What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Fellowship Assistance

From its founding, WCBR has provided an important safety net to residents who have outlived their financial resources and are no longer able to afford their WCBR monthly fee. To date, no one has ever had to leave the community for lack of funds. The program also offers one-time financial assistance to a narrow class of prospective residents who are unable to fully pay the WCBR entrance fee but whose community ties and contributions make them deserving of special consideration.

Life Enrichment programming offers opportunities to enhance residents’ quality of life through cultural, educational, leisure and recreational activities. Gifts may support concerts, performances, lectures, art classes, music and art therapy, classes and instruction provided by local and regional professionals, Jessup Memorial Library needs, computer classes, and other group activities and events.

Data
  • We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
  • We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
  • We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
Policies and processes
  • We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
  • We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
  • We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
  • We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
