Programs
The organization initiated and promoted seven presentations during the 2025 calendar year in addition to nine social functions for the purpose of meeting prospective members, engendering relationships between current members and networking. The first presentation was an introduction to the ach child and family services living legacy program which was then followed one month later by a program entitled the art of giving which was a candid conversation about the role of philanthropy in fort worth, tx.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2024, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2024, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $127k to $198k (+55%).
