Reviewer 5919 - Grant Applicant - applied in 2023
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.

This funder takes an authentic interest in the programs it funds. The staff is friendly and engaged.
This foundation's reporting expectations reflect their trust in reputable organizations to do good work well. It takes hours - not days - to generate status reports. This is truly helpful, because it allows us to use our time in service, not reporting.
The foundation's funding aligns with its priorities.
CCF takes time to see our work in action. They attend events. While reporting and data are important, this foundation focuses on the humanity of charitable works.
