COFI Community Organizing and Family Issues is a non-profit organization based in Aurora, IL that empowers low-income families to become leaders and advocates for change in their communities. Through their proven, family-focused organizing model, COFI trains parents to develop their personal, family, and community goals, build partnerships, and work with decision-makers to create lasting policy and systems change. With a track record of success, COFI has trained thousands of parents, eliminated municipal fees and fines, reinstated recess for elementary school students, expanded SNAP benefits, and referred children to early learning programs.
COFI's approach is rooted in the belief that parents are the true champions and fighters for their families. Their inspiring stories of passion, persistence, and courage are at the heart of COFI's work. By ensuring that parents have a seat at the table where decisions are being made, COFI strives to create a more equitable and inclusive society where all families have a voice and the power to shape their own futures.
