$1,996.00 raised
GOAL: $50,000.00

Thank you for allowing us to participate and be a part of your Citizenship story through OCCORD's Citizenship classes, providing you with the support needed to become a citizen. Now, we invite you to join us in empowering others to achieve their dreams of citizenship.

At OCCORD, we believe that a stronger community starts with empowered citizens. Our services, including the Citizenship classes you attended, are provided free of charge, thanks to the generosity of supporters like you.

By making a donation today, you can help us continue offering free Citizenship classes to aspiring citizens in our community. Your contribution will directly support:

  • Scholarships for individuals who cannot afford the associated costs of the naturalization process.
  • Expanded outreach efforts to reach more community members in need of our services.
  • Resources and materials necessary to provide high-quality Citizenship classes.
  • Ongoing support for alumni to ensure a smooth transition to citizenship.

Join our #EmpowerCitizens campaign and pay it forward for a stronger community. Your donation, no matter the size, will make a significant impact. Together, we can help more individuals gain the tools and knowledge they need to become active, engaged citizens.

Your DONATION between June 17-22 will receive a MATCHING grant from New Americans Campaign!

Words from Our Donors


“I feel more safe driving to work now that I am a citizen. As a Latino in Orange County, I want my community to call OCCORD and see how we can help me reach part of the American Dream."

I donated to encourage my immigrant peers to do the same. Call OCCORD so they can help you!
