Overview
Mission
Our mission is to function as a resource center for immigrants and refugees. We are committed to advocating, educating, and facilitating connections to help immigrant and refugee families achieve and maintain self sufficiency and successfully integrate and participate in their new communities. We also aim to raise public awareness about immigrants and refugees to increase their visibility and change public attitudes for the better.
What it reported doing in 2025
Urban Agriculture and Community Food Access Program. COCD operated an urban agroecology and community food access initiative that engaged immigrants, refugees, and other underserved Dayton residents in food production, gardening education, and community service. Program activities included garden preparation, planting, cultivation, participant education, site maintenance, and the distribution of locally grown produce to community residents and partner organizations. Through this work, COCD produced more than 870 pounds of fresh produce, including approximately 276 pounds distributed to St. Mary, 104 pounds to Good Neighbor House, and 160 pounds to East Dayton Fellowship. The initiative directly served 10 farmers and 20 English-language learners, benefiting an estimated 150 household members. Through its community partners, the program also contributed to a combined service network that reached approximately 2,964 people.
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 100% 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.
The verdict
STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
