Specialized Training Sessions

The CoServ Charitable Foundation offers specialized Training Sessions tailored to the CCF Grant Application Process. New applicants must participate in a CCF Grant Application session to be eligible to apply for a grant. Participating in one of these sessions will help applicants navigate the process effectively. Attendance will also benefit those who have been awarded a CCF grant in the past, but it is not required. Please note that session schedules are flexible and may be adjusted.
