Junior Accountant

Community Capital Fund (CCF) is a Community Development nonprofit that provides grants, technical assistance, and coaching to support under-resourced neighborhoods and businesses in the Greater Kansas City Metropolitan Area, helping to advance Asset Based Community Development and increase financial, human and social capital.

CCF has deployed more than $7.5 million to neighborhoods, grassroots nonprofits, and small businesses.
