What Segunda Quimbamba Folkloric Center Inc does
Mission
To promote the preservation of folkloric music and dance of Puerto Rico especially the Bomba and the Plena of Puerto Rico through teaching performances recordings and publications. SQFC creates spaces where these Afro-Puerto Rican drumming and dancing traditions manifest themselves in the Puerto Rican diaspora. We strive to celebrate and share our drumming and dancing traditions with Puerto Ricans and others who seek to collaborate and learn about this Afro-Puerto Rican folklore especially and the Afro-Latino influences in Latin American culture in general.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
SQFC continued growing the number of students served in all of our teaching platforms in 2025. Our adult and childrens classes in dance and drum had their highest enrollment this year requiring additional classes for our students. Our public-school residencies were completed in Willingboro Newark Jersey City Bayonne Hoboken Princeton Union City Kearny and Trenton New Jersey and exposed these students to dance and drum practices that led to memorable student performances in each of these cities. In sum approximately 600 students were part of SQFCs instructional programs in 2025.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2024 to 2025, from $79k to $111k (+40%).
