Capital Campaign
Due to the Christmas Connection’s expanded program offerings, a growing client base seeking access to its services and an offer by an educational institution to purchase its facility, the organization’s board of directors has initiated a comprehensive capital and endowment campaign focused on buying or building a new 30,000 square foot facility.
The Christmas Connection has been at its current location, a four-story former department store building that was donated to the organization, since 1989. Located at 325 S.W. 25th Street, the building’s multi-story layout is problematic, and this factor, when coupled with the facility’s electrical, plumbing and HVAC deficiencies make the opportunity to secure a more suitable, cost-effective headquarters a tremendous opportunity.
The campaign’s fundraising goal is $2 million. The largest portion of the goal, $1.5 million, is designated for the facility. The organization also seeks an additional $500,000 to establish an endowment fund.
The Christmas Connection values your financial participation. Please know that your important financial investment in the Christmas Connection can be made payable over a three-year period, and that there are numerous naming opportunities for your consideration.

Combined Federal Campaign
Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) of Central Oklahoma #43211. If you are a federal employee, please consider designating the Christmas Connection in your CFC annual contributions. President Kennedy initiated a formal national giving program for Federal workers in 1961. Since then, the CFC has evolved into the nation’s leading workplace giving program. No other annual employee-giving program raises as much money for charity.
