Charting impact

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

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

We will be offering 4-$1000.00 scholarships, one to a high school senior and 3 to the local community college for adults who wish to return to school for a CTE certificate or diploma.

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

Continue to monitor the progress of our programs, reach out to volunteers and be an actively involved in our community to understand the needs and do our best to meet them.

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

Continue to fundraise and be actively involved in our community.

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Nov 01 - Oct 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990

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 ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
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 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.
