Our Vision is to advance positive change in the lives of women, their families and the community, one woman at a time. 0 0 991115 6649 39178 Since 1986, WEN has empowered women to build brighter futures for themselves, their families, and our shared community. We play a critical role in supporting women who are disproportionately impacted by systemic racism and patriarchal structures, helping them move beyond unemployment, underemployment, and cyclical poverty. WEN provides more than employment assistance-we promote personal growth. Our clients learn to recognize their strengths, set attainable goals, and work toward reducing debt to build long-term financial stability. We meet a vital community need by offering no-cost employment preparation and financial coaching. As the job market rapidly evolves through Applicant Tracking Systems and AI, WEN continues to adapt our tools and training to ensure successful job placement. Many clients require additional education on how modern hiring filters and technologies work, and WEN has responded by creating an introductory AI literacy certification for clients and the general public. WEN served 1,695 unduplicated clients this year (1,256 new), through both online and in-person programming. We also launched the Employers Connection program, offering small-group sessions where selected job seekers meet directly with employers twice per month. Our client demographics remain consistent: 68% live below the federal poverty level, 73% are single or divorced, and 51% identify as a person of color. 0 0 0 991115 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 11 0 1 11 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 15 15 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 139494 0 29031 Julie Pine Chair 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Megan Whitman Vice Chair 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Julie Bowen Treasurer 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Patrice M Brown Secretary 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Nicole Miller Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Cathy Baier 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 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 139494 0 29031 1 0 1 0 0 4675 0 375857 0 0 609648 5000 990180 Job Fair 561300 39178 39178 0 0 0 0 0 0 39178 21011 0 0 21011 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 522509 0 464180 0 58329 0 58329 0 0 58329 41710 375857 72344 -30634 0 -30634 471 471 0 0 471 1078535 39649 0 48706 6649 6649 172321 120625 34464 17232 624359 506103 9785 108471 76989 63471 -566 14084 55875 44141 2794 8940 30473 0 30473 0 7484 0 7484 0 42930 33825 0 9105 2794 543 0 2251 41029 24569 12100 4360 15190 13671 1519 0 186521 149217 18652 18652 5755 1783 3922 50 4210 1129 1919 1162 12872 10298 1287 1287 10363 8291 1036 1036 Donor Relationship 3299 0 0 3299 Data Management 1800 1800 0 0 Prior Year Adjustments 2740 0 2740 0 In-kind Donated Clothing 5000 5000 0 0 1308653 991115 127609 189929 137907 49855 13235 1 111374 118737 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 34275 34151 42050 30681 24242 11369 810987 703652 0 0 0 0 0 0 60553 367468 1192573 1285233 5938 54041 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 63604 367468 69542 421509 X 1029520 785652 93511 78072 1123031 863724 1192573 1285233 -230118 -29189 0 0 0 0 X 0 1 1 0 X 1364769 1116606 1192798 1030389 990181 5694743 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1364769 1116606 1192798 1030389 990181 5694743 883904 4810839 21229 19625 23747 23863 21011 109475 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 31 1638 471 2140 5806358 333141 0.82855 0.83345 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 2022-2024: Prior year refund.
