Read the article in Nonprofit Quarterly.
Today, Nonprofit Quarterly published my article on the decline of the CFC. Much of the article’s information and opinions will be familiar to readers of this blog. However, the article adds historical perspective about the CFC and workplace giving in general to data published in WGA’s annual Million Donors Choose reports. It also considers how some private-sector workplace giving initiatives are thriving today even as public sector campaigns decline, and it suggests lessons the CFC might learn from those corporate successes. The larger argument, however, is that workplace giving campaigns offer a valuable way of building community – both internally among employees and between employees and the wider world. With our collective sense of community assailed from all sides today, opportunities to counter those forces become increasingly important. The CFC has been one of those opportunities for more than half a century. Though it has been in decline, there are ways of rescuing it, and working for its recovery is well worth our efforts.
