Did you know?
CCFC staff members can develop and write grant proposals for stakeholders
in a very cost-effective manner. Centralina COG member governments are eligible
for even further cost savings. For example, a Centralina member government
could receive 15 hours of grant writing assistance for $300. To date, CCFC
staff has written or partnered on over $3 million in successfully funded grants
and corporate/foundation awards for our stakeholders to accomplish clean transporation
projects. Please contact Jason Wager
