As an entrepreneurial agency, we bridge the gap to self-sufficiency by providing opportunities and resources.

About us

When Congress passed the Economic Opportunity Act (EOA) of 1964, the goal was to obtain equality of opportunity in education, employment, health and living conditions for every American in our country. To realize this goal, nearly 900 locally-based Community Action Agencies were established throughout the nation; Fresno Economic Opportunities Commission, known as Fresno EOC, is one of these agencies. We are recognized as the largest nonprofit Community Action Agencies in the United States. Founded in 1965, Fresno EOC has spent over five decades investing in people, helping them become self-sufficient. The scope of service provided by our Agency consists of almost all facets of human services and economic development. They range from pre-school education to vocational training; from juvenile and drug abuse counseling to treatment for serious juvenile offenders; from youth recreation to senior citizen hot meal services; from energy conservation education to crisis intervention; from preventive health care to prenatal nutrition education; and from vocational counseling to job placement services. Fresno EOC is a private, nonprofit 501(c)3 corporation governed by a twenty-four (24) member tripartite Board of Commissioners under the auspices of the EOA of 1964. We operate on an annual budget of approximately $130 million and employ over 1,200 full- and part-time staff members.
