Financial Stability The OCCTAC Board Members are volunteers and operate as a working board. They provide support, recommendations and over -site to the founder and executive director. The Executive Director; Chief Operating Officer; administrative staff and coordinators manage the day-to-day operations of the organization. The board members are involved with deciding major policy and program changes and fund-raising activities via the board committees. The committees include: 1) Executive Committee; 2) Finance Committee; 3) Fund -Development Committee; and 4) Board Development. With the committee structure in place, OCCTAC is actively engaged in a high level of fund-raising activity. The Fund -Development Committee now has an annual campaign to sustain and support OCCTAC's operations. The Center continues to receive regular monthly tuition from the After-school ARTS Programs to assist with general operations. We continue to maintain current contracts as well as secure new contracts with the following agencies: 1) Santa Ana Unified School District to provide Tutoring services, Music Therapy and Early intervention; 2) Regional Center to provide Socialization Training to Children and Youth with Disabilities; 3) County of Orange, Social Services to provide Tutoring and After -School Programs to youth with Emotional Disabilities and Behavioral Problems; and Providence Community Services to work with youth at -risk and employment experience. In addition, OCCTAC was also awarded a CDB Grant from the City of Santa Ana to provide Arts & Literacy Instruction to Youth with Special Needs. Because OCCTAC has been successful in demonstrating the ability to make significant progress with students, we have gained the support and recognition of many local schools and organizations. This support is reflected in the following ways: 1) increased student enrollment; 2) public contributions; 3) increased volunteer support, and 4) recognition by city and public officials. Furthermore, OCCTAC has received support from a variety of local community groups, business and community foundations that award grants and contributions, such as the Santa Ana Kiwanis group, Wells Fargo, Orange County Community Foundation, Disney Foundation, Fieldstead Foundation and others; combined with grants, the tuition revenues and existing contracts.
