👇🏼 WHY WE ARE DIFFERENT 👇🏼
👇🏼 WHAT IS CCF?👇🏼
Community-Centric Fundraising (CCF) is a movement that challenges traditional fundraising by asking: Who benefits, and who gets left out? It pushes fundraisers to build trust, share resources, and act with justice in mind.
CCF means raising money in ways that are ethical, inclusive, and rooted in community. It invites nonprofits to treat fundraising as part of their social justice work.
CCF is about fundraising that’s done with the community, not to or for them.
This is your SIGN
to stop struggling, overwhelmed by inconsistent fundraising and missed opportunities 🙁
HEAR FROM ONE OF OUR CLIENTS
HEAR FROM ONE OF OUR CLIENTS
a $1M Gift Secured in Months, and A team with new direction
North York Harvest Food Bank provides food to tens of thousands of people. Facing a leadership gap in fundraising, they lacked the direction and capacity to manage their fundraising team and the strategy.
What we did:
Further Together provided six months of Interim Leadership. We managed a team of five, optimized grant systems, developed key messages, and supported the recruitment and onboarding of their new Director of Development. We also developed Community-Centric guidelines for the team and for the organization overall, helping move the needle within North York Harvest Food Bank.
The results:
Within months, Further Together secured a $1-million-dollar gift—a testament to the impact of expert strategy and skilled leadership.
With our leadership, the senior management team was able to focus on finding the best candidate for their organization, rather than just someone with experience. Due to there being interim leadership, that candidate was set up to hit the ground running.
With a Director of Development now in place, NYHFB is positioned to sustain growth and continue dignified food assistance for their community.
“Further Together would be an asset to any organization looking to develop their fundraising, marketing, communications and community mobilization capabilities”
-Ryan Noble, Executive Director of the North York Harvest Food Bank
