Ohio Center for Community Progress

 

Providing Ohioans a Way to Collaborate and a Voice to Achieve Progress

Our Mission

The Ohio Center for Community Progress (OCCP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization consisting of Initiative Collaboration Centers that join nonprofits, business, and government together to achieve critical initiatives to create better lives for all Ohioans.

OCCP accomplishes its mission by conducting research, generating funding, and pinpointing volunteers, while creating a free local and statewide multi-media voice through collaboration with leading media outlets.

But we need your help. We want to know which nonprofits or initiatives need support. We want you to support OCCP and the charities or startups important to you by becoming a donor.

HOW OCCP FULFILLS ITS MISSION

OCCP brings organizations, government, and nonprofits together to solve problems and embrace opportunities. We create Initiative Collaboration Centers for initiatives that need strength in numbers to succeed. Our history of success with seminal events and conference will encourage and foster the creation of thinktanks around the topics most important for Ohio's future.

Collaborative Initiative Team Management (Nonprofit, Business, Government)

What we know makes us better. OCCP generates primary and secondary research we need today. We conduct face-to-face, telephonic and electronic studies to discover the best ways for initiatives to flourish. We promote studies and breakthrough findings that had no voice before today.

Community and State Research for Initiatives

Are you looking for board members or volunteers to help achieve success? Our members will be here for you. OCCP has already started to build a membership base wanting to have their voices heard in support of your initiatives.

Volunteer Participation

What kind of financial support does an initiative require to succeed, move to the next level, or survive? OCCP can provide a revenue stream and a corps of grant writers geared to meet and exceed expectations. To start donations underwrite the costs to tell stories that generate awareness, support and acceptance.

Financial Support and Fundraising

OCCP is a multi-media platform featuring high-performance print magazines, digital publications, and focused events. We support the initiatives important to you. Sometimes, custom video, print projects and grassroots tactics will make the difference.
