We have been blessed to work with the Catholic Community Foundation many times over the years. We have always found the foundation staff to be helpful and eager to see our efforts succeed. When we have had questions, or unanticipated things have occurred, the foundation has always been willing to work with us, and answers our emails and calls quickly.

I recommend applying for CCF Grant. Their process seems thorough but still quite generous. They seem intentional about awarding grant to meet both need and in response to the excellence of a grant application.

Staff are accessible and the application process, which involved both an LOI and subsequent grant application, were straightforward and not complicated. Some of the word out there is that they fund only parishes, and they do fund a lot of that type of organization, but they fund other organizations as well.
Pros
Friendly, Builds relationships, Likes site visits, Responsive
