What United Order of Tents of Brooklyn of the Eastern District No 3 (Jrg a and Ju) Inc does
Programs
The united order of tents is a black women's fraternal order located in brooklyn, ny. Established in the 19th century, the united order of tents originally provided aid to those escaping slavery via the underground railroad. Our current mission is to serve our community, especially our elderly neighbors. For more than 75 years, the women of the eastern district tents have been quietly fulfilling their mission to feed the hungry, tend to the sick, bury the dead, help raise children and care for the elderly here in brooklyn.although the home is not renovated yet, in 2024 we were able to host community activities such as clothing drives for st. Mary's church, donation of school supplies to abraham lincoln elementary school, voter's registration drive, co-sponsor a toy drive for children with the child development service corp, and play weekly bingo with seniors at a local senior citizen center.
$450 spentOur eastern district headquarters is the once-opulent mansion at 87 macdonough street, which has hosted meetings, weddings, and luncheons and has been a center for mutual aid since the tents bought it in 1945. This historic home was built in 1863, is listed on the new york state and national register of historic places, and sits in stuyvesant heights, a historic district. It is a beacon of history for the tents and the community. Once the home is renovated, we hope to establish a permanent exhibit that chronicles, promotes, and preserves the history of the united order of tents and their contributions to bedford stuyvesant and central brooklyn. The organization is currently providing educational tours of this historical site.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2022 to 2023, from $48k to $358k (+649%).
