A lot has happened in just two short weeks! CCF went from a group of 10 committed Seattle-based volunteers to an international base of more than 10,000 people who have already joined our mailing list! WOW! We are so grateful to everyone who has emailed us, messaged us, liked our posts, shared our content, and told their friends and colleagues about us. Thank you!

We just want to give you all a quick update today on three big things:

1. We currently have a huge backlog to get through with our hello@communitycentricfundraising.org email address.

If you sent us an email to that address, thanks so much for your patience. It’s so appreciated! Right now, we have an incredible backlog that we’re trying to get through because of the high interest in CCF. We’ve started dividing up the work and creating systems so that it’s easier to sort through emails. Thanks for hanging in there.

2. Info on starting a CCF chapter is forthcoming! (We just need to figure out some things first.)

With so many people interested in starting chapters, we are brainstorming a more sustainable and efficient system than what we’d originally planned (and we’re taking advantage of some of you who wanted to volunteer).

We’re sorry this is taking a while — we’ve been learning and making decisions as we go. We just didn’t anticipate the interest would be so huge!

After our team works out the next steps, we are definitely going to communicate it out to you — through this mailing list and through our social media channels. We’ll also update our website to reflect the information. We’ll absolutely do our best to let everyone know what’s up when we know.

3. Save the date! CCF Town Hall on August 10!

We’re holding our first CCF Town Hall on August 10 over Zoom! This event will be a chance for everyone to meet some of our content contributors and learn more about their work and individual journeys. The format will be a panel discussion. You can register for it by clicking the button below!

Thanks so much for your interest, passion, support, kind words, and so much more! We really appreciate it. Talk soon!

Sincerely,
The CCF Seattle team
