PRIORITIZE COMMUNITIESReimagine Fundraising
Community-Centric Fundraising is a fundraising model that is grounded in equity and social justice. We prioritize the entire community over individual organizations, foster a sense of belonging and interdependence, present our work not as individual transactions but holistically, and encourage mutual support between nonprofits.

EQUITABLE FUNDRAISING
CENTERED AROUND COMMUNITY
We need a fundraising model in which we respect donors and build strong relationships with them, but one that they are not the center of. The community we serve and benefit from must be centered.
MOVEMENT BUILDING
We envision a sector that believes in the principles of Community-Centric Fundraising, that uses these fundraising principles and practices to build the power and voice of communities of color.
EVER-EVOLVING
The CCF principles and sample actions are iterative and will change and evolve as we have more conversations, including, likely, some more healthy arguments.

Funders must re-think norms to expand disability access and inclusion in philanthropy
While the barriers to building a thriving, disabled-led organization can feel insurmountable, funders have the opportunity to break cycles and fund pathbreaking work if they can imagine a future where everyone can not just survive but thrive.
Leaving trace: Archives as community memory
…a reflection on how we leave trace in a world that often prefers us unrecorded; how we craft memory in the face of disappearance; how we insist on our survival not only as individuals but as a collective story.
