Agencies Awarded Grants in Fiscal Year 2009:
“While your grants are not the largest we receive, they are in many ways the most important. The imprimatur of our local community foundation gives us credibility with other funders, helping us to leverage many times the CCF grant amount from both private philanthropic and governmental sources.”
