Grant Opportunities

Supporting our community members

Overview

As a cooperative, we have a Concern for Community. Each year we donate back to the communities we serve in the form of donations, sponsorships, scholarships, community events, and youth and educational projects. And as a cooperative, we share our financial success with our members.  We are excited to again offer the following grant opportunities.

Applications can be submitted to NCC either by email: angelas@nccray.com
