Overview

Mission

Public outreach and economic development. Assist employers in region with recruiting and retaining diverse talent.

What it reported doing in 2012

Diversity Recruiting assistance for regional employers. WPDI hosts a job board where employers can post open positons for free and have the opportunity to include their company's diversity statement. WPDI also holds networking events and participates in job fairs throughout the year with specific goals of connecting regional employers with diverse candidates.

Operating model

Revenue model
Membership-supported. 82% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
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. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
