Overview
Mission
At community engagement & opportunity council (ceoc), our mission is to revitalize communities in america by way of sports, mentorship, and economic opportunity. Our efforts to strengthen communities include providing essential resources for those who need immediate relief as well as providing access to sustainable opportunities that will impact generations to come.
What it reported doing in 2024
Ceoc partnered with southern methodist university (smu) to pilot a 4-week session in the summer of 2024, which included current and former student athletes participating in our first down u(niversity). Our reasons for expanding into the collegiate arena: - only 27% of ncaa athletes agree that they had a mentor in college who encouraged them to pursue their goals and dreams (ncaa and gallup, 2020) - career termination is the most traumatic experience of an athlete, which often generates identity crises & coping difficulties (hatamleh, m. (2013). The life transition of high-performance athletes retirement from sport. European scientific journal, 9) - 95% of fortune 500 ceos played sports in college (coachup.com) the summer pilot was successful and ceoc led interactive training sessions for collegiate athletes and graduate assistants as part of a graduate course during the fall semester.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 86% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
