The biggest charitable giving tax break is for people who don’t itemize. You can deduct up to $300 for charitable cash gifts.  Thanks to Charlene Quah, CPA, CTC, owner of Houston’s XQ CPA for her video explaining this break that Congress passed as a part of the CARES Act (and why you should use it to support COCI).

A committed educator for a unique new program

Middle school is when children of incarcerated parents face some of their biggest challenges. We knew it would take a fresh new approach to help them thrive during early adolescence. So when we developed GEM, Gaining Empowerment in Middle School, we knew we needed a dedicated professional educator to launch the program.
Meet Brandi Walker, GEMS Manager and Instructor

Prior to joining COCI, Ms. Walker spent nearly a decade in education. She brings a unique insight into the needs of children of incarcerated parents because she experienced that loss in her own childhood.

With her experience in Houston schools and her passion for the students we serve, she will now spearhead the launch of our new GEMS program.

Ms. Walker sat down with Ken Wells, COCI President and CEO to answer a few questions about herself and her goals for the program.
