Requests for Special Project Funding
New Laboratory Equipment
CCFC hosts researchers, more and more every year. We now have full time staff that help us host and direct researchers. But we need to update our science equipment. In order for CCFC to stay on the cutting edge of conservation research, we need to raise $5,000 for new laboratory equipment. Please consider contributing toward the acquisition of state-of-the-art tools for DNA research that will help us better gauge the impacts of our conservation work.
New Coffee Roaster
Many WALC students grow coffee in their agroforest parcels. We purchase some of that coffee from our students. We roast the coffee here at CCFC. We sell some coffee to visitors and hundreds of pounds of this coffee are enjoyed by our students and guests right here on campus. What you may not know is that our Advanced WALC Interns roast all this coffee by hand with an antique, over-the-fire, coffee roaster designed in the 1880s. We need to raise $5,000 to buy state-of-the-art equipment coffee processing equipment. If you are a big fan of CCFC coffee please consider contributing to this worthy project.
Road Repair
Unglamorous but essential: CCFC needs some major maintenance work on our roads before WALC starts in November. Our one kilometer long entrance road is getting so bad that taxis are having a hard time driving in. We need to raise $5,000 to fix our road.

Sustained Giving
How do you make your donation to CCFC?
- Do you donate to an end-of-year request?
- Respond to a specific request?
- RMD?
- Monthly giving?
Do you know about sustained or monthly giving? Please consider joining our “cultivator group” to help CCFC grow. Just as you would tend a garden, a regular donation provides us with reliable, year-round support that allows us to plan ahead and sustain meaningful programs without interruption. While WALC takes place at the end of the calendar year and we have Kids & Birds in the first part of the year, we do have expenses all year long.
- $25 / month = $300 / year………………Could support one WALC participant
- $40 / month = $480 / year………………Could support one school for Kids & Birds (4 days)
- $100 / month = $1200 / year……………Could support the reforestation and care of an acre of cloud forest
Please consider this option with CCFC. Like your Netflix subscription, you set up a monthly draw on your credit card or your bank.
