Center for Children and Families

What Center for Children and Families does

Center for Children and Families, Inc. (CCFI) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1969 in Norman, Oklahoma, providing integrated child, youth, and family services across Cleveland County and adjacent Pottawatomie County. Its program portfolio spans trauma-informed clinical counseling (using evidence-based modalities such as ARC, CPP, TBRI, Theraplay, and Circle of Security), parent education groups (Nurturing Parenting, Children in the Middle, Parents Assistance), early-childhood support (Baby Pantry, Bringing Up Babies home visitation), divorce and co-parenting services, and the Cleveland County Boys & Girls Club of Norman (including a new Teen Center at Reaves Park launched in 2026).

CCFI operates from a 28,000 sq ft purpose-built facility at 210 S. Cockrel Avenue (acquired in 2014 via a $3.9M Champions for Children Capital Campaign), supplemented by program sites at Irving Middle School and the Teen Center at Reaves Park. Its distribution model is direct service delivery with referrals sourced from Norman Public Schools (transportation from seven campuses), the Oklahoma Department of Human Services, Cleveland County courts, and self-referral. Services are offered in-person and via Zoom, and home-visit programming extends into Pottawatomie County. The organization employs between 11 and 50 staff across clinical, program, community engagement, and administrative functions.

Revenue is generated through a diversified nonprofit stack: individual and corporate donations (one-time, monthly, and multi-year Champion pledges of $1K-$10K/year for 3 years), special-event fundraisers (Hands & Hearts luncheon, Night at the Club), grant funding from United Way of Norman, Oklahoma DHS, Oklahoma District Attorney's Council/VOCA, Oklahoma State Department of Health, Oklahoma Alliance of Boys & Girls Clubs, and the Herbalife Nutrition Foundation, in-kind donations (notably from Baby2Baby since fall 2021), a Hope for Children Endowment at the Oklahoma City Community Foundation, planned-giving vehicles, and nominal program fees ($50 for Divorce and Co-Parenting classes, $20 per school year for Teen Center membership). CCFI holds a Four-Star Charity Navigator rating, Candid/GuideStar Platinum transparency status, and BGCA, United Way of Norman, and Parents as Teachers affiliations.

Revenue model

1. Donations and Charitable Contributions: CCFI relies heavily on individual donations, corporate sponsorships, and fundraising events. Donors can give one-time gifts, monthly recurring donations, or multi-year pledges. The annual Hands & Hearts luncheon and Night at the Club events are primary fundraising vehicles. The Great Futures Campaign raises funds specifically for the Teen Center at Reaves Park.
2. Planned Giving and Endowment: Through partnership with Oklahoma City Community Foundation, CCFI offers planned giving vehicles including bequests, charitable remainder trusts, retirement asset transfers, gifts of real estate, and charitable gift annuities. The Hope for Children Endowment provides perpetual giving options.
3. Program Fees: Some programs charge modest fees: Divorce and Co-Parenting class at $50 per person. Teen Center membership is $20 per school year. These fees are minimal and designed for accessibility rather than revenue generation.
4. Government Grants and Contracts: Funding from Oklahoma Department of Human Services, Victims of Crime Act (VOCA), Oklahoma District Attorney's Council, Oklahoma State Department of Health, and other state/federal programs. AmeriCorps provides staffing support for Boys & Girls Club.
5. In-Kind Donations: Community donations of diapers, baby supplies, wish list items, and other in-kind goods support the Baby Pantry and program operations, reducing operational costs significantly.
