CCF is a very responsive grantmaker that is open to conversations and ideas. Just make sure you have enough of the basics determined for your idea, program or request. If it's a proper fit, they will provide guidance through a fair process.

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.
