The Board of Directors of The North Capitol Collaborative, Incorporated (NCCI)
is currently seeking proposals from Certified Public Accounting (CPA)
firms/individual to complete at least 12 but not more than 36 months of
financial audits for North Capitol Collaborative, Inc. INTRODUCTION - The
North Capitol Collaborative was established in 1997 to serve local families
with children who are at risk of becoming involved in the child welfare
system. The mission of the NCCI is to protect and care for children,
strengthen families and build thriving communities. This is achieved through
the development of initiatives aimed at increasing the capacity,
participation and knowledge of the community and its service providers in
the prevention of child abuse and neglect, and the philosophy and practice
of strength-based family development through varied engagement strategies to
prevent the removal of any child from his or her family, community and most
importantly stability. BACKGROUND - The focus of the Collaborative is
consistent with both community need and the immediate goals of The Child and
Family Services Agency - prevention and treatment of child abuse/neglect. *
The vision of NCCI is the development of partnerships that concentrate on
family support networks and neighborhood capacity building to prevent the
removal of any child from his or her family and community. This vision is
the result of many years' work on the part of area agencies, organizations
and residents who have long been joined in partnerships focused on community
building activities, and is consistent with the vision of the citywide
Collaborative movement. * It is the philosophy of NCCI that the development
of this mission and vision will lead to healthy families and thriving
communities. * In June of 2000 North Capitol Collaborative was incorporated
becoming North Capitol Collaborative, Inc. and granted status as a 501(c)3
organization in August of 2000. As such, NCCI is required to complete and
file annual reports to funders, taxing agencies and others and to complete
