Holistic Services To Empower Our Community

Our organization, established to support the residents of Lincoln-Westmoreland affordable housing in Shaw, now aids over 300 families through a broad spectrum of educational and social initiatives. These encompass technology, literacy, the arts, vocational training, and direct employment, enriching lives in this rapidly gentrifying locale. We aim not only to preserve the rich heritage of this historically African-American community but also to enable its members to thrive amidst the changes. Recognizing early on the pivotal role of arts and humanities in our mission, we embarked on creating a cultural repository that celebrates Black heritage, fostering a sense of pride and belonging. This initiative has blossomed into a comprehensive arts program, acknowledged for its impact on community cohesion. Our approach integrates STEAM principles, weaving together the arts and sciences to offer holistic educational experiences.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Oct 01 - Sep 30

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.
