Our Annual Giving Fund 2020 provides critical support to overcome the challenges presented by the COVID crisis. We are investing in more programming resources to make sure that our Warriors continue to have a supported presence in our community. We have restructured our programming to provide both safe, cohort-based in-person programming as well as a virtual program format for those Warriors who are not able to join in person yet. We are also relying on this campaign to offset the cancellation of many of our key fundraising events.
Every donation makes a difference this year!
Total Donation Amount | $80,000

“We have to continue to support each other in any way that we can. People should support Opportunity Knocks because you’re supporting people who love to do activities and an organization who accepts people for who they are. And they’re just overall good people to work with. Please support OK so that the staff can pour their love out to us and have the resources they need to support us. Thank you so much. We love you all.”

In March 2020, we were getting ready for a new session of programs and the 11th OK Gala, then everything changed.
With Warrior families cut off from crucial in-person services, our program team adapted and worked hard to engage folks through Zoom programs, our Seesaw virtual classroom, regular household phone calls, and more.
We have assembled two very generous matching gift offers totaling $32,500 to help drive our Annual Giving Fund. The Coleman Foundation and a few generous OK supporters are backing our effort to call out to the Warrior Nation and help meet the match. Read on for more details.
FROM NOW UNTIL #GIVINGTUESDAY ON DECEMBER 1ST
THE COLEMAN FOUNDATION WILL PROVIDE ANY GIFT OF $1,250 OR MORE WITH A $1,250 MATCH, UP TO A TOTAL MATCH CAP OF $12,500. THIS MEANS THAT GIFT OF $1,250 BECOMES $2,500 TO FUND PROGRAMS, VOCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES AND MORE.
FROM NOW UNTIL #GIVINGTUESDAY ON DECEMBER 1ST
All gifts between $150 and $499 will be matched at $150 and all gifts between $500 and $1250 will be matched at $500. This means that a $150 gift becomes $300 and a $500 donation provides $1,000 to continue our life skills programming for Warriors.
Did you know that many employers match their employees’ donations? A matching contribution could double or even triple the impact of your gift.
Past donations made during the year may also still be eligible.
Don’t wait-use the search box NOW to see if your employer has a matching program.
