LETTER FROM CEO & FOUNDER

The amount of positive feedback and kind words regarding CostTree’s inaugural issue of CAPTURE has been overwhelming. Thank you. In this issue, we will be talking about transparency in local governments and nonprofits. Transparency has become a hot topic among the public and local agencies alike. CAPTURE hopes to shed some light on the topic of transparency as well as some context. Adding context to the topic of transparency is the key to understanding what you are looking at and how to interpret what has been presented to you. Knowledge is power.

I am very excited to announce that CostTree has partnered with eCivis to better support entities with their grant management needs and to create a transparent grant process that adds context to what the service really costs.
