HERE WE GROW AGAIN! COSMO HAS ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL YEAR!
Community Shares of Mid Ohio grows at a record rate. For the 2006 workplace campaign cycle, COSMO donor pledges increased by a record $75,000 over 2005 pledges.
Community Shares announces its twelfth consecutive year of double-digit increases in pledges made in workplace giving campaigns in which its members participate.
The mission of Community Shares is to increase funding for and enhance the capacity of local community-based nonprofits. Community Shares members address many critical issues, such as homelessness, child abuse, and hunger, while emphasizing prevention, intervention, and education to address the root causes of social problems.
"The generosity of our donors is a reflection of the diversity and appeal of our member agencies,"
said Melissa Magers, Community Shares Executive
Director. "We are extremely grateful for donor support of
community-based charities working on a wide range of social issues. The success of COSMO has resulted in the organization basically doubling in size, in terms of members, campaigns, and pledges, over the last several years."
The growth of Community Shares parallels the increased desire of donors to choose among a wider array of local nonprofits in workplace giving campaigns in central Ohio and to direct their charitable gift to specific nonprofits, as reported in the Columbus Dispatch on March 3, 2005.
