Opportunity Foundation of Central Oregon

What Opportunity Foundation of Central Oregon does

Opportunity Foundation of Central Oregon (OFCO) is a 501c(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1964-1965 in Redmond, Oregon by Walter Franks, who assembled ten directors and anonymously donated $100,000 to build facilities on twenty-six acres in east Redmond. The organization serves Central Oregonians with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), currently supporting more than 100 individuals through a portfolio of residential, vocational, and community-based programs. Core services include a Residential Support Program operating nine professionally staffed group homes in Redmond accommodating 38 adults (with staff available up to 24 hours per day), a Supported Employment Program that places workers with disabilities at local businesses using certified job coaches, and Supported Living services for semi-independent adults. The organization expanded into adult employment services in 1967 and now employs approximately 120 staff across its programs.

OFCO generates revenue through a diversified mix of individual and corporate donations, government contracts and grants (including funding aligned with state programs such as Community First Choice), and three social-enterprise operations: two Possibilities Thrift Stores in Redmond and Madras, and the Cuportunity Coffee kiosk in Redmond, which operates a 12-week internship program. Fundraising is supported by tiered corporate sponsorships ranging from $200 (Community Sponsor) to $5,000+ (Advocate Sponsor), peer-to-peer fundraising campaigns, and volunteer engagement through a Giveeffect-powered platform. The go-to-market model is community-led, relying on referral networks with vocational rehabilitation counselors and case managers, local employer partnerships, and direct community outreach via Facebook, Instagram, and a Mailchimp newsletter. The organization's technology footprint is limited to standard nonprofit management software (Giveffect) for donor, volunteer, and fundraising management; no proprietary technology platform or AI capabilities are disclosed.
