Our vision is for the organization is to break the poverty cycle during our lifetime by ensuring young men and women have the tools and resources to lead a life free of poverty now and for future generations. Empowering, educating and equipping at risk youth will help to overcome and navigate systemic barriers that many marginalized communities face. We aim to provide scholarships for higher education such as college and/or trade schools; provide ACT/SAT preparation and financial services; provide school supplies for at risk youth and to low income communities; and implement workforce development activities, to include resume and interview preparation. This was our third year for the non-profit organization. We have been working to increase awareness to the organization. We also increased our efforts to solicit for mentors and raise money for the organization. We were able to award four small scholarships to benefit youth in our community and consider this a victory. We championed our mission and vision; bringing awareness to the organization as a whole. We presuppose that the low participation in donations, a decrease compared to last year, may have been due to the uncertainty in the economy. Additionally, our economy is facing high inflation costs and some uncertainty in the financial arena. Our efforts have been grass roots thus far and we're strategizing on how to reach some of the larger corporations for donations, gaining approvals rather than denials, to assist in empowering our youth and educating them in order to make them productive members of society. 2000 267 267 Demeria Williams Founder and Treasurer 6 0 0 0 Simeon Williams President 6 0 0 0 Samorria Williams Vice President 8 0 0 0 Ericka Ruffin Secretary 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 MS Demeria Williams P O Box 1803 Brandon MS 39043 6019552472 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 0 0 100 3098 1530 4728 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 100 3098 1530 4728 4728 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4728 1 1 X Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 10 Four scholarships were granted during 2023 in the amount of $2000.
