Human Services
As trusted advisors to social and human service nonprofits, CCS Fundraising helps our partners develop and implement successful fundraising programs that inspire transformational giving, build long-term capacity, and ultimately, serve people in the community.
We work with a wide range of social and human service organizations from local community centers to global federated nonprofit networks. Our consultants stay ahead of the trends, dynamics, and debates impacting the current philanthropic landscape, and draw from experience and fundraising best practices to address the unique needs of each organization we work with and the communities they serve. Our immersive and tailored approach to fundraising meets each client where they are in their fundraising journey and our partners rely on us for advice and guidance—even beyond fundraising strategy.

There were many reasons that a partnership with CCS made sense for Community Servings. As a small shop with many years of fundraising experience, but little campaign experience, we needed their guidance, expertise, and resources to help us chart our course. Their thorough examination of our board, staff, and donor database was invaluable, and their planning study was literally our blueprint for the campaign—start to finish. Working with our dedicated CCS consultants was a wonderful bonus. They clearly cared about our mission, believed in the vision of the campaign, knew first-hand the urgent need, and were personally committed to our success.
