Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Page 1, Item B

The audited financial statements were completed after the original filing of the form 990. The amended form 990 reconciles to the audited financial statements.

Form 990, Page 2, Part III, Line 4A

Scribe held three seasons of programming during the first year of the grant period. Activities included workshops (multiweek, special learning sessions, film scholars, documentary history project for youth), screening series (producers' forum, storyville, body of work, street movies), community production programs (precious places, muslim voices, tenants of lenepahocking, power politics), radio programming (archival revival, local broadcasters, every voice, every vote election coverage, syndicated programming), distribution of our national screening series (we tell). We also supported regional artists in the region with two regranting programs; the philadelphia independent media fund and the philadelphia student mediamakers fund distributing 95,000 per year to grantees. Through these activities, scribe re-writes the media narrative that devalues cultural contributions to the region of people outside of the dominant group. Scribe's work in creating art and documenting culture offers new narratives and new visions to promote equity. The specific results we achieve are: 1) counter the harmful mass-media-narratives in order to honor the voices that are not always found in mainstream books, films, or museum exhibits. 2) work within neighborhoods to make connections between cultural experiences and current-day-communities. 3) share media and train people to produce works that acknowledge harm, find value in lives and cultures from outside the dominant group, and promote greater understanding of these experiences.

Form 990, Page 2, Part III, Line 4B

We continue to expand the programming offerings on wpeb 88.1fm, scribe's local radio station. We add new broadcasters monthly. We continued the program archival revival, scribe's podcast and radio series built from unedited interviews from our 39 year old archive. These programs are broadcast weekly and available to download as podcasts. The series includes extended interviews with louise james (late member of the move organization) and dr. Dubois williams (grand-daughter of w.e.b du bois). Other guests include charisse lillie, aunt cecilia, wilson goode, julie dash, herbert aptheker, john henrick clarke, estelle james, john akomfrah, and vickie garvin. We also began west philadelphia voices, a forum to discuss political issues and voting access during the 2023 local election cycle.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1SCRIBE HELD THREE SEASONS OF PROGRAMMING DURING THE FIRST YEAR OF THE GRANT PERIOD. ACTIVITIES INCLUDED WORKSHOPS (MULTIWEEK, SPECIAL LEARNING SESSIONS, FILM SCHOLARS, DOCUMENTARY HISTORY PROJECT FOR YOUTH), SCREENING SERIES (PRODUCERS' FORUM, STORYVILLE, BODY OF WORK, STREET MOVIES), COMMUNITY PRODUCTION PROGRAMS (PRECIOUS PLACES, MUSLIM VOICES, TENANTS OF LENEPAHOCKING, POWER POLITICS), RADIO PROGRAMMING (ARCHIVAL REVIVAL, LOCAL BROADCASTERS, EVERY VOICE, EVERY VOTE ELECTION COVERAGE, SYNDICATED PROGRAMMING), DISTRIBUTION OF OUR NATIONAL SCREENING SERIES (WE TELL). WE ALSO SUPPORTED REGIONAL ARTISTS IN THE REGION WITH TWO REGRANTING PROGRAMS; THE PHILADELPHIA INDEPENDENT MEDIA FUND AND THE PHILADELPHIA STUDENT MEDIAMAKERS FUND DISTRIBUTING 95,000 PER YEAR TO GRANTEES. THROUGH THESE ACTIVITIES, SCRIBE RE-WRITES THE MEDIA NARRATIVE THAT DEVALUES CULTURAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE REGION OF PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF THE DOMINANT GROUP. SCRIBE'S WORK IN CREATING ART AND DOCUMENTING CULTURE OFFERS NEW NARRATIVES AND NEW VISIONS TO PROMOTE EQUITY. THE SPECIFIC RESULTS WE ACHIEVE ARE: 1) COUNTER THE HARMFUL MASS-MEDIA-NARRATIVES IN ORDER TO HONOR THE VOICES THAT ARE NOT ALWAYS FOUND IN MAINSTREAM BOOKS, FILMS, OR MUSEUM EXHIBITS. 2) WORK WITHIN NEIGHBORHOODS TO MAKE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN CULTURAL EXPERIENCES AND CURRENT-DAY-COMMUNITIES. 3) SHARE MEDIA AND TRAIN PEOPLE TO PRODUCE WORKS THAT ACKNOWLEDGE HARM, FIND VALUE IN LIVES AND CULTURES FROM OUTSIDE THE DOMINANT GROUP, AND PROMOTE GREATER UNDERSTANDING OF THESE EXPERIENCES.
