This center also serves as a co-working site for the countys economic development center. The Circuit Cafe employs adults with IDD, a cafe manager, and many volunteers, fostering intergenerational relationships. CoF began work on a second location, Flourish Cafe, which will be a place for our community members to gather and grow. Flourish Cafe will offer supportive employment opportunities for adults with IDD alongside typical peers and volunteers to provide an integrated employment setting. The space will be used after hours for social events, wellness classes, and CoF meetings. 13975 CoF held monthly large group and weekly small group activities for social engagement for adults with IDD, typical peers, and older adults to interact. Large group activities involved 50+ individuals, and small group activities included 5-20 individuals. Additionally, CoF offered Cooking Classes where our neurodiverse friends learned cooking skills from local chefs and COF hosted a community garden and a Garden Club where local members of the Farm Bureau taught gardening skills. Both activities provided participants with opportunities for volunteers, and corporate sponsors to mentor our neurodiverse friends. These social activities provide an opportunity for adults with IDD and others to be included in the life of the community, and to feel a sense of belonging. People who attend have an opportunity to make lasting friendships and families support one another. The third strand of the CoF mission is to develop supportive attainable housing for adults with IDD, typical peers, and older adults to live in their own community. CoF leaders have developed relationships with county and state officials and community leaders to bring awareness of the difficulties adults with IDD have in attaining affordable housing. CoF leaders continue research in this area that will contribute to the community design 204995 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 0 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 3 3 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false true true false X Glenn Keen 6784859794 900 Abbey Ct Alpharetta GA 30004 X Nick Carberry VP Director of Operations 40.00 0.00 X 80000 0 0 Katie Bowker Supportive Employment Manager 40.00 0.00 X 43899 0 0 David LeBaron Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Robert Sinclair Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Diane Keen Chairperson and Executive Dir 25.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Glenn Keen COO 10.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Phyllis Deeb Director of Administration 15.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 123899 0 0 0 true false false 24303 16335 146220 186858 Coffee Shop 722210 34972 34972 34972 7801 7801 24303 229631 34972 0 7801 158155 123334 34821 5145 5145 3273 3273 4555 2816 1739 5646 5646 13915 13915 1286 1286 4982 1853 3129 Supplies 19685 19685 Bank Merchant Fees 356 356 Telephone Internet 2313 2313 Storage 1734 1734 23639 23639 244684 204995 39689 0 584901 557523 6795 7928 25071 25071 25071 11192 616767 601714 168 168 168 168 X 616599 601546 616599 601546 616767 601714 -15053 0 X false false false X 23690 122535 671239 186859 1004323 52486 38872 34972 126330 23690 175021 710111 221831 1130653 1130653 7801 7801 7801 7801 0 23690 175021 710111 229632 1138454 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 25071 25071 25071 Gift Cards 168 168 Cornhole Gala false false false false false false Nick Carberry VP Director of Operations 80000 80000 Form 990 governing body review Part VI line 11 990 distributed to board for review and comment prior to filing Conflict of interest policy compliance Part VI line 12c All Board members and Key employees are required to affirm compliance with published conflict of interest policy CEO executive director top management comp Part VI line 15a Officer and Key employee compensation is in part determined by comparing compensation for similar positons in similar organizations in size and pourpose and using information available from the department of labor Other officer or key employee compensation Part VI line 15b Officer and Key employee compensation is in part determined by comparing compensation for similar positons in similar organizations in size and pourpose and using information available from the department of labor Governing documents etc available to public Part VI line 19 Governing documents are made availabel upon request and on the Secretary of State Website.
