10 Things Social Purpose Organizations Need to Know About Community-Centric Fundraising
Featuring Rickesh Lakhani
Ever feel uneasy about how fundraising happens? Traditional fundraising often focuses more on keeping donors happy than truly serving the community—and it can overlook the well-being of your staff, too. But then there's Community-Centric Fundraising (CCF), which imagines a world where the charitable giving sector moves away from outdated fundraising traditions.
In this session, we'll explore how CCF is challenging outdated fundraising practices, shifting the focus back to what really matters: the needs of your community. Join us to discover fresh, impactful ideas to help your nonprofit thrive in a way that’s good for everyone.
