Non-Profits Have Access To Grant Research Help from MCCF

"The [eCivis] database has definitely been integral in our grant process.  Getting to the library to use research tools there can be difficult (if not even impossible) for me since I also run our Community Assistance Program and provide guest reception at the front desk. 

We are putting together a spreadsheet of grant opportunities, rated by type, program, etc, so that we can put together an organized and strategic approach.  I am excited that this realm of opportunities has been opened to us! 

Thank you for all of your work" - Andrea Colias, The Christian Center
