Community Investment
With thanks to our members, we award $200,000 in grants annually to deserving organizations.
Our Community Investment Program provides grants to local non-profit organizations twice per year. An employee committee reviews all applications and then makes recommendations to our Board of Directors who approves grant recipients. Grants ranging generally from $3,000 to $25,000 are awarded, up to a total of $100,000 in each round. See our recent recipients below!
Community Investment Application
Our fall 2020 grant round has closed. CCCU’s Board of Directors meets in mid-October, and grant recipients and those not awarded a grant will be notified afterward. Thank you for your interest.
