Environment & Animals
Mobilizing support for nature and wildlife.
Protecting wildlife and the fragile ecosystems they call home requires long-term support, broad-based engagement, and, above all, consistent funding.
From innovative stewardship approaches to capacity building to public-private partnerships, CCS works alongside zoos, aquariums, conservation organizations, land trusts, animal shelters, and more to attract the resources needed to protect vital ecosystems and safeguard human, animal, and planet health for generations to come.
CCS has impacted the environment & animals sector by…
… advising clients with average campaign goals of $128M.
… developing a capital campaign that helped a client build a new visitor’s center, dramatically increasing exposure to nearly one million visitors.
… helping a client secure a $20 million commitment and numerous seven-figure gifts.
Hundreds of organizations like yours have trusted CCS to help raise the funds needed to save species and their habitats, and bring wildlife together.
How we do it
Our team works alongside scientists, lawyers, policymakers, advocates, and volunteers to turn insights into results, conducting planning studies that test community-centered cases, managing campaigns that grow capital and endowments, and applying predictive analytics to expand donor networks. Every initiative is designed to strengthen partnerships and sustain long-term environmental and animal welfare impact.
