Specialized Training Sessions

The CoServ Charitable Foundation offers specialized Training Sessions tailored to the CCF Grant Application Process. We strongly encourage new applicants to participate in one of these sessions to navigate the process effectively. Attendance will also be beneficial for 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.
