CCS Fundraising

A flourishing philanthropic landscape continues to grow at a rapid pace in North Texas, bringing with it both tremendous opportunity and increased challenges for nonprofit leadership. As the demands and opportunities increase and resources remain limited, development leaders often feel the pressure to focus on immediate needs rather than long-term growth strategies. Join us for this dynamic and interactive session. CCS Fundraising experts will show you how to support immediate needs while remaining focused on developing sustainable growth practices and team capacity. This presentation will provide case studies from leading philanthropic institutions on how a culture of philanthropy and strategic fundraising is built and sustained amidst immediate priorities. Learn how to increase the capacity of your development team and instill a culture of philanthropy within the board, organizational leadership, staff, donors, volunteers, and the community. Examples will include comprehensive campaigns, holistic strategic planning, and board engagements. Successful nonprofit leaders understand how to cultivate momentum, initiate sustainable growth, and cultivate a successful development team. Whether you're an established nonprofit or just starting, this session will equip you with actionable insights, so your organization thrives in the evolving philanthropic ecosystem of North Texas.
