What does CLIPCO do? • CLIPCO is a non-profit 501(c)(3) foundation • Our main goal is to raise money to pay for your child’s bilingual education (program needs), as CUSD does not pay for the Chinese portion. • We DO NOT decide on what to fund – we just raise the money for the priorities created by the CAC (CLIP Advisory Committee) • CLIPCO also organizes community events to bring our CLIP families together.
