The BCCF grants program creates partnerships by enhancing quality of life issues with financial grants assistance. The visibility and success of these grant projects attract new endowment funds. The purpose of the BCCF grants program is to financially support local non-profit agencies (and a few out of state) by an annual competitive grant cycle, similar to the BCCF scholarship program. From a direct mailing, marketing and networking methods, potential grantees are notified of the cycle dates which was approved by the full board. All conflicts of interest are duly noted and recorded.
