Sarah Levin

Sarah is driven by a deep belief in the power of nonprofit organizations to strengthen communities and expand opportunity. She is committed to helping mission‑centered institutions advance meaningful, measurable change through thoughtful, strategic philanthropy. 

Since joining CCS in 2017, Sarah has partnered with dozens of nonprofits across sectors to secure the resources needed to drive their work. She has guided clients through transformational campaigns—from $5 million to $4.5 billion—and advised on major and principal gift strategy, compelling case development, annual giving programs, and the systems and structures that sustain long‑term fundraising success. 

Before her career in fundraising, Sarah taught elementary school in New York City, where she saw firsthand how philanthropic investment can change the trajectory of young learners. 

Sarah holds a B.A. in History from Bowdoin College and a M.Ed. from Manhattanville University. A San Diego native, she now resides in New York City. In her free time, Sarah is an avid reader, fitness enthusiast, and regular patron of National Parks.
