ASSETS, CONTRIBUTIONS & GRANTS

The continued generous contributions from our donors and foundation partners has led to an over $713 million increase in assets from June 30, 2021, reaching an all-time high of $2.63 billion. Our asset portfolio is divided into four categories that reflect the many types of partnerships between CCF and our donors: Permanent Discretionary Funds, Donor Advised Funds, Permanent Restricted Funds and Other Funds
