The "A" stands for AGRICULTURE. Our youth program is focused education and outreach to youth about the diversity of STEM careers in agriculture, the environment, and natural resources. Our most active program area is UJAMAA COOPERATIVE FARMING ALLIANCE (UCFA). The mission of UCFA is to increase the number of BIPOC growers of culturally meaningful heirloom seeds. We accomplish this mission through SEED FARMING EDUCATION activities, SEED FARMING activities, and SEED CONSERVATION & PRESERVATION activities. 0 0 143450 50830 62929 SEED FARMING EDUCATION: Through the Ujamaa Academy, the Ira Wallace Seed School, and public workshops and lectures, UCFA provides BIPOC growers and others with hands-on instruction in seed farming and seed saving both via online classes and on-site face-to-face learning. Ujamaa educators also produce curricula, children's books, and other projects to promote seed education for young people. 4308 27956 45456 SEED FARMING: Through partners such as the Seed Farm at Princeton University, The Utopian Seed Project, Experimental Farm Network, as well as partnerships with other universities and organizations, UCFA grows culturally meaningful seed crops and pursues research on the art and science of heirloom plants. In addition, on four acres in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, UCFA has converted Tayman Field, formerly a terraced organic vegetable farm, into a seed farm and training site. 22242 0 66267 SEED CONSERVATION & PRESERVATION: UCFA works to conserve heritage varieties of culturally important crop species both at our central seed hub in Maryland and at regional seed hubs across the US. Through UJAMAA SEEDS, we provide culturally meaningful heirloom seeds, mainly through online sales, but also at conferences, community events, and market days. Seeds are also produced for both free distribution within our network and for sale to the public. Distributing heirloom seeds helps preserve heritage varieties, and contributes to biodiversity, as well as a more resilient and sustainable food system. 7029 2587 2587 Steam Onwards youth programs provide out of school opporyunities for youth to engage in establishing school and community gardens, sgro forestry eexplorations and the scientific monitoring of local strams in their communities. 7029 2587 2587 177029 1 1 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 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 X 7 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 MD X BONNETTA ADEEB 2405158558 1908 CATHERINE FRAN DRIVE ACCOKEEK MD 20607 BONNETTA ADEEB SEED FARMING EDUCATION DIRECTOR 70 X 12466 0 0 ALEXIS YAMASHITA NESARE GRANT CO-PROJECT DIRECTOR 25 0 X 11066 0 0 HASSAN ADEEB SEED SHOP DIRECTOR 60 0 X 10581 0 0 RICHARD OTIS CARTER SEED SHOP & FARM MANAGER 65 0 X 10225 0 0 CHANDA ROBINSON BANKS NESARE GRANT CO-PROJECT DIRECTOR 25 0 X 10066 0 0 NATHAN KLIENMAN SEED OPERATIONS- Contracted 30 X 8706 0 0 KATHERINE ANDERSON NESARE GRANT-Contracted 20 0 X 8109 0 0 DIANE FISHER YOUTH PROJECTS DIRECTOR 25 0 X 7800 0 0 TOMIA MACQUEEN SEED HUB COORDINATOR 30 0 X 5610 0 0 ROXANNE MASTERS SEED HUB COORDINATOR 25 0 X 4400 0 0 LINA JOANNE BIRD FARM MANAGER 20 0 X 4120 0 0 KAREN BOWLDING PUBLICATIONS & NESARE GRANT-CONTRACTED 20 X 4015 0 0 CHRIS SMITH SEED BREEDING PROJECT DIRECTOR 18 0 X 3414 0 0 SISTAH SEEDS SEED FARMING EDUCATOR 15 X 3123 0 0 SONYA HARRIS SEED DESCRIPTION WRITER & TEACHER 15 0 X 3000 0 0 JENNIFER BRYANT SEED SHOP CONTRACTED SERVICES 15 0 X 3000 0 0 GORDON REED NESARE GRANT CONTRACTOR 12 0 X 2775 0 0 EBONY MALONE FARMING EDUCATOR 12 0 X 2500 0 0 ANNA-ELLIS GILBERT SEED HUB COORDINATOR 12 0 X 2400 0 0 AMIRAH MITCHELL SEED FARMING EDUCATOR 12 0 X 2350 0 0 JORDAN COLLINS NESARE GRANT CONTRATOR 12 0 X 2250 0 0 JUSTICE MADDEN SOCIAL MEDIA CONTRACTOR 10 0 X 2125 0 0 CHRISTIAN KEEVE NESARE GRANT CONTRACTOR 10 0 X 2125 0 0 FATIMAH HASAN ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT 20 0 X X 2000 0 0 ALLAND LEANDRE CIENCE AND TECH EDUCATIONAL CONTRACTOR 10 0 X X 1375 0 0 GARRETT GRADDY LOVELACE AGRICULTURE POLICY CONTRACTED 10 0 X 1125 0 0 JASMINE HART VOLUNTEER 8 0 X 1000 0 0 MICHELE COLEMAN FARM VOLUNTEER 8 0 X 1000 0 0 FAITH BISHOP FARM VOLUNTEER 8 0 X 1000 0 0 MICHAEL CARTER JR FARMING ADVISOR -CONTRACTED 6 0 X 1000 0 0 KRITCHANAN YAMPAI MARKETING MATERIALS DESIGNER 5 0 X 1000 0 0 135726 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 288000 74374 0 0 362374 SEED SALES 455219 66279 66279 0 0 0 0 0 0 66279 0 0 0 0 0 66279 25804 40475 40475 0 0 0 469128 106754 0 0 133726 133726 451 451 17869 17869 3160 3160 6789 6789 6136 6136 6398 6398 2500 2500 177029 177029 0 0 135103 266475 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 135103 266475 0 0 X 0 0 135103 266475 135103 266475 135103 266475 292099 -160727 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 8807 73691 60786 256912 362374 762570 8807 73691 60786 256912 362374 762570 762570 762570 1 0.64943 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Form 990 Part VI Line b Prior to the next Steam Onward Board Meeting the 990 will be reviewed by the Steam Onward Boad of Directors.

Steam Onward's Public Documents are available through Maryland Business Express and Guidestar.org Steam Onward has been seeking the services of a bookeeper to assist with our financials since we loss the services of our bookkeper bcause she moved to another state. . This has been a daunting task because few bookkepers know how to do books for a non-profit organization. We even contacted QUICKBOOKS ONLINE to assist us in how to seyup a Chart of Accounts for our non-profit which has four major program areas. Eventually we did find a CPA willing to work with us. He has been very helpful, but he was not willing to do work on our back financials such as 2024. Therefore we had to internally figure out how to catogorize bank transactions for 2024
