Community Shares of Mid Ohio through
workplace charitable campaigns!
For over 15
years, Community Shares of Mid Ohio has
participated in workplace giving campaigns
that provide vital and stable financial
support for our non-profit, social advocacy
member organizations.
Our fifty-one
members are community-based, volunteer-led
charities and agencies that address a wide
range of social and environmental services
and issues, and focus on long-term,
prevention-oriented solutions that emphasize
social change and justice.
GOALS
-
To
collaboratively raise funds for the
benefit of member 501 (c) (3) non-profit
organizations actively engaged in
programs directed toward community
improvement, social change, and citizen
education and empowerment.
-
To establish
a strong financial base to ensure the
continued existence and effectiveness of
member agencies.
-
To enhance
the capacity of member agencies to
accomplish their missions through
funding, leadership development,
training, and education.
WHY WE'RE
UNIQUE
Our locally based, locally controlled
coalition is governed by a voluntary Board
of Trustees, including representatives from
each member agency, that participate in
decision and policy making as well as
provide additional input and leadership.
Furthermore, donors may designate
specific COSMO agencies to receive their
contributions or may make an undesignated
gift to COSMO. Undesignated pledges are
divided among COSMO agencies and added to
their designated pledges.
COSMO members
focus on education and service to the
community, raising awareness of the root
causes of social and economic problems and
generating preventative solutions.
