Charting impact

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

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

Our main goal is to educate the community about philanthropy and to offer the services we provide that can assist them in doing so. Whether it is an individual donor, family, corporation, or nonprofit organization, we can provide services to assist them in meeting their charitable goals. We also provide services to other foundations, banks and nonprofit organizations that assist in building their capacity such as managing their investments or scholarship or grant programs for them for a fee.

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

We meet with donor prospects to share information and continue to follow up with them to ensure their questions are answered appropriately. We cultivate relationships to share the charitable services we offer. We also meet and educate professional advisors (attorneys, wealth managers and accountants) on our products as they are referral sources for new donors. We have collateral material that is specifically for the capacity building services that is shared with potential clients as well.

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

We have been providing philanthropic services to the community for almost 100 years, we always have a stellar audit, are fully transparent and our investment returns are very good. The additional capacity building services have been provided for over 10 years, with a proven effective track record for those we are in partnership with. We provide excellent customer service, have highly qualified and knowledgeable staff, and referrals from existing customers show that they are pleased with our services.

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

We continue to evaluate our strategic plan progress and revise it as necessary. We have developed new strategies to engage current donors and strengthen those relationships. There is still much to do, as always, there are new and improved ways to communicate with individuals. We have started a young professionals program to begin to engage a younger audience to educate the next generation on philanthropy. We have re-established our Professional Advisors Council as a way to deepen and strengthen relationships with advisors.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 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.

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 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.
