SUMMARY:Spotlight on Community-Centric Fundraising
DESCRIPTION:This session is offered by the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits.\n\nTuesday\, March 21st\, 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM ET\n\nRegistration Fees: $129 for Members\, $169 for Nonmembers.  Please log into the Member Portal to find the member discount code\, or email hilaria@dev.wvnpa.org. \nREGISTER NOW\nCommunity-Centric Fundraising (CCF) is a grassroots movement that seeks to move philanthropy and fundraising forward in a way that centers racial and economic justice. CCF\, and its 10 Principles\, were introduced to the nonprofit world by a collective of nonprofit fundraisers of color in 2018. You’ve probably heard of the concept\, but as a young(ish) movement\, many in the nonprofit sector are still unsure how to implement CCF in their own practice. \nThis one-day training of four sessions is designed to support nonprofit fundraisers in better understanding the Community-Centric Fundraising movement\, its Principles\, and how to both incorporate CCF into their work and help advance the effort to further fundraising practices that are grounded in race\, equity\, and social justice. \nParticipants of this Spotlight will: \n\n\n\n\nLearn about the philosophy and principles of CCF\nExamine the inequitable history of philanthropy\, and possibilities for the future\nExplore how to move fundraising practices forward to focus on social justice\nHear from practitioners who have applied CCF at their organization\nGain knowledge and strategies they will be able to implement in their own work\n\n\n\n\nSpotlights are day-long virtual trainings\, offering four to five 60-minute sessions\, each exploring a different aspect of a specific topic. Each session will be led by experienced nonprofit leaders and subject-matter experts. Spotlights are designed to offer practical information that can be applied immediately along with larger-picture questions and possibilities to consider for the long-term. \nThe Spotlight will be hosted by Mallory Mitchell of CCF MN. \nSchedule\nAll times listed in Central Time \n10 – 11 a.m. // Introduction to CCF\nThe history of philanthropy is rooted in inequity. Some of these same narratives and systems remain embedded in the sector today. In order to move the work of nonprofits forward\, and to best serve our communities\, a re-examination of the philosophies and practices of fundraising is needed. The Community-Centric Fundraising movement aims to center social justice and reduce harm in nonprofit work. This session will touch on the history and systemic problems with nonprofits and foundations\, introduce the Principles and key concepts of the movement\, and share the values and vision of CCF.\nAndrea Hite\, associate program director\, Breakthrough Twin Cities \n \n11:30 a.m. // 12:30 p.m. – CCF in Action\nSession description forthcoming. \n1:30 – 2:30 p.m. // Getting Buy-in from your Organization\nAre you interested in implementing CCF at your nonprofit? Great! Now what? Join this session to hear from a fundraising professional about her experience of making the case for CCF at her organization. She’ll share how she presented the opportunities to leadership\, what has been implemented so far\, and some potential strategies for how to get from maybe to yes in the future. Transformational change is a process; and can start with building support and strengthening your case to bring others along with you in the work.\nPie Paulson\, grants specialist and Mala Thao\, vice president of individual philanthropy\, Greater Twin Cities United Way \n \n3 – 4 p.m. // What it Means to be an Anti-Capitalist Fundraiser\nCCF is deconstructing the way we have historically viewed fundraising. One thing that comes to focus from it all is that fundraising is hard work. Whether you’ve been doing it for years or just starting out\, the physical and mental tolls can be overwhelming. As we seek to continue changing the way we think about fundraising for a more equitable world\, we also need change the way we take care of ourselves and our relationships with power and wealth. This session touches on how community healing\, re-examining our structures\, and becoming an anti-capitalist fundraiser helped battle doubts\, solidarity\, and provided continuing hope for the future of the fundraising field.\nCarlos García León\, individual giving manager\, Chicago Shakespeare Theater \nThis event is offered in partnership with CCF MN\, a collective for Minnesota-based fundraisers who are committed to the CCF movement. This Spotlight will be hosted by Mallory Mitchell of CCF MN.
