As the year draws to a close, we look back on the past year with gratitude and pride. This year, OCA celebrates 50 years of advocacy, community, and resilience. It is remarkable what OCA has accomplished in the last 50 years, but there is much more to be done!

As you know, OCA is dedicated to “Empowering the Next 50” by offering opportunities for leadership development and community engagement. The OCA Internship Program and the regional JACL/OCA Leadership Summits are vital for this vision — they are not just programs but platforms for diverse voices that empower our grassroots movements!

To continue our mission, we urge you to join us in this important work. Donating appreciated stock to OCA:
* Reduces capital gains tax;
* May allow you to deduct a charitable contribution for the full fair market value, if you’ve owned the stock for more than one year and itemize deductions; and
* Enhances our mission to improve the social, political, and economic well-being of our communities.

This secure online tool guides you through the process of donating stock in about 10 minutes. On our end, it helps OCA keep accurate records and save time, making sure your generosity more directly impacts the advocacy work we all value.

Change starts with you, so give stock today!

By working with our corporate partners, we aim to raise awareness of the issues and opportunities facing our community, as well as empower our members to become leaders and changemakers. Your support for OCA is vital for us to continue this mission. As we celebrate our 50th anniversary, we invite you to join us in making a lasting impact for our community. Please consider making a donation today and help us make a difference for our community.”
- Ken Lee, Ceo Emeritus
