Become a CCC26 sponsor!
Our sponsors make this event possible. In addition to covering the costs for the venue, reception and catering, and other direct event expenses, our sponsors help us bring more community composters to the event – especially those from underserved areas and chronically disenfranchised identities. Last year, 60 of the over 160 attendees received scholarships in order to attend.
