PROGRAMS & SERVICES
Becoming an active donor is one of the most effective
ways we, as caring human beings, can make a difference
within the lives of others with the little that we have to
offer. Although CCON is a not-for-profit organization, we
still have the same needs as any large or small corporation
in the world. That means we need capital of all forms, as
well as intangible resources.
