Overview

Mission

To create and maintain public memorials which would recognize and honor those members of law enforcement who gave their lives in the line of duty to provide financial assistance to the families of law enforcement who are killed or severely injured in the line of duty to provide scholarships to the children of law enforcement who are entering college or other vocational programs to provide financial assistance to civil and charitable organizations.

What it reported doing in 2024

In 2017, the City of Orange Police Association COPA Officer Down and Scholarship Fund was used to support families of injured officers and families of officers who were tragically killed in the line of duty. We were able to give financial support to one of our officers after He was struck by a DUI driver and received career ending injuries. We were also able to send financial support to the families of two officers when the officers were killed in the line of duty. We were happy to award college scholarship funds to the daughter of a COPA member. We feel the officer down and scholarship fund is critical to helping the families of officers who have fallen and to encourage and support those who want to further their education.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work.
