Mission and programs · 2024

• During 2024, the 369th Experience, Student Band Members, and Band Directors rehearsed virtually and in person to make special appearances in Washington, DC, September 1-4, 2025. The significance of this opportunity cannot be overstated. This was a once-in-a-lifetime and nonpartisan event. Lt. Col. Dwayne S. Milburn (RET), Special Advisor and Guest conductor, worked along with Anthony S. Jones, The 369th Experience Band Director. These performances were sponsored in part by the Doughboy Foundation. Despite the 2021 Congressional Gold Medal Act that officially recognizes the Harlem Hellfighters, their story and the story of Lt. James Reese Europe remain largely unknown to many generations. While select museums display the Hellfighters' medals, universities archive their sheet music, and military institutions can document their combat achievements, none of these organizations can fully capture and transmit the groundbreaking musical innovations that James Reese Europe and his band brought to both military music and American jazz. This is where the 369th Experience Inc. plays an irreplaceable role by recreating the original 369th Infantry Regimental Band with young musicians with the musical background and skill to play Europe's intricate, syncopated rhythms. The Harlem Hellfighters were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal of Honor at the US Capitol. Four years after the Congressional Gold Medal Act (H.E. 3642) was signed into law, and more than 100 years after our heroic Black and Puerto Rican American men returned home from World War I, the posthumous award was presented in recognition of the 369th Infantry Regiment (aka Harlem Hellfighters) on September 3, 2025. Those performances included the National World War I Memorial, the French Embassy/La Maison Francaise and Emancipation Hall at the U. S. Capitol's official ceremony.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 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.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.
