Fundraising

Each year, Cenikor undergoes an independent audit. Cenikor is proud of the fact that 76 percent of its budget goes to program expenses. Only 3 percent is spent on fundraising. Management and general operating expenses make up the other 21 percent. Cenikor is one of the few nonprofit organizations that is financially sound while keeping fund-raising expenses low.

"We have toured the Cenikor facility, visited with many of the program participants and discussed the Cenikor mission with facility representatives. Our company is confident that the dollars it has contributed to Cenikor are well managed, and that Cenikor is effectively using that money to serve the community by returning fellow citizens to productive and useful lives."

Donate Money, Goods or Services

Consider that incarcerating a substance abuser for one year in the Texas prison system costs $50,000 according to the U.S. Customs Service, Department of Treasury. Who pays? The nation's taxpayers. At Cenikor, the cost per year for housing one substance abuser is about $25,000, at no cost to taxpayers.

The entire community benefits both economically and in terms of quality of life when Cenikor helps an individual control his/her drug and alcohol dependence.

We are very fortunate to live in such generous communities. Individuals, foundations and companies have blessed us with gifts of money, goods and services because they believe in what we do.

Examples of goods and services we are grateful to accept:

• Appliances
• Computer hardware and software
• Marketing and public relations services
