What is the CCF?
UWNI's Community Care Fund began in 1957 with a vision of creating maximum impact and achieving long-lasting results within the community. Funds raised throughout the year are granted to quality local programs that benefit communities in the five northern counties of Idaho. Organizations are granted funding through a competitive application process.
No fees are taken from the Community Care Fund and all contributions stay in North Idaho.
A Powerful Investment.
The CCF funding process and the local volunteers involved are the reasons it can make such an incredible impact. We can understand our area's most pressing needs by including the community. Each focus area has a trained volunteer team known as Community Impact Council. The councils determine funding goals by area, review applications, and vet the agencies.
Grants are awarded for one year and may be used for operational, administrative, staffing, and supply expenses to support the program. Organizations awarded grants must submit an interim six-month progress report and a year-end report on program outcomes. They also must align with one of the investment priorities.
