The Linchpin Campaign, run by the Center for Community Change, has released a new free resource to help community organizers raise money more effectively, writes Elisabeth Anderson on the Future Leaders of Philanthropy blog.
The guide, Untapped: How Community Organizers Can Develop and Deepen Relationships With Major Donors and Raise Big Money, is “a great addition to community organizing’s fund development toolbox, and is full of insights and specific how-to’s to engage long-term supporters,” writes Ms. Anderson.
The Center for Community Change, which focuses on nurturing leaders of low-income, mostly minority communities, created the Linchpin project to garner greater support for community organizers. The profession — which has gotten increased attention since the election of the former community organization Barack Obama to the U.S. presidency, “is certainly a popular career path right now,” notes Ms. Anderson.
