Brookfield Community Club Grant Guidelines
The Brookfield Community Club (BCC) is a nonprofit, volunteer organization in the Town of Brookfield dedicated to fulfilling the purpose outlined in Article 2 of its by-laws: “The objective shall be to benefit the school and community and to foster community spirit through service and fellowship.”
The BCC raises funds primarily through the Apple Country Fair, held each October. The success of this event depends on the generous time and effort of many volunteers, and the Club welcomes all who wish to support its mission.
