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.
United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Washington D.C.
CCS managed and restructured the museum’s development operations and evaluated the potential for a major endowment campaign. The Museum is America's national institution for the documentation, study, and interpretation of Holocaust history, and serves as this country's memorial to the millions of people murdered during the Holocaust. The primary mission is to advance and disseminate knowledge about this unprecedented tragedy; to preserve the memory of those who suffered; and to encourage its visitors to reflect upon the moral and spiritual questions raised by the events of the Holocaust, as well as their own responsibilities as citizens of a democracy. CCS assisted in more than doubling the amount raised for both the Annual Fund and Endowment - bringing in over $86 million during its three years working with the Museum.
Juvenile Diabetes Foundation International (JDF), New York, NY
The Juvenile Diabetes Foundation International (JDF) is the world's leading nonprofit, nongovernmental funder of diabetes research. Initiated in 1989, The Only Remedy Is a Cure Campaign is an international major gifts initiative that pioneered the public/private partnership concept in biomedical research. The campaign secured more than $200 million in new research dollars from government sources, matching the efforts of individuals, foundations, and corporations.
The National Council of LaRaza is the nation's largest and premier civil rights and advocacy organization serving Latinos in the United States. With a membership of more than 30,000 grassroots activists, friends and supporters, and a Corporate Board of Advisors representing many of the nation's top companies, NCLR seeks to improve the lives and opportunities of Latinos through economic development, education and employment initiatives, and programs that improve access to healthcare, ensure civil rights and portray a positive image of Latinos. NCLR launched the Empowering An American Community Campaign in 2001 to raise a minimum of $20 million in support of mission-related programming, a new permanent headquarters facility and Center of Latino Leadership in the Nation's Capital, and to provide an initial corpus of an endowment fund for NCLR. Led by President and CEO, and legendary civil rights pioneer, Raul Yzaguirre, and Board Chair, Jose Villareal, Esq., the campaign raised more than $34 million.
The National Dialogue on Cancer (NDC), now known as C-Change, is a forum that brings together principal leaders of key national cancer organizations, agencies and institutions, plus central figures from other public, private and nonprofit entities, to foster and support efforts to overcome cancer.
The NDC embarked on a major fund-raising initiative to fund the exciting, ambitious plans of its six Action Teams. For example, the Clinical Trials Team was dedicated to the goal of doubling the enrollment in clinical trials by 2005; the Access to Quality Cancer Care Team was committed to reducing the number of people without access to quality cancer care by 50%. This effort raised more than $20 million.
