Testimonials
Don't take our word for it.
Polly Andersen, Board Chair, Frazee Community Development Corporation
"CCC has been right by our side for several years as our organization and our park have established themselves. Without their senior leadership and strategic understanding on everything from grants to board management to capital campaigns, we would not be where we are today.
I've seen our key partners, including county and city staff, say, 'We really like working on this project. It's fulfilling. It's rewarding. We're seeing results.!
That is definitely because of CCC's leadership."
Ian Carlstrom, Regional Director West Central Small Business Development Center
"CCC is honestly doing the best work of any small-town community development organization in the region, possibly beyond.
Their approach is on point because they understand the work, creating sustainable solutions, and are doing it with the end impact in mind."
Ryan Stockstrom, Pastor and Nonprofit Board Member
"Nothing in recent years has created more catalyst for change in Frazee than Creating Community Consulting. CCC brought people together to have faith for a better future. With their expertise in community visioning and grant writing support, they were exactly what Frazee needed to help create the spark for people to take steps of action. The results are obvious, the community is being cared for by community and much needed funding has come into our town. We are truly blessed as they have been the stimulus we needed!"
