Our Vision is to advance positive change in the lives of women, their families and the community, one woman at a time. 0 0 983474 13812 55674 WEN has a critical role to play in supporting women who are disproportionately impacted by systemic racism and patriarchal structures as they strive to reach their fullest potential beyond unemployment, underemployment, and cyclical poverty. WEN provides more than help finding work; we also promote personal development. At WEN, women learn to see their strengths, establish attainable goals, and work toward debt reduction so they can build financial stability. Since 1986, WEN has empowered women to create a brighter future for themselves, their families, and the community we share. WEN is meeting the need in our community by providing women with no-cost access to employment preparation and financial coaching. Below are the outcomes achieved during our most recent program year (2023-2024): WEN served 1,115 unduplicated clients, including 878 new clients. 112 unduplicated clients received one-on-one financial coaching. WEN hosted 122 personal and professional development workshops for 1,501 attendees. 47 WEN clients reported that they increased their monthly net income; 14 said they increased their net worth. WEN serves underserved, underemployed, and unemployed women living in the Greater Kansas City Metropolitan Area. WEN clients are 36% Black, 33% white, 16% Latiné, 11% Asian, and 4% indigenous. The women we serve are ages 20-64 (with an average age of 49) and live in the KC metro area (74% in MO, 26% in KS). 32% of WEN clients live below the federal poverty level and 89% are very low income, earning less than 50% of the Kansas City metro's median income. 12% self-report that they live with a disability. WEN continues to offer the three-week Three Pillars to Success in-person course (est. 2022), empowering women to focus on themselves, recommit to their goals, and renew their passion as they take steps toward financial independence. During the 2023-2024 fiscal year, for WEN On The Road, WEN staff focused on deepening their engagement with clients. WEN's efforts paid off: 30% of clients had three or more interactions with staff - an increase of 8% over last year. Through this work, women were encouraged to establish positive, long-term relationships with WEN's staff and continue to use WEN as a resource to support goal setting, financial management, networking, and career success. 0 0 0 983474 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 9 0 1 13 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 17 17 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X X X Sherry Turner 8168228083 4328 Madison Avenue Kansas City MO 64111 Sherry Turner President and CEO 40 0 X 145296 0 24325 Stacey Paine Chair 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Julie Pine Vice Chair 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Nicole Miller Secretary 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Julie Bowen Treasurer 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Cathy Baier Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Patrice M Brown Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Stacey Callands Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Kelly Eschweiler Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Amber K Goering Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Sharon Holmes Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Shanee Kimber Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Arlene Mockapetris Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Jahna Riley Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Rachel Smith Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Sylvya J Stevenson Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Toni Walsh Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Megan Whitman Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Kimberly Jones - non voting Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 145296 0 24325 1 0 1 0 0 20826 0 378359 0 0 631204 5000 1030389 Job Fair 561300 55674 55674 0 0 0 0 0 0 55674 23863 0 0 23863 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 247786 0 231727 0 16059 0 16059 0 0 16059 34860 378359 76892 -42032 0 -42032 Prior year check write off 900099 1638 1638 0 0 0 0 0 0 1638 1085591 57312 0 -2110 13812 13812 162436 113705 32487 16244 594327 481908 9067 103352 78943 64268 13 14662 53955 42951 2916 8088 27258 0 27258 0 7605 0 7605 0 43926 36000 0 7926 15381 11841 0 3540 35069 21755 10514 2800 18376 16538 1838 0 188718 150974 18872 18872 10102 4434 5545 123 5802 784 3070 1948 11771 9417 1177 1177 10359 8287 1036 1036 Donor Relationship 3129 0 0 3129 Donor Acknowledgement 635 0 0 635 Data Management 1800 1800 0 0 Prior Year Adjustment 4650 0 4650 0 5000 5000 0 0 1293054 983474 126048 183532 386989 137907 13216 13235 109166 111374 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 34114 34275 43883 19641 21868 24242 735788 810987 0 0 0 0 0 0 226468 60553 1527609 1192573 3004 5938 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 226468 63604 229472 69542 X 1232105 1029520 66032 93511 1298137 1123031 1527609 1192573 -207463 32357 0 0 0 0 X 0 1 1 0 X 1115620 1364769 1116606 1192798 1030389 5820182 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1115620 1364769 1116606 1192798 1030389 5820182 880659 4939523 16248 21229 19625 23747 23863 104712 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 31 1638 1669 5926563 282273 0.83345 0.84751 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 2022: Prior year refund; 2023: Prior year refund.
