l e t t e r f r o m o u r B o a r d C h a i r & C E O Jennifer J. Polzin Jake Blumberg Past Chair, Board of Directors Chief Executive Officer 2022 Tubman Annual Report | 3 Passing of the Gavel. From L to R: Vice Chair & Past Chair Jake Blumberg, Board Chair Donnie Brown, CEO Jen Polzin Dear Friends and Supporters, We are excited to share our 2022 Annual Report with you! Here you’ll find all the essential financial information, our report card to the community on our annual strategic plan goals and racial equity work, and a bit about our great dreams for the future. 2022 also marks the completion of our most recent three-year strategic plan. You can learn more about the ways in which we’ve intentionally deepened our impact, extended our reach, and evaluated our successes in the report on our 2020-2022 Strategic Plan Report, a companion piece to this annual report which can be found on our website. Stepping back to look at both the big picture and tangible ways we’ve evolved as an organization to meet the evolving needs of the people and communities we serve—especially during these three years in particular—reminds us of both how far we’ve come and how much further we have to go. We’re already making significant progress on our 2023 goals, yet it’s what we see every single day walking alongside the people we serve on their journey from fear to freedom that keeps us inspired. All of the ways that survivors are transforming their lives and leading the way forward for others to find safety, hope, and healing—that’s the change that we get to be part of, and that you help make possible. And for that, we thank you. Harriet Tubman said that every great dream begins with a dreamer, and we have some big dreams for our future. By the end of 2025, our Great Dreams Campaign will raise $8.5 million dollars from the public and private sectors to invest in the places, programs, and people that make Tubman a unique and critical resource in our community. We’re excited to share that with the help of some of Tubman’s greatest champions, as of March 2023 we are nearly 40% toward our philanthropic goal—and we’d love to talk with you about the ways that you can join us to help bring the dreams of the people we serve a reality. You can expect to hear much more about the Campaign in the months ahead. We invite you to follow Tubman on social media, sign up for our monthly emails, or contact us directly at info@tubman.org. With our great gratitude,
