CKCF continues our commitment to making our community a better place, and one of the ways we do that is with our Partners in Philanthropy program. Through Partners in Philanthropy, you have the opportunity to invest in projects that directly impact lives and strengthen the community we all call home.
Each year, nonprofit organizations across our region submit applications through Granted, CKCF’s competitive grant program. These grant applications represent a wide range of needs and opportunities that help organizations carry out their missions. This year, we are pleased to share 30 grant opportunities with you, each reflecting the dedication and innovation of our nonprofit partners.
We have also included 7 Big Spark Grant applications. This is our second year highlighting large-scale projects that will require funding from multiple partners to come to life. These proposals represent bold ideas that can only become reality when many come together in support.
Your generosity through Partners in Philanthropy ensures that these ideas and initiatives move from vision to reality. By aligning your giving with these projects, you directly impact the well-being of individuals and families while strengthening the fabric of our community.

Grants go through an evaluation process, so If you have questions or would like more details, we can provide those to you. Should you wish to contribute partial or full funding for a proposal, please complete the Granted Recommendation Form HERE or the Big Spark Recommendation Form HERE and email it to dswiney@ckcf4people.org by Friday, October 2nd.
Thank you for considering these projects and initiatives, which are just a small representation of the good work nonprofits in our region carry out year-round. We are excited to partner with you to help transform our community for the better.
