Programs
Ceoc's first taste of improving childhood literacy came from a partnership with bridgebuilders, where the organization renovated the existing literacy lab to create a safe and inspiring space for kids to read after school. Upon seeing the marked improvement in literacy, ceoc decided to build a scalable, faith-based learning program aimed at serving our nation's most vulnerable youth. In february 2023, we opened doors to our 1st learning lab at new life community church (little elm) for kindergarten - 5th grade students. This program is designed to develop, enhance, and sustain the five foundational reading skills: phonemic awareness ~ phonics ~ fluency ~ vocabulary ~ reading comprehension.
$111,460 spentof which $111,460 as grants21% of program spendingCeoc partnered with one of dfw's most influential churches to impact the underserved communities surrounding prestonwood baptist church's plano campus in september 2023, opening the doors to our 2nd learning lab. This allowed us to provide a supplemental reading program that not only improves literacy but boosts the confidence of the children yet again. This is critical for us because: - 70% of low-income 4th grade students cannot read at grade level (the national literacy institute) - 130 million adults in the us are illiterate (the national literacy institute) - school dropouts cost 240 billion each year in social service expenditures and lost tax revenue (the national literacy institute) with the opening of both labs, we were able to make a generation impact by providing more than 180 supplemental hours of reading to over 30 children in 2023. Future initiatives our goal is to open 2-3 labs over the next 12 to 18 months. This will allow us to serve 60 students per session throughout our program in various strategic areas in dfw.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $250k to $510k (+104%).
How it's funded, over time

How concentrated its funding is
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT & OPPORTUNITY COUNCIL leans on a few funders — its largest provides 46% of grant income and the top three 81%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
73% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT & OPPORTUNITY COUNCIL.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 56% · 2023 51% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
70% of COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT & OPPORTUNITY COUNCIL's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $160k that is directly attributable, 97% of it comes from Texas funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $376k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
