REACH, Inc. is being formed to:
- increase public awareness of nonprofit activities
- support and conduct nonpartisan research, educational and informational activities to increase public awareness of nonprofit activities
- provide research and information to foundations and corporate giving programs about the needs of organizations that serve or advocate for disadvantaged people
- research the contribution patterns of foundations and corporate giving programssponsor reports, meetings and workshops for nonprofits about how to obtain charitable contributions
- conduct research and education about funding of nonprofit organizations
- sponsor other services to strengthen the stability of the nonprofit sector
- educate the public about the funding needs of organizations that provide services or advocacy for disadvantaged people
In its initial year, REACH, Inc. coordinated a Christmas event which enabled fifty local children the opportunity to select $200.00 of new clothing and shoes at participating stores in the North Park Mall.
In 2005, the REACH, Inc. Christmas event enabled 68 kids to go shopping for Christmas and we spent $14,000 at the North Park Mall on that special evening! Over 200 members of our community came together on that amazing evening to volunteer in assisting to make dreams come true for children in our community. Our county is blessed because of those generous people who unselfishly gave of their time, talents and treasure to make sure that someone else experienced the giving of CHRISTmas.
