GIFTS. ALL SIZES AND SHAPES.
Where Does My Money Go?
All donations go directly to supporting CCIH programs and administrative costs.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Yes, CCIH is a legally registered 501.c.3. agency.
How much of your income goes to programs?
Currently, approximately 75% of funds go directly to support program costs.
Where does the rest of the money go?
The rest of the funding supports the day-to-day operations of the agency including oversight, fundraising, accounting, record-keeping and reporting, coordination with other agencies, rent, insurance, communications, and office equipment and supplies. CCIH's strategic plan is to expand and develop a second project in the near future. When this is accomplished, a greater percentage of funds will go to direct services.
Do you pay your Board of Directors?
No. All Board members serve as volunteers.
I don't have money to give. What else can I do to help?
Learn more about homelessness, and keep your friends informed, too! Volunteer and help us to end homelessness in Contra Costa County.
