Our Vision is to advance positive change in the lives of women, their families and the community, one woman at a time. 0 0 892830 0 30020 In 1986, two Kansas City philanthropists and visionaries, Beth K. Smith and Marjorie Powell Allen, had a profound idea of how to "help women help themselves" and they worked to form the Women's Employment Network (WEN). With the involvement and support of hundreds of volunteers, donors, and dedicated staff, WEN has grown from a single classroom at Pioneer College to a 10,000 square foot facility in the heart of downtown Kansas City. Over the last thirty-four years, WEN has continued to work toward the mission and vision of its founders and has played an important role in the professional growth of women in Kansas City. At no cost to the women served, WEN has graduated hundreds of women from its programs while assisting thousands more through support services and community referrals. In the 2019-2020 program year, WEN served: 1,012 total clients, 400 of those being new clients. Women with a wide variety of backgrounds turn to WEN. Due to the ever-changing nature of economic forces, more and more women walk through our doors with significant work experience and who have achieved higher levels of education. As the demographics of our clients shift, our experienced program staff make the necessary adjustments to meet their needs. However, the primary focus of WEN's programming continues to be un- and under- employed women who are experiencing poverty. WEN receives referrals from area domestic violence shelters, therapists and counselors, community service and referral partners, and word-of-mouth recommendations. WEN has also recently experienced an increase in women who find out about WEN through social media and internet searches. Our Clients: 73% of clients are single or divorced, 55% of clients reside in Jackson County, 80% of clients are below the Federal Poverty Level, 52% of clients report an annual household income of under $10,000. In 2019-2020 WEN had the following program outcomes: $19.09 average hourly full-time wage reported (WEN's goal is $12.75). In 2019-2020 WEN had the following financial coaching outcomes: 189 financial clients, 37 coaching clients improved credit score, 25 coaching clients decreased their outstanding collections. Pre-COVID 19 WEN provide a 5 week training programs. WEN's face to face programing was interrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. WEN was able to successfully transition to a virtual format and provide 28 virtual workshops during this time. WEN was able to provide these virtual workshops though their partnerships with 14 organizations. 99203 0 0 WEN on the Road:This year was a positive and eventful one that saw huge growth in the number of women we were able to serve in the community, thanks in part to the launching of our new WEN on the Road initiative. WEN's continued growth and impact in Kansas City is a testament to the commitment and compassion of our community partners, our financial supporters, our volunteers, and our staff who have all contributed to WEN throughout the years. The support of the community is paramount to our success in supporting our clients as they navigate significant obstacles to financial self-sufficiency and personal discovery to become more than they thought they could be. We are excited as we look ahead to the upcoming year and beyond as we continue to make a difference in Kansas City - one woman at a time. WEN has come to understand the need for sharing our expertise beyond traditional parameters. In addition to our programming offered on-site at WEN's office, WEN made the strategic decision to offer workshops in collaboration with community partner organizations who are interested in introducing these topics to their clients. We have revamped our community offerings and launched WEN on the Road in October 2017, in an effort to reach communities of clients by meeting them where they physically reside. As we assess the needs of our clients and our community partners, we will create workshops to fit. Additionally, WEN on the Road will increase efficiencies among our nonprofit partners by helping to train and inform partner agency staff, and better achieve a common goal: empowering clients to achieve long-term financial stability. We look forward to this new venture and increasing our outreach in the community to advance positive change in the lives of women, their families, and the community. Through WEN on the Road, WEN offers 11 different workshop offerings covering financial and workforce related topics. 2019-2020 WEN on the Road Outcomes: 105 attendees, and 32 community partners. COVID halted WEN on the Road in March 2020. All services were converted to digital and partner organizations were invited to participate in workshops that were also open to the general public. 0 0 0 992033 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 8 0 9 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 13 13 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X Sherry Turner 8168228083 4328 Madison Avenue Kansas City MO 64111 Sherry Turner President and CEO 40 0 X 145701 0 15624 Angela Hurt Chair 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Kimberly Jones Vice Chair 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Phyllis Collins Secretary 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Jen Regas Treasurer 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Anab Abdulai Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Janice Blansit Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Colleen Browne Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Katheen Dodd Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Kiersten Firquain Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Glenda Friesen Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Sonia Garapaty Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Victoria Kandt Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Teresa Kellett Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Stacy Paine Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Cyndi Swall Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 145701 0 15624 1 0 1 0 0 6840 0 361317 0 0 747463 25000 1115620 Women's Business Center Fees 561000 30020 30020 0 0 0 0 0 0 30020 16248 0 0 16248 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 196529 0 204433 0 -7904 0 -7904 -7904 0 0 0 361317 7043 -7043 0 -7043 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1146941 22116 0 9205 X 0 0 43307 43307 0 0 0 0 167090 117982 30870 18238 375090 302926 0 72164 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 53975 41021 2699 10255 37323 28366 1866 7091 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 22635 0 22635 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 75902 70806 5096 0 9377 2129 0 7248 76069 55902 7911 12256 23126 20813 2313 0 0 0 0 0 355592 284474 35559 35559 5573 2634 2939 0 0 0 0 0 4297 2156 1781 360 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 12293 9835 1229 1229 10359 8287 1036 1036 Donor Relationship 825 0 0 825 Data Management 1395 1395 0 0 PY Receivable Adjustment 7384 0 7384 0 5426 0 5426 0 1287038 992033 128744 166261 241058 258683 13175 13191 120656 105615 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 24512 38338 46428 30290 10852 16138 511117 536767 0 0 0 0 0 0 9242 9241 930612 977973 29986 31373 0 0 2000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 114191 0 60152 31986 205716 X 809889 699757 88737 72500 898626 772257 930612 977973 X -140097 13730 0 0 0 -2 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 917140 952087 1218451 888584 1115620 5091882 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 917140 952087 1218451 888584 1115620 5091882 767386 4324496 5637 8443 10426 18332 16248 59086 0 0 5130 0 0 5130 59 0 201 428 0 688 5156786 347553 0.83860 0.82684 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 2014: Payroll service credit; 2015: Refund and reimbursement; 2017: Prior period expense checks voided; 2018: Refund on previous period insurance policy.
