What We're Doing
Our investment in capacity building goes to the core of creating a vibrant, effective nonprofit sector by targeting sustainable fundraising as a key indicator of what constitutes a healthy organization: vision, mission, focus, leadership, planning, accountability, technology, evaluation and training.
The Campion Foundation invests in strengthening the fundraising potential of the nonprofit sector in three ways:
- The big picture. Our investment in intermediary organizations that provide professional training and development to nonprofits is designed to help the nonprofit sector be recognized as an essential tool for change and a key player in policy making and community planning.
- A strong, ethical fundraising community. Our investment in scholarships and training through organizations that promote the fundraising code of ethics, such as the Association of Fundraising Professionals, helps strengthen the fabric of the philanthropic community.
- Targeted technical assistance. Our investment in capacity building is limited to organizations operating in our two program areas — protecting wilderness and ending homelessness — and intermediary organizations serving the nonprofit community.
