$393,252 spent$5,522 earned by the program36% of program spendingThe gender equity project was a partnership with the minnesota women's foundation to create a duluth cabinet modeled after their statewide cabinet. This cabinet was a leadership and action cohort of diverse female-identifying, non-binary, and gender expansive program participants ages 16-24. The cohort focused on learning and doing with all aspects decided by the young people themselves. In 2023 - 2024, eight young women participated. Of those, 25% were biracial, 12.5% were native american, and 12.5% were black. The program was paused in june 2024 due to the resignation of the program director and permanently ended by the women's foundation of minnesota who determined they no longer wanted to fund these programs statewide.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 $2.5M to $3.0M (+20%).
