Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

To be more impactful in the area through our grantmaking. We hope to increase access for funds for area nonprofits and support organizations serving all residents in our community.

We have developed strategies to help us respond through our competitive grantmaking cycles, as well as, for proactive grantmaking. We are growing our unrestricted funds to be flexible in our grantmaking. We are having more conversations with community organizations about community needs and opportunities.

Growth of our unrestricted funds has allowed us the opportunity to pursue this objective as well as increased community involvement to collaborate with those organizations doing important work in our community. We are also embracing proactive grantmaking.

Over the last 5 years we have increased proactive grantmaking and increased flexibility with our competitive grant cycles. In 2020, we made our largest proactive grants to date. Our hope is to reduce barriers and increase access to funding for area nonprofits.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.

Data
  • We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
  • We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
Policies and processes
  • 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 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.
