Key Elements
- The three-year effort raised $103.7 million.
- More than $30 million went to support immediate needs.
- Almost $70 million went to the endowment.
The Challenge
Baltimore Community Foundation set a fundraising goal of $100 million in order to address four purposes: immediate investments in education and neighborhoods; endowment for BCF, to strengthen the organization for the future; endowment for Baltimore, to generate income that BCF can use for the pressing needs of Baltimore today and tomorrow; and endowed donor-advised funds, a commitment from donors that their philanthropy will be a permanent resource.
The Solution
Before launching their campaign, BCF retained CCS to conduct a feasibility study. CCS remained in assistance to BCF by providing training & leadership consultation during the campaign.
The Impact
After the three year campaign effort, the funds raised went over goal, reaching $103 million on a $100 million goal. More than $30 million of these funds went to support immediate needs, and nearly $70 million went to endowment to support long term goals in Baltimore.
