OUR GOALS
With support of local donors, CFCC invests large donations and creates permanent endowments, generating ongoing earned income that will be used to reinvest in the community year after year.

Through our working relationship with the Cecil County Public Library and their Business Information Center, the Library will offer workshops, training and resources for nonprofit professionals.
CFCC works directly with community nonprofits to assist their outreach efforts to their own donors.
