Watermark Community Development Corporation
Seeking to transform the economic welfare of our community
The mission of Watermark CDC is to further the name of Jesus by deploying His people and resources to meet the most strategic and transformational economic needs in our community.
We intend to leave a watermark on Dallas.
The main focus of the Watermark CDC is to empower historically under-resourced individuals and communities, with the hope that the welfare and livelihood of all who live in our city would be transformed through the outworking of the gospel.
Key Initiatives
Financial Empowerment
Financial literacy and stewardship continue to be a big need as pay day loans, unbanked individuals, and soaring debt permeates our community. Our initiatives will provide financial education and accelerated savings through the Financial Catalyst program, retail banking, and general financial services.
Business & Economic Development
With individuals learning financial literacy and accelerated savings along with job placement, we desire to incubate and launch small businesses for the purpose of job creation, employment opportunity, and intentional discipleship. These businesses will directly impact the economic growth of the nearby community for the purpose of transforming overall economic welfare.
Vocational Training & Employment
Job placement, along with soft and hard skill training programs, is a key focus within the Watermark CDC. Programs under this initiative will help individuals hone in on a trade or specific skill set, as well as help them connect with job opportunities unique to their experience.
Give to the Watermark CDC
We hope to be a part of transforming the economic welfare in our community. Our prayer is that God would go before us to stir hearts to invest (time, talents, and treasures) and that more than enough would be provided (Exodus 36:5). We ask you to pray about giving generously as the Lord allows. Process the decision with the biblical community the Lord has given you. The future vision is big, and the need is large as we match accelerated savings towards asset purchases, provide job connections to the un or under-employed, and accomplish our key initiatives.
