Faith
Where stewardship advances the mission.
Faith communities inspire generosity, shape hearts and minds, and bring people together in service to something greater than themselves.
For more than seven decades, CCS has worked alongside Church leaders and faith communities to advance their spiritual and temporal goals. We partner with dioceses, parishes, synagogues, congregations, religious orders, and ministries to help build a culture of giving and sustain their mission for generations to come.
CCS has impacted the faith sector by…
… helping Catholic parishes exceed expectations; one campaign raised more than twice its goal, while another reached nearly 100% of its target in just six months.
… supporting Jewish organizations and synagogues as they strengthen community life, including one welcoming 96 new households and another sustaining or increasing giving among 66% of members.
… driving generosity for Episcopal parishes; from achieving an average gift of $27,800 in one client campaign to securing a $5 million lead gift for another client.
Grounded in faith and guided by mission, communities of every faith tradition turn to CCS to cultivate stewardship, inspire generosity, and ensure their mission continues to thrive.

They also provided support to launch a $30 million scholarship effort for Catholic school families and assistance with establishing a long-term, productive organizational structure in the development office. CCS team members have the skill, experience, and professionalism to help you exceed even ambitious fundraising targets.”
