This program empowers St. Louis residents to build a more equitable economy through three key initiatives. The New STL Economy Playbook: After approximately a year and a half of research, 3,000 hours of community design, and over 1,000 stakeholder engagements, WEPOWER and its partners release The New STL Economy PLAYBOOK: Planting + Growing Our Collective Wealth, with a focus on transforming St. Louis' local economy in response to the racial-wealth crisis. The Playbook offers a community-designed and research-informed vision and roadmap for transforming the local economy to support the wealth and well-being of all families who call St. Louis home. WEPOWER specifically trained a cohort of community leaders through its Tomorrow Builders Fellowship, who helped lead the creation of the Playbook. 1155045 147994 0 EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION (ECE) INITIATIVES Our ECE work aims to achieve universal access to quality, free, and joyful early learning experiences for children ages 0-5. A major goal is to secure approximately $100 million in sustainable public funding to address the regional ECE crisis. We launched power-building hubs to activate families and educators, encouraging them to use the Early Childhood Playbook and become civically engaged. These efforts have included educating and mobilizing voters to build a strong community coalition, working to win the necessary public investments, and creating a thriving ECE system. We also launched a regional research and planning effort that included gathering up-to-date data on the number of children aged five and under, the number of seats that exist, the gaps, the true cost of care, and an implementation plan to close the access gap. Additionally, we engaged in education and advocacy to achieve changes that improve access to quality child care education. 0 0 0 2497638 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 115 0 1 22 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 6 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 X X X The Charity CFO LLC 3143900220 1310 Papin Street Suite 300 Saint Louis MO 63103 Charli Cooksey Chief Executive Officer 40 2 X 128864 0 0 Christopher Dennis Chief of Staff 1.0 0 X 114510 0 0 Marissa Cohen Secretary 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Erica Henderson Treasurer 1.0 0 X X 0 0 0 Rebeccah Bennett Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Mary McKay Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Laura Horwitz Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Jerina Phillips Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 243374 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 22238 0 149437 3179131 0 3350806 0 0 0 0 0 5301 0 0 5301 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 22238 44697 -44697 0 -44697 Miscellaneous Income 900099 1667 1667 0 0 0 0 0 0 1667 3313077 1667 0 -39396 X 174000 174000 215750 215750 128864 115978 12886 721055 562570 71400 87085 102901 75266 19228 8407 67740 51446 8643 7651 108418 104455 3963 74659 74659 964745 936665 23831 4249 3342 3342 56390 9580 45486 1324 73069 31400 38482 3187 74854 56830 11906 6118 35118 11160 20510 3448 0 24166 9547 14390 229 360 287 36 37 3651 2914 363 374 Program Supplies & Events 90712 62854 8438 19420 Session Meals 63992 62888 1104 0 Recruitment & Hiring 47771 2956 44436 379 9416 7750 1666 3040973 2497638 401427 141908 896473 463142 1000 861 47500 754405 7405 0 23472 2820 3597 360 0 3237 975850 1224465 143131 128827 10685 1500 153816 130327 X 748701 246539 73333 847599 822034 1094138 975850 1224465 272104 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 1451461 1769240 2591834 2289567 3350807 11452909 1451461 1769240 2591834 2289567 3350807 11452909 3117109 8335800 16 6 6 38 5300 5366 1667 1667 11459942 9019 0.72739 0.91204 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Miscellaneous income of $1,667.
