Community-Centric Fundraising (CCF) is a movement that embeds equity and social justice in fundraising. Grounded in 10 principles, CCF urges fundraisers to critically examine every donor-centric philosophy they’ve been taught, engage in transparent conversations, and fundraise in ways that reduce harm. How does an organization meaningfully reflect the values of CCF in a time of scarcity and uncertainty?
Since 2020, Maria Rio has been working to embrace a community-centric model against the backdrop of a pandemic, changes in senior leadership, and the unprecedented end of highly successful fundraising events. In this session, Maria will go over how you and your organization can approach CCF by auditing your fundraising and storytelling.
Facilitated by Mario Rio, Founder, Further Together.
This workshop is brought to you in partnership with Dr. Bronner’s and San Diego Gives.

Lee and Toni were lifelong entrepreneurs with a passion for innovation and for supporting talent. They believed that only with big risk comes big reward. Both born to families in poverty, Toni to a single mother, they strongly believed in helping those most in need and most vulnerable in our community. While they supported many causes, their strongest support was for young children and the elderly, two demographics who particularly lack voice in our society.

You would think that as the executive director of San Diego LGBT Pride, Fernando Zweifach López Jr., who uses the pronoun they, has done all the coming out they possibly can. A queer, non-binary individual who has worked for many years on civil rights issues, López also speaks openly and often about their father’s family, Mexican-American migrant workers who tilled the fields of rural California.
