      <p>The Puente Project is funded through state funds appropriated by the University of California, Office of the President (UC) and the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office (CCC), which serve as co-sponsors for the program. Puente is also supported by corporate, foundation and individual donors. UC serves as the fiduciary agent and steward, managing all Project funds through a UC account. Please contact us through the "Give to Puente" link on either the home page, or under the "Family &amp; Community" navigation bar category, if you wish to find out how you can contribute to the program.</p>
      <p>Puente has a state office that serves as its headquarters and is located in Oakland at the University of California, Office of the President. The Puente State Office has primary responsibility for overall program planning, coordination and administration, including fiscal and policy responsibilities for the program, all program trainings, and data management, analyses and reporting. State Office staff coordinate with two regional offices to provide effective support to local site teams.</p>
      <p>Each site that implements a Puente program signs an annual agreement with the University of California, Office of the President (UCOP), which stipulates the shared responsibilities of the site, the district and the UCOP.  Responsibilities are further clarified in the Implementation Guidelines document provided to each team member.</p>
      <p>Puente also has an advisory board comprised of community, academic, corporate, and philanthropic leaders. The board meets regularly throughout the year to discuss programmatic developments and provide advice to Puente's management team for long-term strategic planning.</p>
      <p>Puente's two regional offices provide local coordination and support for programs in the northern and southern regions of the state. The Northern California Regional Office is located in Oakland; this office serves the area from Bakersfield and Santa Maria in the south, to the Oregon border, including the San Joaquin and Sacramento Valleys. The Southern California Regional Office is located in Diamond Bar and serves the area from San Diego and the Imperial Valley in the south to Santa Barbara County in the north.</p>
      <p>The regional offices are responsible for supporting all aspects of program implementation at each local Puente site. Each center is staffed by two regional project coordinators (RPCs) and a community leadership/mentor (CL/M) coordinator, who provide key liaison functions between the program and the site teams.  Each RPC works with assigned site teams, discusses best practices for the program, and identifies training needs for team members. The CL/M coordinator supports high school students' academic and professional preparation by providing opportunities for their participation in leadership and community activities. The regional office responsibilities may also include coordinating and planning parent conferences, transfer conferences, and other collaborative events with local colleges and universities.</p>
