Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
By the end of 2025, KCM will manage a diversified income portfolio with continual annual growth.
By the end of 2025, KCM will acquire a facility with sufficient space to meet current and future growth.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

Increase the number of Covenant churches by 2 per year
Increase new businesses by 10 per year
Increase yearly fundraising goal amount to acquire $1 million net by 2025

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Katy Christian Ministries has several staff and Board driven committees which meet on a monthly basis - Operations Committee, Finance Committee and Development Committee. The task of each committee is to review and evaluate the status of meeting the organization's strategic goals and the yearly program goals. Both the 5-year Strategic Plan and the Programs yearly goals have specific action steps, which the committees can review to determine the percentage of goal completion.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
KCM meet the Bronze, Silver and Gold GuideStar Levels and will begin the process of working on the Platinum Level.
In Q4 of 2020, KCM purchased a larger facility to provide additional work space for the organizational program growth. The facility will be ready for move-in September 2021.
In 2019, KCM opened a second Resale Store to assist with revenue growth .

Last updated: 05/16/2023GuideStar partnered with Equity in the Center - an organization that works to shift mindsets, practices, and systems to increase racial equity - to create this section. Learn more
- We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
- We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
- We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
- 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 disaggregate data by demographics, including race, in every policy and program measured.
- 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.
- 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 have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
- We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
- We measure and then disaggregate job satisfaction and retention data by race, function, level, and/or team.
- 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.
