FUND OVERVIEW

Last year at this time, we faced a very challenging outlook. The COVID-19 crisis created a cascade of hurdles that forced us to re-think, re-tool and re-imagine all facets of our organization, from our physical environment to our programming and enterprise operations. Thanks to the creativity and ingenuity of our staff and the tremendous support of our community, we weathered every obstacle and preserved our resources, our program space and, most importantly, our connections with our Warriors and families.

Today, we are excited about what comes next for OK. We are excited to look farther forward as we continue to support life and community for our Warriors. The first step in this process will be to revamp our strategic plan. The current plan has served us well but we will assimilate what we have learned over the past decade and build out the next-up plans. We will develop a progression for our OK Programs platform, leaning into some of the program templates and formats developed over the past year. We are going to revisit our enterprise plan and build in a business plan for the Knockout Smokehouse Deli to go along with continued growth of the Knockout Pickles and Knockout Farm activities. Finally, we will take important steps in the year ahead to provide residential services to Warriors interested in living in the community.

All these steps will take big collective efforts. We will need more human resources, more space, more technology, more partnerships and more investment from our community.
