Fundraising and Support
CFC #32392
Proceeds from the CFC first go to support the tuition scholarship fund, then any remaining funds will go towards items needed at the center.
Volunteering
The gift of time, skill and talent is also an excellent way to support the NIST CCC. There are many wonderful ways for parents to participate in the life of the NIST CCC. We encourage all parents to participate in some way to help maintain the high quality of the Center and its programs but know that participation is strictly voluntary, and does not alter or influence your child’s placement in the CCC. This is your Center, too. Please make the most of it!
Some possible ways to volunteer include:
Technology mentor / support
Center maintenance
Reading to children
Chaperone field trips
Shopping
Support the CCC simply by shopping!
iGive - 2 to 26 percent of proceeds benefit the NIST CCC
AmazonSmile - 0.5 percent of your purchases benefit the NIST CCC. Sign up to participate, and search for the NIST Child Care Association, Inc.
