Our storytelling mediums (books, video, podcast, exhibits) feature authentic, first-person accounts told BY the immigrants, acting as a counterweight to the negative rhetoric and prevailing stereotypes about the current wave of immigrants. By creating empathy for the immigrant experience, we generate a breakthrough in how immigrants are perceived and integrated, reducing bias and challenging the unjust norms that arise from systemic discrimination. Stories not only empower the teller, whose life experiences and unique contributions become valuable and validated through sharing, but they also educate the broader public and help us see how we all share the experience of being human. 12 12 4 30 0 0 183862 309850 44171 3973 8 21 35639 -6798 263680 307046 0 0 0 0 188796 204412 0 0 38423 85181 116720 273977 321132 -10297 -14086 160290 111230 500 0 159790 111230 Our mission is to integrate people across cultures and immigration histories, promoting tolerance and understanding among immigrants and their new communities through the art of storytelling. 0 0 233881 397836 We achieve our program objectives and our mission through online videos, traveling exhibits, auto-biographical books and teaching guides, speaking events, Story Stitch Circles, and a podcast. Our 500 online video narratives of immigrants from over 150 countries are viewed 350,000 times annually. We have displayed our 10 traveling exhibits at over 200 locations and they have been viewed by over 200,000 people. Our eleven books have sold over 42,000 copies since May 2016. Our books have won several national awards, including Best Multicultural Non-Fiction Chapter Book from the Moonbeam Children's Book Awards, and others. We have held in-person and virtual book readings at schools, libraries, universities, conferences, writing festivals and churches that have reached over 25,000 people. Our staff has given lectures and trainings throughout the Twin Cities in schools, at organizations, with public agencies, and at conferences. These presentations often include immigrant storytellers. Together with 70 community members in Minneapolis and St. Paul, we co-created Story Stitch, a conversational card deck designed to facilitate telling stories, opening minds, and helping people get to know their neighbors. We've sold 5,000 decks, trained 150 people in Story Stitch Circle facilitation, and engaged over 100,000 people of different backgrounds in deep story sharing. In March 2020 we used the co-creation process to come up with Virtual Story Stitch with additional questions related to the Coronavirus pandemic. We're in the midst of translating the Story Stitch cards into 6 languages: Korean, Arabic, Spanish, Norwegian, Hmong, German. In November 2019, we launched a podcast and shared a story of an immigrant once every 2 weeks on every major podcast platform. We pivoted the podcast series to #LoveYourAsianNeighors in response to the Coronavirus Pandemic and the increased cases of xenophobia across the country. Beyond Allyship is our newest conversational series focused on the ways in which a variety of cultural and immigrant communities can stand in greater solidarity with our Black communities. 0 0 0 Intentionally blank 0 0 0 233881 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 10 0 4 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 12 12 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 MN X Aaliyah Hannah 6128897635 2611 First Avenue South Minneapolis MN 55408 Aaliyah Hannah Co-Director 40 X 78686 0 0 Tea Rozman Clark Co-Director 40 X 64854 0 0 Aasma Shaukat MD Chair/Treasurer 2 X 0 0 0 Richard Benton Vice Chair 2 X 0 0 0 Jasmine Ceron Secratary 2 X 0 0 0 Merle Greene Governance Committee chair 2 X 0 0 0 Nicole Montana Board Member 2 X 0 0 0 John Medeiros Board Member 2 X 0 0 0 Marina Aleixo Board Member 2 X 0 0 0 Landen Parkin Board Member 2 X 0 0 0 Marta Fraboni Board Member 2 X 0 0 0 Mirdalys Tweeton Board Member 2 X 0 0 0 Vanja Pantic Board Member 2 X 0 0 0 Yvette Baudelaire Board Member 2 X 0 0 0 143540 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 19376 0 0 290474 0 309850 3973 3973 0 0 3973 21 21 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 19376 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 75354 82152 -6798 -6798 0 0 0 307046 -2804 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 133980 80388 26796 26796 0 0 0 0 40834 33542 7292 0 13160 10528 1316 1316 16438 13150 1644 1644 1708 1708 16561 13249 1656 1656 20201 16161 2020 2020 22157 19941 2216 0 7575 7575 0 0 Staff Expenses 6542 327 5888 327 Stipends and Contractors 41976 37312 0 4664 321132 233881 48828 38423 85721 62159 11549 25161 17316 49408 20206 160290 111230 500 0 500 0 X 159790 111230 0 0 159790 111230 160290 111230 X -14086 0 0 0 0 -34474 X 0 0 0 X 116918 159108 228270 154171 290219 948686 189117 45409 90560 152525 79582 557193 0 44 33116 29698 27376 90234 306035 204561 351946 336394 397177 1596113 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1596113 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 306035 204561 351946 336394 397177 1596113 1 0.99960 0 0 X Schedule A, Part I, Line 10 N/A RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 307046 0 0 0 0 0 307046 0 0 0 307046 321132 0 0 0 0 0 321132 0 0 0 321132 Gala 19376 0 19376 0 0 0 0 0 2927 0 0 19376 0 19376 0 0 0 0 0 2927 2927 16449 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b A complete copy was sent to all board of directors by email.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 The treasurer compiles research on competitive data, recommends a level of compensation and the entire board votes Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 All documents are readily available to be provided upon request. Form 990, Part XI, Line 9 During year-end reconciliation, the organization conducted a review of its balance sheet accounts. As a result, an adjustment of $34,474 was recorded to reflect corrections to beginning asset balances. The majority of this adjustment ($29,206) was due to a write-down of beginning inventory to more accurately reflect current valuation and actual inventory on hand. The remaining amount reflects minor corrections to other asset accounts and prior year balances to ensure alignment with audited financial statements. The organization was unable to file Form 990 on time due to unforeseen circumstances beyond its control. Specifically, the staff member responsible for preparing and filing the return experienced significant personal and family medical emergencies, which prevented the timely completion and submission of the required filing. Once the organization was able to resume normal operations, immediate steps were taken to complete and file the return as soon as possible. The delay was not due to willful neglect but rather to reasonable cause, and the organization remains committed to full compliance with IRS filing requirements.
