Clinton Nonprofits and Charities

I have two children currently at Corn Bible Academy. My wife and I are alumni, and our kids make the 5th generation in our family to attend this school. A significant factor in our decision to move back to the western Oklahoma area was to provide our kids with the opportunity to attend CBA.<br><br>CBA is not only a Christian school, it is a Christian community. The environment for spiritual and intellectual growth for those attending CBA is exceptional. The academic rigor in the classes provides solid footing for progress to the university level. The wide range of extracurricular activities provides students with opportunities to grow and stretch as they learn lessons necessary for success as an independent adult. <br><br>The daily rhythms of bible instruction and community worship provide an opportunity for the formation of a solid Christian worldview, the practice of vibrant faith, and the beginning of a lifetime pursuit of Christ.<br><br>Teachers care in a way that can only be explained by them choosing to live out their faith and show the love of Jesus through their careers. They believe in what they are doing, and genuinely care about the success and well-being of their students.<br><br>The administration has navigated the logistics nightmare that is Covid-19 with exceptional competence. Competing priorities, confusing regulatory environments, and rapidly changing social dynamics were all navigated with wisdom.<br><br>I am glad my kids are at CBA.

This non profit is fantastic! They have saved numerous life’s of so many animals! They are continually raising money for the better lives of animals. Thank you for not letting an animal be euthanized in Clinton bc there was no more pound space left!

Well worth the effort: >> Businessman Walter Schumacher was named the 2006 Man of the Year in Clinton, where he is a popular figure. But questions surround Schumacher's not-for-profit cultural exchange program, which has paid his wife a six-figure salary, bankrolled annual trips abroad and donated cash for civic projects that bear Schumacher's name. >> Every year, hundreds of foreign adult students each pay more than $1,000 to participate in the Clinton-based Apex USA student exchange program. They provide their own transportation to reach their destinations, and then work at jobs near minimum wage to help pay for their housing. >> The tax-exempt Apex takes care of placing them in jobs across the country each semester as a cultural learning opportunity. Some of the students even end up in the small hometown of Chief Executive Walter Schumacher. > But that last aspect concerns a U.S. Department of State official, because the head of the nonprofit is also a landlord and business owner in Clinton. If those students have problems with their work or living conditions, they would normally seek help from the sponsor organization. >> Schumacher, who personally visits several countries annually to promote his organization at Apex's expense, said he has managers to deal with such issues, thus distancing himself from potential conflicts of interest. >> Apex contributions to Clinton's public parks in Schumacher's name further compound concerns of commingling personal and nonprofit finances. ...
