Overview
Mission
Addressing educational, civic, and cultural community needs.
What it reported doing in 2025
The Chocolate Hour. Since 2008 our annual Black History Month celebration, which highlights African American culture through community performances showcases local artists, educational presentations, and hosts discussions on health, financial empowerment, civic engagement, and voter education. This free community event brings together Dover residents of all ages in a spirit of celebration and learning. Afterwards, all are always welcomed to a reception of chocolate and other treats.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
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.
