CCFC also invites representatives from our grant recipients to speak at our monthly meetings and share additional information about how the CCFC grant was used. Katharine Rondthaler Krieg shared information about One Cool Earth.
CCFC members meet monthly in one of the member’s home with the philosophy that the more money we raise, the more money to help children. There is not an office or paid staff to help keep the overhead down. Overhead for CCFC is approximately 5%. All money is raised through member dues, donations, both private and business, and the two major fundraisers. These funds are then distributed to organizations and agencies in San Luis Obispo County through a grant process. Grant applications are available on our website and are accepted until September 30. The grants are then reviewed by an appointed committee and awarded in December.
