Tubman, called the "Beacon of Hope". The sculpture was installed in 2022 on the 200th anniversary of Harriet Tubman's birth in Dorchester County. It is located at the Historic Dorchester County Courthouse, where Tubman's first orchestrated rescue of her niece Kieshia took place after she was auctioned. This hallowed ground is also the location where hundreds of people were auctioned and enslaved. The Heart of Chesapeake Country Heritage Area Management Board has selected the Harriet Tubman Beacon of Hope sculpture for our 2023 Outstanding Project Award! This prestigious award recognizes an exceptional project, event, or activity conducted/sponsored by an organization, business, individual, or local government that highlights Dorchester's natural or cultural heritage and/or increases public awareness of its history, heritage, and cultural traditions. The Heritage Board made special note of the diverse community collaborators who came together in a grassroots effort to honor a local icon, Harriet Tubman. They noted that Alpha Genesis Community Development Corporation led the project with various steering committee members, including local, county, and state governments. During the two years leading up to the sculpture's unveiling, Alpha Genesis organized a multitude of historically inspired events for students. Dorchester County Tourism Department featured the Beacon of Hope statue on the cover of its annual magazine, "Water Moves Us." The magazine invited the public masses to visit Dorchester County to learn about the life of Harriet Tubman in her birthplace, Dorchester County, Maryland. This magazine is distributed throughout Dorchester County, the Eastern Shore Region, with online view analytics including Washington DC-Baltimore Area, Greater Salisbury Area, Greater Philadelphia, NY City Metropolitan Area, and Atlanta Metropolitan Area. This was a wonderful way for Alpha Genesis CDC to kick off Black History Month 2023!Desc

DescPlanning of the NSV Alpha Genesis is respected for the programs we have provided that help connect our community through the shared experience of art and culture. The success of the Beacon of Hope Statue and the popularity of the world-famous Harriet Tubman "Take my Hand" mural have opened the door for larger projects with increased responsibilities and budget. The North Star Village project is historic. This aggressive three-phase plan will honor Harriet Tubman prominently on the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway. A successful North Star Village project would bring more than 30 new, livable-wage jobs to Historic Downtown Cambridge. Alpha Genesis CDC continues to build community awareness through events & programs that authentically connect our mission to our community while celebrating our cultural differences holistically through art.Desc

Form 990, Part III (Cont. 4)First Project/Program 2023: AGCDC Public Art 2023: Alpha Genesis has been at the forefront of driving cultural tourism and has been a significant contributor to the progression of economic development through public art in Cambridge's historic downtown. Our mission is to "strengthen and enrich our neighborhoods by providing spaces that utilize our community's unique history and proximity to the Harriet Tubman UGRR Byway to inspire conversation, embrace and celebrate diversity, and foster economic development." Alpha Genesis CDC's public art projects are healing hearts while transforming the economic and demographic face of Historic Downtown Cambridge. AGCDC led a 2-year fundraising campaign called Harriet's Journey Home, raising more than 400K, to install a 12-foot statue of Harriet Tubman, called the "Beacon of Hope". The sculpture was installed in 2022 on the 200th anniversary of Harriet Tubman's birth in Dorchester County. It is located at the Historic Dorchester County Courthouse, where Tubman's first orchestrated rescue of her niece Kieshia took place after she was auctioned. This hallowed ground is also the location where hundreds of people were auctioned and enslaved. The Heart of Chesapeake Country Heritage Area Management Board has selected the Harriet Tubman Beacon of Hope sculpture for our 2023 Outstanding Project Award! This prestigious award recognizes an exceptional project, event, or activity conducted/sponsored by an organization, business, individual, or local government that highlights Dorchester's natural or cultural heritage and/or increases public awareness of its history, heritage, and cultural traditions. The Heritage Board made special note of the diverse community collaborators who came together in a grassroots effort to honor a local icon, Harriet Tubman. They noted that Alpha Genesis Community Development Corporation led the project with various steering committee members, including local, county, and state governments. During the two years leading up to the sculpture's unveiling, Alpha Genesis organized a multitude of historically inspired events for students. Dorchester County Tourism Department featured the Beacon of Hope statue on the cover of its annual magazine, "Water Moves Us." The magazine invited the public masses to visit Dorchester County to learn about the life of Harriet Tubman in her birthplace, Dorchester County, Maryland. This magazine is distributed throughout Dorchester County, the Eastern Shore Region, with online view analytics including Washington DC-Baltimore Area, Greater Salisbury Area, Greater Philadelphia, NY City Metropolitan Area, and Atlanta Metropolitan Area. This was a wonderful way for Alpha Genesis CDC to kick off Black History Month 2023! Second Project/Program 2023: AGCDC Community collaboration projects: Alpha Genesis CDC partners with the Harriet Tubman Museum and Educational Center in recognition of Harriet Tubman Day 2023.

ExplanationFor the past seven years, our small organization has consistently filed the 990EZ postcard. However, in 2020, due to the overwhelming success of our Harriet Tubman Mural project, we experienced a significant increase in our programming and project management, which was particularly challenging during the pandemic. This project garnered national attention as we initiated fundraising efforts to install a permanent statue in her honor at the Dorchester County Courthouse. Our board, still inexperienced in managing these changes, filed our first long-form 990 in 2022. During this time, we acquired one vacant property and were awarded State Historic Tax Credits to rehabilitate another building, bringing our total to two prominent properties on the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad in Dorchester County, the birthplace of Harriet Tubman. This undertaking has been both courageous and overwhelming, particularly as we had limited local support. The following year, we discovered that the numbers reported in our first long-form 990 had not been filed correctly. Our CFO had specialized in real estate development rather than nonprofit bookkeeping. Shortly thereafter, she fell ill with cancer and has not returned. To compound matters, our acting executive director also became ill with cancer. As a result, the day-to-day operations fell heavily on the shoulders of just three board members. It took us several months to identify and hire a financial consultant whom we could afford to help us sort through our financial data. We are pleased to report that we now have a robust CRM system in place, enabling us to maintain solid financial records. Our projects are on track for completion this year, and we are committed to ensuring that the legacy of Harriet Tubman is properly represented in her birthplace as our nation celebrates its 250th anniversary. We are a small organization with a significant responsibility, and while we have faced setbacks, we have also learned and grown from them. We are actively recruiting new board members to help us stay on track. Given our unique circumstances, any leniency your office can provide regarding our late filing would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your consideration.ExplanationTxt
