Project details
What we need

- Persuasive copy that can be used in appeals to donors, annual reports, grant applications, and media relations
- Popular examples: Organization's founding story, a program achievement or milestone, a look back at the past few years, organizational backgrounder, etc.
- Note: This project is not intended to support your general content planning or marketing but there are several projects in our Marketing & Communications category which are a good fit!
What we have in place
- We currently have an organzation that we would like to hightlight, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a staff member who will be able to assist in setting up interviews, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,397 , allowing us to tell the story of how community philanthropy can positively impact community and uplift their amazing efforts.
Storytelling is a very important part of our organization. This project will help increase the knowledge of community philanthropy and its positive impact on communities through the Arkansas and Mississippi Delta.
Project plan
Our mission
The mission of the Clinton School Center on Community Philanthropy is to explore the concept of philanthropy as the kind of giving and sharing from within that is characteristic of positive change and long-lasting development in impoverished communities.
What we do
LEADERSHIP - The Center on Community Philanthropy is a leader in promoting issues and concepts that illustrate its philosophy that community-based philanthropy is a powerful tool in social, economic and political change. This approach allows the center to lead new efforts to increase access, visibility and engagement of population groups of women, youth and communities of color in the practice of giving.
RESEARCH - The center's work involves conducting research and writing about philanthropy. The research analyzes the emergence of philanthropy in communities of color, communities of deprivation, and communities of multicultural "citizenship" by improving access to useful knowledge about giving and social change philanthropy.
CONVENING - The center has a strategic approach to convening with the goal of creating better connections between philanthropists, non-profits and for profit organization and stakeholders across all community sectors. The center sponsors seminars and forums for dialogue about how government, business and the non-profit sector can understand each other better and work together to address social, economic and human development issues. These convenings are a mechanism to increase collaboration of stakeholders, business leaders and grassroots champions.
