Descriptor of Process

SCOPE is an active 501(c)3 non-profit entity. As such, the SCOPE board of directors works diligently to promote ethical utilization of funds in our community. To accomplish this, the SCOPE board works to identify priority areas and gives the SCOPE staff and coordinator direction and guidance when identifying potential funding streams. Once applied for, the board votes on acceptance of funds and ensures proposed budgets and project goals meet the mission and vision of the organization.
