Mission and programs · 2025

• Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing Park is currently Vibrant Places, Inc.'s primary focus, as a premier example of place-centered investments driving an increased sense of community belonging. The Park was constructed in the historic LaVilla neighborhood in Jacksonville, Florida, where it honors two of Jacksonville's most famous residents, James Weldon Johnson and John Rosamond Johnson. The Johnson brothers wrote "Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing," often called the Black National Anthem, at their home in the LaVilla neighborhood between 1900 and 1905.Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing Park was designed by world-renowned MacArthur Foundation "Genius Grant" recipient Walter Hood. The park incorporates elements of the Johnson brothers and LaVilla's cultural and built history while making space for a more inclusive future.The vision for Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing park comes after years of planning, input meetings, and discussions with community stakeholders about how to best revitalize LaVilla, a once bustling and vibrant neighborhood alive with arts, culture, and entrepreneurship.Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing Park is designed to be a destination for residents and visitors to learn about Jacksonville's dynamic history and participate in programs and activities that allow everyone to feel they belong. The Park is activated regularly through partnerships with the City of Jacksonville and individual activators, with an expansive view of the opportunities for vibrant programming at the Park. Park activations are curated by a community-led Vibrant Places Collective, who help to ensure the LaVilla community's voice is reflected in the programming at the Park.

• Vibrant Places, Inc. has begun accepting donations and will soon contribute to the re-creation of Augusta Savage's monumental sculpture Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing ("The Harp"). World-renowned sculptor Augusta Savage was born in Green Cove Springs in 1892 and spent her formative years in Jacksonville. This internationally celebrated work was originally a 16-foot plaster sculpture created for the 1939 New York World's Fair but was ultimately destroyed due to lack of funds. This project seeks to re-create the sculpture at its original scale in bronze for the first time, restoring a significant work of American art with deep Northeast Florida roots for lasting impact. This project supports tourism and economic activity, provides educational enrichment in the historic LaVilla neighborhood, and advances a publicly-supported effort to honor Jacksonville's artistic history.This project is also supported by the City of Jacksonville, the University of Florida and local philanthropy. The Cultural Council of Greater Jacksonville, the official Local Arts Agency by ordinance for the City of Jacksonville, will oversee artist selection, fabrication, and installation through its Art in Public Places program.

As filed on the 2025 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Listed in Part VII

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
