WE APPRECIATE YOUR GENEROSITY
CCOP relies heavily on the generosity and contributions of many donors and corporate sponsors in order to achieve our overall goals and meet our mission objectives. Donations can be in the form of financial contributions, services in-kind or mutually beneficial collaborations.
.
The following are significant donors to our Patrol and we encourage you to support these organizations in their work:
.
CPS is a nonprofit volunteer safety organization that develops and deploys training, support, guidance, and information in a range of safety and educational topics. CPS is a close brother/sister organization to Castro Community On Patrol (CCOP) and we work collaboratively in providing many training and education opportunities to our volunteer Patrollers and to the general public.
.
SISTERS OF PERPETUAL INDULGENCE, INC.
The Sisters are a nonprofit leading-edge order of queer and trans nuns who use humor and irreverent wit to expose the forces of bigotry, complacency, and guilt that chain the human spirit. CCOP works with SPI on many, many projects and we enjoy a very close collaborative relationship with the incredible order.
