Supported entirely by private donors, Brian’s Fund pays for emergency and special needs for people in Orange County with developmental disabilities – needs that cannot be funded by the Regional Center or any other public source. As a result of contributions to Brian’s Fund, many individuals and families served by RCOC have been helped through a financial crisis or had other critical needs met when there was no one else to whom they could turn.

Brian’s Fund is named for Brian Flotho, a young man with a developmental disability who spent his 28-year life advocating for the service, civil and legal rights of his peers. The Fund continues Brian's personal commitment to friends in need, paying for things such as emergency rent, food, clothing, special equipment or dental care.

Brian's Fund is administered by RCOC, a nonprofit organization, so your contributions are tax deductible. You also are assured that every dollar of your donation goes directly to those needing help, because RCOC covers all costs associated with administering the fund.
