CCF is very easy to work with. They took my call to discuss potential projects and which might fit the intention of the grant the best. The application was easy, straightforward, and short. They were clear about the timeline throughout the process.

Thank you so much for your generosity.

keep a good eye on deadlines and allow yourself enough time to search out the information required on a form, and then time to get your questions asked to the proper CCF personnel.

Jon was so great about getting back to me in a timely fashion, and he was super friendly and very helpful.

This is such an important help as we begin this new mission to serve our parish with Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. It has a very pricey start up cost, so the financial help was HUGE to our small parish.
This is so important. Thank you for not letting hard work and struggles get in the way of helping fund great things!
They are very friendly, and quick to respond. I had alot of questions, and was not sure how to find some of the pieces of information they collected. They were very patient with my many questions.

Don't assume you won't qualify; take the time to apply even if you don't know the exact details of what you want to do. The important part is your overall goal.

I don't know a lot about CCF as an organization, but I have had a positive experience thus far.
Perhaps give an expected date by which applicants will receive an answer. Otherwise, again, a very positive experience.

CCF is a great resource, and the grant process is simple. I just recommend explaining your needs as clearly as possible and being practical about what that funding can accomplish. The grant program associates seemed to be responsive to that approach.

Read the grant requirements and make sure that it fulfills the requirements before you begin. Remember that it's not just "money," it's good people investing their hard-earned dollars to make the world a better place, so think about that as you write the grant/dream up ideas. If you were a donor, how would you like your money spent? Then

Super easy format and very clear directions.
Good
They know exactly what they want, and how their donors want their money to be used.
It was a bit of a long time between the final application submittal and the "Hey, we funded you (or not) and your money is coming." Most programs are planned in April/May/June for a September launch, so getting a finding notice in mid-August is a bit close.
Gets the message out that they have funds to distribute!

It was a simple and easy process. You will need to be prepared to present way the funds are needed with details.
