Impact evidence
Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.
Programs described in its return (4)
- $17,000 spent. Walk For Unity - Walk in the area of the city where there was a racial dividing line (housing). Gather at Manual Tech football field and walk to Urban Youth Academy. Over 1200 people attended. The walk helped create lasting friendships, connections, and people who signed up to help our cause.
- $1,500 spent. Second Saturday - We hosted these smaller meetings every other month to give the community a higher level of engagement with our programs and opportunities to connect and volunteer. We moved the meetings around the city to ensure we reached as many people as possible. We also offered a forum where attendees could ask questions and share ideas. These meetings were meant to be fun and educational!
- $500 spent. "The Underground" dance program - Each year, we help sponsor the city-wide dance program at the Kauffman Center for Performing Arts. This performance sparked the inception of Unite KC and is the catalyst and kickoff for the entire calendar of events for the year. There are school-aged groups as well as evening events that mark the start of Black History Month and the discussion of racial harmony in the community.
- $250 spent. Expungement Fair - Every year, we help host the Kansas City, Kansas expungement fair with the Wyandotte County District Attorney's office. This program helps individuals gain a new lease on life if they have kept a clean record for a prescribed number of years.
