Overview

Mission

Fight to eradicate the pernicious race and gender bias workplace and bridge the gap between the police department and the community through social service programs.

What it reported doing in 2015

The organization serves over 750 active members. The members receive support with education and legal counsel. In addition, the organization supports community members through higher education scholarships, gifts to children in need during holidays, hosting social community events, and donations to other non-profit organizations serving the Dallas, Texas community

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 97% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 97% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
