CATALYZING COMMUNITY GIVING

The Kappa Alpha Psi Foundation was selected by the Association of Black Foundation Executives to participate in the Catalyzing Community Giving Institute (CCGI), October 1 – 4, 2015 at the Residence Inn National Harbor Washington, DC.  CCGI is designed to build the capacity of Black organizations by increasing their understanding of:

The national and regional philanthropic landscape and infrastructure of organized philanthropy;

Sound fundraising principles and techniques, including strategies and best practices for building and managing comprehensive development programs; and

ABFE’s Responsive Philanthropy in Black Communities framework as a strategy for transformative philanthropy.

As a result of the Kappa Alpha Psi Foundation’s participation in CCGI and follow-up activities, they will be able to increase individual giving to the Foundation and increase levels of philanthropic support for Black communities. The objective is to complete a strategic fundraising plan at the end of the workshop and receive coaching over a six-month period for implementation.
