Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Federated Giving Programs, Philanthropy
Mission: Community works is a cooperative fund raising effort among community-based and community-controlled organizations. Our goal is to develop a stable and growing source of support for our members primarily through participation in workplace fund raising. Community works is both a means to raise funds and an agent of change. Our presence in the workplace expands traditional definitions of charitable activity to include advocacy and community organizing; increases employee awareness of community resources; demonstrates alternative approaches to addressing pressing issues; focuses attention on issues not previously addressed; and fosters the empowerment of donors as they choose where they will direct their contributions.
Programs: Provision of financial support and technical assistance for charitable and educational member organizations. Member organizations represent community-based advocacy groups supporting low-income and minority constituencies. During fy 2017, community works consisted of 29 member organizations and held workplace campaigns in 18 workplaces.
