ADMINISTRATIVE & FUNDRAISING - The Chapter is currently funded by the concession stand program, annual membership fees, grants from the Groove Phi Groove International Office, and general individual donations. The Chapter pays all costs associated with chapter administration, program operations, donations, and related administrative expenses. During 2023 we continued to transition out of Corona Virus (COVID-19) pandemic. Our fundraising through the concessions stand program returned fully. Our outreach to organizations continued as reflected in the Charitable & Community programs. We did many administrative activities virtually. Expenditures included our organizational expenses to the GPhiG International office ($1,275); IT (communications) costs to improve and maintain communications within our operations ($715); committees activities ($1,358); fundraising (non-event type) expenditures ($3,072); memorials, sickness & family relief ($650); GL & bonding insurances ($617); DC Govt biennial Corp Fees ($0); P.O. Box and mailings ($231); Bank fees and inter accounts transfers ($848), and other transactions ($1,593). 0 10360 COMMUNITY PROGRAMS - Due to the lesser continuation of the 2020 Corona Virus (COVID-19) pandemic our community support activities are increasing. Nevertheless, we continued to support the Feed the Community initiative through our active participation at monthly meals distribution. We supported the Groove Phi Groove three major initiatives Feeding America, Good STEM, and Good Water ($1,500). We continued supporting the homeless through the Soc-It-To-Me project with over 1,500 pairs of socks ($650); supported community-based organizations that help the poor and others in need ($7,800); provided coats and other supplies to a facility providing support to domestic violence victims ($1,212); a donation to the Leukemia Foundation ($300); and donated toys to two organizations as a result of toy drive we conducted ($812); several other small contributions ($1,776). 0 14050 CHARITABLE PROGRAMS - Our program outcomes are focused on producing well-rounded, academically sound students who know what it means to give back to their community. Due to the Corona Virus (COVID-19) aftermath, schools restricted access, as well as with continued virtual learning our Charitable programs continued through a slower restart. Our major recruitment activity, started in 2022, yielded some growth at a local universities in our Undergrad Development ($4,065), provided two small scholarships ($750); we supported a youth basketball tournament that is part of a Stop the Violence initiative ($300) and contributed to a youth bike ride ($500). We have also engaged with a local organization to support a mentoring program focused on youth transitioning from the justice system. 0 5615 30025 BERNARD M GORDON JR PRESIDING OFFICER, EBD 10 0 0 0 JOHN HAYSLETT III PRESIDENT DC GRADUATE CHAPTER 12 0 0 0 LARRY W NEWELL CHAIR EBD TAX-EXEMPT PROGRAM COMMITTEE 10 0 0 0 ENRIQUE A COBHAM FINANCIAL OFFICER, EBD 24 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ENRIQUE A COBHAM C/O GORDON 812-A THIRD ST SW WASHINGTON DC 200243106 2029073383 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 3037 825 45321 2606 2927 54716 3037 825 45321 2606 2927 54716 54716 54716 1 0.2532 X 3037 825 5321 2606 3675 15464 3037 825 5321 2606 3675 15464 15464 4229 4589 7944 21707 24867 63336 7266 5414 13265 24313 28542 78800 0.19624 0.25315 0 0 X During the initial 5 years of filing, the organizations has been focused on providing the services in our mission as noted in our accomplishments. Our presence in the community (public) has also been consistent in all we do. We have always received public support by way of contributions. We have received more that 10% in most years. But, we have been focused on providing the services to the community and our mentoring program. Once we were asked to participate in the concession management program, we also found out that this type of funding made it realistic for us to provide services outwardly. As we are providing more services to the community we will also increase our outreach to other funding sources. Schedule A, Part III, Line 12 As a relatively new non-profit organization we were invited to participate in staffing concession stands at major stadiums. This participation stipulated that we had to be a 501(c)(3). The arrangement was that we staff the stands and we would recieve a commission based on the sales of the stand. We started in 2018 and continues, except for the 2020 stoppage due to the Covid 19 Pandemic. This has become a viable source of income to engage in the support we were created for. We have not had to rely on grants and other public support; but, we continue our public/community support.
