Cooper Foundation is pleased to offer Candid Community resources to the Waco community in this pilot phase (October 2024-September 2025). If this resource is used successfully during the pilot year, it is our hope that we will be able to continue to offer this to the community.

The more people who access the resources and the more funds Waco nonprofits and individuals receive as a result of using this resource, the more likely it will be that we can continue offering this resource in the coming years. Therefore, we need your help! Please provide your information below so that we know who is using this resource.
