1 other organization in the IRS Business Master File lists the same street address. matched by us

We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2023

• The Black Archives of Mid-America in Kansas City is very excited and proud of our accomplishments over the past year. We have seen our visitor numbers increase significantly, with more young people visiting our museum. Our programs for older adults have increased with the Eggs and Enlightenment Group meeting every Friday at the Black Archives; Our community outreach has increased. We have gone to senior care centers with our "Picture Parties" taking photos from our collection and having the residents identify the people in the pictures. Our collections have grown, and we are preserving the history and culture of people of African descent more efficiently with digitization. We are proud of our programs for young people. Our annual Stop the Violence Basketball tournament has a farther reach than before. Young men came from St. Louis, Columbia, Texas, Kansas City, MO, Kansas City, KS, Lawrence, KS, St. Joseph, MO and other sites. It was wonderful to hear them say, "Next year we're going to beat you,", and other "wolf tickets" confirming that the event was a success, the young men had a day of peace, and they valued the tournament. We also were pleased with some of our other Youth Empowerment events like the "fashion show," which was much more than that. Young people who are interested in the fashion industry came, learned about fashion merchandising, design and how to walk the catwalk at the fashion show. We appealed to those with artistic talents as they helped us to create and design study guides for middle to high schoolers and performed historical re-enactments. This year marked the 50th Anniversary of the Black Archives. Our gala was packed to capacity. Michael Harrington appealed to participants of all ages. We were excited to see that the Black Archives survived 50 tumultuous years, is thriving and still growing.

Officers and directors · 2023

As listed in Part VII of the 2023 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
