Our Vision is to advance positive change in the lives of women, their families and the community, one woman at a time. 0 0 594270 61025 30024 For over 30 years, WEN has successfully impacted the lives of thousands of women who have come to WEN to create better lives for themselves and their families. WEN's strategic approach promotes the overall economic wellness of clients, focuses on building pathways to securing livable-wage jobs, and provides credit-building tools, financial education, and one-on-one coaching, leading them toward long-term financial stability. In fiscal year 2016-17, WEN served more than 700 women living in the Greater Kansas City area, all of whom have been chronically unemployed or chronically under-employed. Over three decades of dynamic programming, while influencing countless lives, is quite an accomplishment for any organization. We attribute our success to the numerous thought leaders, CEO's, volunteers, philanthropists, corporate sponsors and talented staff who have 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. Our model of service is a holistic approach to empowerment, ensuring barriers to client success can be overcome. Due to our long history in Kansas City, WEN is able to leverage relationships with many partners to positively impact families by connecting women with the resources they need to get ahead, both inside and outside our traditional programming. Our OneKC for Women alliance with the Women's Business Center, Women's Capital Connection and WE-Lend Initiative provides additional options for financial success for the clients we are so privileged to serve. WEN serves a broad spectrum of women throughout the Kansas City metro area who are unemployed, under-employed, new to the workforce or seeking to re-enter the workplace. Women must be at least 18 years old with a high school diploma or equivalent. 88% of WEN clients have incomes below the federal poverty level. Likewise, women who come to WEN face a variety of challenges to securing employment, including homelessness or unstable housing, finding and affording childcare, insufficient or nonexistent medical or mental health care, limited means of transportation, substance abuse, and recovery, and domestic violence. In the 2016-2017 program year, WEN served: 662 total clients, 370 new clients, and 74% of clients reside in Jackson County. Our Clients: 83% of clients are single or divorced, 25% of clients do not have stable housing, 28% of clients have children, 59% of clients report a household income of under $10,000, and 33% of clients are the sole provider of income for a household with dependent children. WEN 2016-2017 Program Outcomes: 185 self-reported jobs, 435 employer partners, 895 workshop attendees, 2,053 hours in job search lab, 139 clients served per month, and $14.38 average hourly full-time wage reported. 140000 0 0 In 2016-2017, the Women's Employment Network celebrated our 4th year as a Financial Opportunity Center. WEN continues to focus on enhancing the financial self-sufficiency of women. Our vision for WEN continues to evolve, as women have become 50% of the nation's workforce, enroll in college more than ever before, remain in poverty as single mothers, and become self-employed at 1.5 times the national average. Challenges and barriers remain much the same, but providing all options to gain sustainable wages and education is necessary for WEN to continue leading women to success. At WEN, women learn how to overcome their personal and professional barriers and experience a holistic curriculum that changes their lives, not just their resumes. In 2015, the FINRA Investor Education Foundation awarded the Kansas City Public Library (KCPL) a grant to partner with Women's Employment Network to provide financial literacy workshops and one-on-one financial coaching to community members. Targeted community members included: women of diverse groups, immigrants, and adults ages 55 and over. In the 2016-17 fiscal year, WEN continued to deliver financial workshops through the Kansas City Public Library system. Latoya Woods, WEN Client Services and Financial Coach created the curriculum for four separate financial workshops: Budgeting, Banking Basics, Credit, and Identity Theft. Through this collaboration, WEN reached multiple community partners to educate them on the availability of these workshops. Workshops have been offered at four library branch locations and presented at five community partner organizations. The FINRA grant was completed in January 2017. Through this grant and our partnership with the KCPL, we were able to put together a Money Matters Financial Education booklet that was authored by Latoya Woods, and is available to community partners at no charge. It will serve as a great takeaway for case managers and community partners. WEN staff recently delivered 200 copies of the booklet to Johnson County Multi Service Center for use at all four of their locations. Additionally, this booklet was translated into Somali and Spanish in an effort to provide financial education tools to a larger demographic. Additional non-profit organizations receive access to our financial workshops upon request. Program outcomes: 203 financial clients, 29 coaching clients each month, 42 participants improved credit score, and 47 participants decreased their outstanding collections. 0 0 0 734270 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 10 0 1 13 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 16 16 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X Sherry Turner 8165951296 920 Main Street Kansas City MO 64105 Megan McCurdy Chair 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Angela Hurt Vice Chair 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Kelly Murphy Secretary 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Pamela Breuckmann Treasurer 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Janice Blansit 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 Lily Hayes Maxwell Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Anab Abdulai Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Katheen Dodd 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 Stacy Paine Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Cyndi Swall Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Phyllis Collins Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Jen Regas Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Sherry Turner President 40 0 X 129086 0 11523 129086 0 11523 1 0 0 0 0 46133 0 361415 0 0 544539 15000 952087 Women's Business Center Fees 561000 30024 30024 0 0 0 0 0 0 30024 8443 0 0 8443 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2121 0 0 3395 2121 -3395 -1274 0 0 -1274 59460 361415 77599 -18139 0 -18139 0 971141 30024 0 -10970 61025 61025 144052 100837 28810 14405 396248 303650 3846 88752 52080 39667 1426 10987 39394 29546 2363 7485 21370 21370 3614 3614 24650 24650 3625 1577 2048 64186 41747 18547 3892 20565 18509 2056 112872 88456 12208 12208 1783 1783 7093 5828 1265 7851 6281 785 785 11142 8914 1114 1114 Campaign costs & donor acknowledgements 3978 1800 1000 1178 Prior year receivable adjustment 5080 0 5080 0 0 980608 734270 103484 142854 354730 266754 13146 13153 41691 106605 27346 26242 116245 106523 13878 9722 383646 428480 9242 9242 843679 860198 61078 47173 2000 0 0 61078 49173 X 782601 811025 0 0 0 0 782601 811025 843679 860198 -9467 37891 0 0 0 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 806022 686818 958223 917140 952087 4320290 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 806022 686818 958223 917140 952087 4320290 698709 3621581 5142 16738 36701 5637 8443 72661 0 0 0 0 0 0 34712 74 99 59 0 34944 4427895 416840 0.81790 0.78880 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Other Income - 2012: Contract income, refunds, and reimbursements; 2013: Petty cash adjustment; 2014: Payroll service credit; and 2015: Refunds and reimbursements.
