ABOUT THIS LIBRARY
Fundraising Fundamentals was launched in 2020 by a volunteer group of CCS Fundraising directors as part of CCS’s commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.
While open to all nonprofits, this library was created to provide meaningful fundraising resources and step-by-step guidance to emerging nonprofits that partner with communities of color, are led by leaders of color, or both. Often, the missions of these organizations focus on issues that disproportionately affect people of color due to institutional racism.
