What The Foundation for Delta Educational & Economic Development does
Mission
To empower youth, women and families through educational and economic development.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
The organization partnered with the kansas city alumnae chapters of delta sigma theta to support the cotillion youth development and scholarship program which awards several thousand dollars in scholarships to selected high school seniors each year for post-secondary education expenses. The program provided a variety of workshops and activities to help prepare the recipients for college and beyond. Cotillion activities take place over six months and provide workships in the areas of time management, interviewing, financial management and making healthy choices. Activities also included a tour of historically black colleges and universities.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 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 2023 to 2024, from $910k to $1.3M (+48%).
