Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Our organization is aiming to open a Multicultural Community Service Center to serve 50,000 in the city of Houston. This place will seminars and after school programs for students. When parents are able to work from 9 AM to 5 PM, they are able to earn more money. Majority of juvenile crimes happen between 3 PM to 6 PM when students are home alone. Our goal is to have 250 families enrolled in our after school program. Another major is to obtain enough funding to obtain a van. A van will allow us to transport families to college and career readiness events and on college tours.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Our strategies for making this happen include applying for grant funding and obtaining sponsorships to obtain the funding needed to provide successful programs. With enough funding, we will be able to open a multicultural community service center. The President of the Liberian Association of Greater Houston is applying to 10 grants a week, to make this goal a reality
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Our capabilities for doing this are realistic because our President is a nonprofit consultant and has years of experience with writing grants.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We provided 11 students with scholarships in 2019 for the first time. In 2019, we held our first back to school drive. The Liberian Association of Greater Houston feed over 800 families in 2019 and provided over 115 toys to kids in need for the holidays. 96% of the students that attended our college tour enrolled in college.
