Community Charity Services was founded to serve the emerging fundraising and fund development needs of Canada’s charities. There is an ever growing focus on the need for charities to find innovative ways of raising new revenue due to mounting donor fatigue and declining government program assistance. CCS’s management has over 20 years of collective experience in helping non-profit and NGOs (non-governmental organizations) target and achieve their fundraising objectives through innovative programming.
