Oxfam America

Boston, MA

More than one billion people, or one-third of the world's population, live on less than $1 a day. For millions of people, escaping poverty seems impossible. Oxfam America, an international humanitarian and development organization and affiliate of Oxfam International, has been working for over 35 years to address the root causes of poverty and help people gain hope, skills, and direction to create new futures for themselves. Oxfam is also bold in the global arena, addressing social injustice through advocacy campaigns, public education, and emergency assistance programs. CCS conducted a feasibility and planning study for Oxfam America in the fall of 2004 and is currently assisting Oxfam America in planning for its campaign.

The Acrin Fund For Imaging Innovation

American College of Radiology (ACR), Reston, VA

For over three quarters of a century, the American College of Radiology (ACR) has devoted its resources to making imaging safe, effective, and accessible to those in need by providing training and certification programs for its nearly 33,000 members. The ACR Imaging Network (ACRIN®), a national clinical trials consortium under the leadership of ACR, is dedicated to conducting clinical cancer trials of diagnostic imaging and image-guided therapeutic technologies as they relate to cancer. To fulfill the promise of ACRIN® and accomplish new goals, ACR established The ACRIN Fund for Imaging Innovation. This campaign - the first of its kind for ACR - seeks to raise monies for the ACRIN® Fund by reaching out to corporations, foundations, and individual members for philanthropic support. Although the campaign is still underway, ACR has already exceeded its $5,000,000 goal. More significant gifts are expected as others are invited to participate in the ground-breaking work of ACRIN®. CCS is proud to be assisting ACR with this highly successful effort in the fight against cancer.
