Mission and programs · 2025

• SQFC continued growing the number of students served in all of our teaching platforms in 2025. Our adult and childrens classes in dance and drum had their highest enrollment this year requiring additional classes for our students. Our public-school residencies were completed in Willingboro Newark Jersey City Bayonne Hoboken Princeton Union City Kearny and Trenton New Jersey and exposed these students to dance and drum practices that led to memorable student performances in each of these cities. In sum approximately 600 students were part of SQFCs instructional programs in 2025.

  Expenses $67,093 · Grants $2,340 · Revenue $105,603

• With 49 performances logged in 2025 over 9,500 persons of all races and nationalities witnessed SQFCs Afro-Puerto Rican musical expressions. With the addition of our performance at the National Puerto Rican Day Parade in June 2025 - the largest Puerto Rican parade in the U.S. - an additional 250,000 people enjoyed live Bomba and Plena music with Segunda Quimbamba. Among the 259,000 persons who saw Segunda Quimbamba perform in 2025 we had over 7,000 public-school students who were introduced to Puerto Rican drum and dance traditions at assemblies in Hoboken Morris Plains Bayonne Newark Jersey City Toms River Princeton Berkeley Heights Paterson Bridgeton Irvington North Haledon Trenton Kearny Pleasantville New Jersey plus schools in Wilmington and Dover Delaware.

  Expenses $64,477 · Grants $2,340 · Revenue $74,602

• Reclaim The Block is SQFCs annual street music festival held in Jersey City. In 2025 it drew close to 500 people who enjoyed childrens arts and crafts food art and clothing vendors and live music from U.S. Puerto Rican and Peruvian musicians. The dance and drum ensemble Segunda Quimbamba closed the event with live participatory Bomba music. The festival was very well received by our neighbors in Jersey City and was made possible by the work of our volunteers.

  Expenses $16,277 · Revenue $13,030

Officers and directors · 2025

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 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.
