These programs provide PreK-12 students and the broader community with hands-on, standards-based field studies across the Potomac River Watershed and regional National Parks. A key component of this outreach is the Trash Free Potomac and Trash Free Schools programs, which engage both students and community members through education and action focused on litter reduction and watershed health. By integrating STEM programming, agricultural education, sensory exploration, and strategic partnerships, the Foundation empowers individuals to understand their place in the natural world and take an active role in protecting their local environment. 483604 Farm and Facilities/ Capital Projects: In 2025, the Alice Ferguson Foundation completed a comprehensive series of capital projects to ensure the safety, preservation, and operational efficiency of its historic campus. Key safety upgrades included the replacement of fire detection systems across the campus facilities, alongside significant electrical panels and power restoration for other key spaces. Structural integrity and climate resilience were prioritized through attic and basement insulation in the Farmhouse to improve energy efficiency. Further enhancements to the student and visitor experience included flooring replacements in the cabin, a redesigned fire circle for educational gatherings, and the installation of high-efficiency climate control (mini-splits) in the student accommodations. These investments preserve the Foundation's unique infrastructure, ensuring a safe and sustainable environment for hands-on environmental and agricultural programming. 1638921 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 16 0 1 34 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 12 12 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 MD X Elizabeth Johnson 3012925665 2001 Bryan Point Road Accokeek MD 20607 Stephen Kim Board President 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Dan Jackson Vice President 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Michael Berger Treasurer 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Ashlea Smith Sabeti Secretary 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Daniel Donohue Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kate Johnson Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Brian Kane Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Betsy Howes-Bean Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Tanya Surtees Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Joanne Aron Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Tyler Wolverton Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Brian Glasser Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Theresa Cullen Executive Director 40.00 X 157129 0 15568 157129 0 15568 1 0 1 0 0 4150 19253 756587 616719 10157 1396709 Educational programs 900099 338921 338921 338921 129962 129962 9736 0 9736 9736 9736 2387995 2257089 4662 130906 -4662 126244 126244 1458 19253 18317 -16859 -16859 Insurance Gain 900099 53628 53628 Miscellaneous income 900099 14632 14632 Rebates 900099 7361 7361 75621 2060334 338921 0 324704 172697 167227 5470 629130 609201 19929 18746 2310 16436 28114 6194 21920 64737 50827 13910 41874 41874 16923 16923 145523 118090 4393 23040 2875 2875 349762 327488 12914 9360 2573 2573 3518 3518 16199 12368 3763 68 8782 3720 4626 436 289814 249469 30944 9401 61496 54021 7475 Miscellaneous Expenses 30832 26338 3178 1316 Registration Fees 1870 1755 115 Taxes and Licenses 947 947 1886412 1638921 203870 43621 370276 445546 0 70909 11032237 2988743 8265525 8043494 2308720 2646058 2586 2066 10947107 11208073 130372 43740 16763 83447 147135 127187 X 10703782 10768665 96190 312221 10799972 11080886 10947107 11208073 173922 106992 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1837194 1984089 1598543 1155921 1396709 7972456 1837194 1984089 1598543 1155921 1396709 7972456 62486 7909970 70678 54407 82025 91802 139698 438610 16863 24574 5230 153057 77079 276803 8687869 960624 0.91050 0.88360 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10, Explanation of Other Income: Fundraising events - 2021 Amount: $ 12,400. 2022 Amount: $ 9,128. 2023 Amount: $ 5,230. 2024 Amount: $ 10,347. 2025 Amount: $ 1,458.
