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.
