We Help You Solicit Tax Deductible Donations and Government Grants for Your Conservation Projects

How does it work:

If you wish to solicit tax deductible donations for your project, or apply for government grants, the California Conservation Foundation (CCF), serving the local community since 1986, can work with you.

Many government entities can only give funds to a tax deductible non profit like the CCF, and many people prefer to make donations that are tax- deductible.

You decide on the project. You decide on the how you want to use the funds and confer with us to be sure the expenses will meet IRS rules.

Then you solicit the funds — personal gifts, garage sales, small foundation grants, agencies, employer/employee matches, government grants etc.

Donors write their checks to CCF and specify that their donation be added to a special purpose fund set up for you.

Then after we receive invoices or receipts, we reimburse your expenses with the money from the special fund.

There is no charge for our services

If you believe you could use this service for your project, send us an email with a description of your project and contact information, and we’ll be in touch to talk about it. We are here to help.
