Advocacy
Fueling movements and advancing your influence.
In times of crisis and change, donors are quick to donate but often never make a second gift.
CCS mobilizes supporters and builds recurring gift programs to ensure advocacy organizations have the systems and tools needed to create lasting change.
CCS has impacted the advocacy sector by…
… advising clients with average campaign goals of $150M+, including securing transformative 8-figure gifts.
… creating the infrastructure to fuel sustainable growth.
… doubling a client’s annual revenue through strategic segmentation of the donor base.
We help advocacy organizations sustain fundraising momentum while building long-term infrastructure.
How we do it
Working in partnership with leaders and volunteer teams, we analyze donor data to identify greater opportunities, develop major gift programs that resonate, and implement strategies to increase donor retention. Each initiative is built to expand reach and help tell your story of impact.
Anti-Defamation League
“I cannot imagine being as successful as we have been in our major fundraising campaign without the help of CCS. Their approach is organized, client-centric, and highly creative. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking to launch or run a major campaign.”
