FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION

The composting council research and education foundations (ccref) supports initiatives that enhance the stature and practices of the composting industry by supporting scientific research, increasing awareness and educating the public to advance environmentally and economically sustainable organic recycling.

After establishing grant- making criteria, the ccref will use an open rfp process to solicit proposals for research and education projects. Young investigator scholarship: the focus of the program is to help support young professionals' research in the fields of compost use and application, and the soil water connection. The goal is to bring attention to emerging young professionals in the field of compost.
