MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

MESSAGE FROM THE


EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

SCHOLARSHIP IMPACT









Our educational scholarship fund supports Washington, D.C. high school

graduates to continue their education at a Historically Black College or

University (HBCU). Scholarships are awarded to students who

demonstrate academic excellence or potential, leadership skills, and

community service.  A minimum of four scholarships are awarded


annually to students who have been accepted and plan to attend an HBCU.




In addition to awarding scholarships to high school seniors, our

scholarship funds also provide recipients with funding for an additional 3

years at $1,000 per year provided the recipients meet the qualifications.


Most recipients requesting the continuing funds maintain a 3.5 or higher

grade point average.

SCHOLARSHIP &



EDUCATIONAL IMPACT










Our biannual Cotillion provides young ladies the opportunity to not only be

introduced to society but to also raise funds for scholarships.




We also sponsor college tours for both high school and middle school

students.  Many on the high school tour receive immediate acceptance,

often with financial provisions direct from the college or university.




Colleges and universities from our most recent tours include:

FUNDRAISING EVENTS









The 2016 June Paint & Pearls Fundraising Party was our first fundraiser of

the year where guests personalized a “Two Dancers” portrait into their own

creative masterpiece. This sold-out event raised money for Rho Mu

Omega's scholarships and community service programs. The event also

brought attention to the benefits of art therapy in improving mental


health.  




Our second fundraiser will take place in December with the highly

anticipated return of our signature Jazz Brunch Auction. With 500 tickets

sold, this event is our largest fundraiser for the year.  

FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES









Additional fundraising activities included crowdfunding.   

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS









D.C. Pearls III’s financial stability results from strong financial

management that positions us to not only fund Rho Mu Omega’s


community service programs appropriately but to also consider increasing

our scholarship funds.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS














































































D.C. Pearls III continues to maintain a strong financial position.
