We support projects, programs, and organizations on their way to starting their own nonprofits for those that are mission-aligned, community development projects in Greater KC.

To date, CCF has fiscally sponsored 10 social ventures that have raised more than $3.7 million dollars to support community development and economic opportunity initiatives.
