Central Coast Funds For Children
Central Coast Funds for Children was established in May 1993 to benefit children in need of special services in San Luis Obispo County. We are a publicly supported, non-profit, tax-exempt charitable organization. All donations are tax-deductible (Identification No. 77-0338513), and all donations stay in our county to help local children. CCFC has no paid staff - all activities are run by volunteers. Less than 6% of the income raised goes to expenses.
Funds are raised through private and business donations, dues and special fundraising events. All monies are generated by volunteer membership of Central Coast Funds For Children. Applications for these funds are received throughout the year.
From 1994 until 2009 the granted funds totaled $946,670.00. This year - 2010 - CCFC hopes to reach a goal of granting over $1,000,000.00 to benefit children in need in San Luis Obispo County since it's inception. Funds are granted to local non-profit organizations (through a grant application process) to benefit children's programs in San Luis Obispo County
CCFC raises monies through annual support drives, as well as several fundraising events throughout the year, as well as ongoing community projects. There are two prime signature events; CFFC Annual Soup Supper held each September and our newest event, Christmas in November. CCFC members volunteer at several community events held primarily for children: Children's Day in the Plaza and Morro Bay Kite Festival are just two of them. CCFC also participates with local business merchants to earn a percentage of profits for the day; California Pizza Kitchen, Applebee's and New Frontiers market to name a few. Members also volunteer each year at Camp Reach for the Stars (one of our many Grant Recipients); this camp is for children with cancer and their families. CCFC also makes "Sunshine Sacks" for the Family Care Network.
We would like to invite you to join us as we continue our goal to reach to $1,000,000.00 in Grant money donated to help children in San Luis Obispo County.
