Securing Christian Opportunity Center’s Future
Purpose: COC Foundation Fund provides financial support to the COC mission of integrating Christian values in empowering individuals with disabilities to realize their full potential.
Mission: COC Foundation Fund solicits and receives gifts and manages its assets with integrity to provide regular support and long-term financial stability to COC.
Explanation of Operations
Each year, COC Foundation Fund contributes five percent (5%) of the three-year average of year-end assets. This money is distributed annually into four funds:
- Staff Enhancement Fund, to reward and provide incentives to staff members to continue their service to COC
- Special Education Fund, which subsidizes the high costs of the special education programs that moved to the local Christian schools in 1988
- Trip/Event/Camp Fund, which provides special trips or events for the people we support, many of whom would otherwise never have a vacation
- Spiritual Nurture Fund, which provides support for retreats and for the Friendship Bible Hour program
