Overview
Mission
The I&C Empowerment Zone Inc is greatly involved in our community by dressing the youth for success thru our Prom Dress Fairy Project which provides prom dresses and accessories FREE to underserved young ladies; nourishing bodies thru Cheryl's Kitchen Table where we feed the community every Halloween (and volunteer packing and giving food boxes with other entities) and reacquainting our people with their culture through performance arts thru We Does Fete Masquerade Band where we keep the tradition of the Caribbean Cultural Clown alive by performing in parades, Mardi Gras and command performances along the east coast at schools and civic events. We also have 2 new programs We Love Books in which we have 7 little free libraries around Dekalb county at recreation centers, schools, parks and community health center that we fill with books weekly; and Our Jigsaw Puzzles which we collect and donate to schools and senior homes
What it reported doing in 2025
This year, our Prom Dress Fairy Project, gave over 507 young ladies from 16 high schools in the Metro Atlanta area dresses, accessories and additional clothing 9industry samples) for Prom. Ladies also came from as far away as Alabama to participate. The Prom Dress Fairy Project held the FREE prom dress giveaway on March 7, in which ALL young ladies that attend receive a dress, make up, feminine hygiene products and lots of positive energy and a fun filled shopping spree for prom for FREE99. The highlight of the day this year was when a young lady who wore a size 28 got a dress and strutted down the runway.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% 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
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
