CCF Faqs

Yes! CCF is actually mostly volunteer-led and started as volunteer-led! We are always interested in connecting with folks who are interested in helping us further the CCF movement. While there are many ways to get involved, if you’re interested in donating your time and expertise to CCF specifically, please fill out our volunteer form. Do keep in mind that response time may be delayed because we are a small and mighty team.

We recommend that white folks check out our FAQ for white allies as a first step.

You might also consider  volunteering your time with CCF, donating money to CCF, or contributing to our Content Hub. You can review our editorial guidelines here. Keep in mind we center Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) voices at CCF, and we may not always be able to publish content from white folks as often.

One way to get further the movement is to start up a chapter where you’re at, if it makes sense to. If you’re interested, register to join the Mighty Network to see if there are others in your area interested in starting a chapter (or if one already exists!). 

The best way to get the latest info about what’s coming up for CCF is to check our event page or sign up for our newsletter.

While some of our events may have segments we can record and share, most of our events will be interactive and involve breakout groups, making it hard to record. We house the recordings of events that we record on the event page here.

We are striving to be as inclusive as we can be, so our intention is to make most of our events closed captioned. Livestream events on Mighty Network can’t currently be closed captioned, but recordings can. If there are other ways that we can accommodate, please let us know by reaching out to hello@communitycentricfundraising.org.

This is something we are working on, but we currently don’t have many downloadable assets. At the moment, folks are free to share CCF’s 10 Principles, with attribution (in print) or a link back (online) to our website. Thank you!

You certainly can! Because our capacity is often fairly limited, but we are very inspired by the enthusiasm and passion for this movement. Please reach out to hello@communitycentricfundraising.org to get a conversation started. Do keep in mind that response time may be delayed because we get a high volume of emails.

We are open to trainings, speaking engagements, and other customized ways to talk about CCF’s work for a fee, based on a sliding scale. We evaluate these kinds of requests on a case-by-case basis, so please reach out to us at hello@communitycentricfundraising.org to start a conversation. If you are looking for a speaker who can do CCF-related consulting, but don’t need someone who is currently on leadership with CCF Global, we have our Speakers’ Bureau of past and present leaders in the movement.

It should be noted that any assessment we share is just a starting point on a lifelong equity journey! We hope folks use assessments as a tool to get a temperature check at the moment, rather than as any sort of certification or “stamp of approval.” To start taking that temperature, check out the CCF Aligned-Actions List.

You may also want to check out the League of Conservation Voter’s assessment. (It is written by Angela Park in collaboration with Tiffany Chan, Curt Coffing, John Reuter, Hope Rippeon, and Ed Zuckerman of the State Capacity Building Department of League of Conservation Voters who funded its creation.) We encourage organizations to use and adapt this tool. Please cite its origins when doing so.
