The College Area Community Council (CACC) created a 501c3 nonprofit umbrella organization in order to make any donations potentially tax-deductible and to have the opportunity to apply for grants for specific projects to improve our community. The new entity is the College Area Community Coalition, so it has the same acronym as the Council. The Council will essentially function as a project of the Coalition, with the Coalition providing the funds and legal umbrella for Council projects. 

The annual membership drive was delayed a bit until all details of the new organization were finalized so that any annual donations could be tax-deductible.  Existing members will receive their annual membership update letters in the next week or so by regular mail. Any existing member or someone wishing to join can do so online at areauniversitaria.org. There is a link online for PayPal if you chose to contribute that way. PayPal will send you a receipt good for tax purposes. Donations made online are set up under the new structure.  

As you have been reading over the past few months, the most ambitious and expensive project in our history, the community plan update project is moving forward very positively. It would not have been possible without your financial support. This and other projects in the pipeline are critical to you, your family and community. Please be part of the positive momentum. Support your community!
