The OCCF is a non-profit <br />organization established to administer donations and grants to meet the <br />needs of the Orange County community. The Grants for Parks fund was <br />established with OCCF to expand and improve parks and recreation programs <br />and projects with the assistance of donations from private individuals <br />and organizations. <br /> <br />Recently OCCF notified the City that it would no longer manage the Grants <br />for Parks fund due to the increased volume of activity requiring <br />administrative support. OCCF recommended that the City's fund be <br />transferred to Charitable Ventures of Orange County (CVOC), a non-profit <br />agency established in 2007. In staff's communication with CVOC, the <br />staff there has indicated that the large volume of work generated by the <br />City's fundraising events would pose no problem. <br /> <br />The City desires to contract with CVOC to establish a non-endowed Agency <br />Fund. CVOC's purpose is to provide resources and support services to <br />charitable ventures and projects in Orange County. The company has <br />appropriate staff available to meet the fundraising needs of the City and <br />provide the level of service required for the Parks, Recreation and <br />Community Services Agency's large volume of projects. The funds received <br />by CVOC would then be distributed to the City to benefit parks and <br />recreation programs and projects in Santa Ana. <br /> <br />25L-1 <br />
