Overview
Mission
The Women of Color in Community Development (WCCD)was created to support the personal, educational, and professional development of women of color engaged in the fields related to community and economic development.
What it reported doing in 2024
Workshops focused on professional advancement and wealth building. Highlights included sessions on landing promotions, investing in commericial real estate, and elevating ones brand through Linkedin, along with a powerful spotlight on Black women developers in Baltimore, Md. WCCD also partnered with the DC Housing Finance Agency to host Black Women in Affordable Housing, Finance, and Law, drawing strong attendance and engagement across sectors. Signature events such as the Sustaining Member Brunch, held at Wellspring Manor & Spa, and the annual Women of Color in Real Estate Development panel in partnership with AAREP, exemplified the organizations mission to empower and elevate women of color in the field. These programs fostered community, reflection, and dialogue on critical topics such as self-advocacy, work-life balance, and leadership. Each event reinforced WCCDs role as a vital platform for visibility, support, and industry influence.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 86% 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
STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work.
