What Alpha Genesis Community Development Corporation does
Mission
Our mission is to strengthen strategic partnerships through arts and culture to build a vibrant, thriving community. We 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. We provide programs that help connect our community through the shared experience of art and culture, working from within the community to build unity where there has been a long history of division.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
NSV Phase 1 The North Star Village (NSV) consists of a three-phased capital project that honors the life and legacy of Harriet Tubman. This project will beautify and rehabilitate the buildings and outdoor properties located around the world-renowned Harriet Tubman "Take My Hand" Mural created by artist Michael Rosato. Phase 1 of the NSV focuses on the rehabilitation of the now vacant, Historic Bambricks Card and Gift Shop building located at 428 to 432 Race Street in Historic Downtown, Cambridge, MD. Once this historic building is renovated, it will house five new minority-owned retail businesses on the first floor. The second floor will become the new headquarters office for Alpha Genesis CDC. It will also contain a 1,000 square foot rear outdoor exhibition deck overlooking the viewing area of the Harriet Tubman mural. The exhibition deck will be free and open to the public, with several exhibits about Harriet Tubman, the local history of Dorchester County, MD, and Maryland's Eastern Shore. On the first floor, Alpha Genesis CDC will open it's first youth entrepreneurial program. The venue is called Minty's Ice Cream Treats and More, honoring Harriet Tubman, whose childhood name…

This mural has brought thousands of visitors to our historic downtown however, the mural is located in a back parking lot with garbage cans, broken asphalt, and limited accessibility. Phase 2 of the North Star Village project creates a partnership with the City of Cambridge and the state of Maryland to create a multipurpose outdoor pavilion encompassing the mural, a 10,000 sq. ft. parking area. The pavilion is called the Harriet Tubman Pavilion, which sits adjacent to Cannery Way, an open space owned by the City of Cambridge. This area will host outdoor concerts, a public art gallery as well as outdoor festivals. During the pandemic, the outdoor appeal of this venue has made it extremely attractive for visitors seeking safe outdoor spaces. Once renovated, this area, which also shares the rear lot with the Harriet Tubman Museum and Education Center (stop #3 on the Underground Railroad Byway), will consist of several components. First, a solar panel called the Harriet Tubman…

This mural has had a positive economic impact by bringing thousands of new visitors to our downtown. Unfortunately, the mural is located in our back parking lot with garbage cans, broken asphalt, and limited accessibility. The third phase of the North Star Village is the renovation of the Historic Woolworth building located at 420 to 422 Race St., Cambridge, MD. Given its size and proximity to the Harriet Tubman mural, this 18,000 sq. ft building is a key property in desperate need of rehabilitation. The rear of this property anchors all the adjacent buildings at the Harriet Tubman Mural. Alpha Genesis CDC was awarded over 9 million in State Historic Tax Credits(SHTC) to rehabilitate this property. The adaptive reuse will include 3 new retail stores on the first floor, and an expanded Art Bar venue in the rear. The second floor will have 17 residential units and a rooftop garden. Currently, Alpha Genesis utilizes the rear of the building for an Art Gallery and…

$0 spent
The 4 programs described on its FY2024 Form 990, listed largest first by expense. Program spending in total: $0.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $5k to $774k (+16760%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2021 77% · 2022 73% · 2023 96% · 2024 85%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
98% of ALPHA GENESIS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $2k → $19k.
2 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 31% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of ALPHA GENESIS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
ALPHA GENESIS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 31% of grant income and the top three 78%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
59% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund ALPHA GENESIS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 67% · 2022 40% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
ALPHA GENESIS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION draws 69% of its grant income from funders outside Maryland, across 3 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $38k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
