Overview

Mission

The community coalition supports and celebrates individuals, families, and social institutions through a collaborative fundraising effort. This creative approach by the coalition combines efficient business practices with the commitment to furthering the diverse work of its member organizations.

What it reported doing in 2024

The community coaltion is an innovative model of collaboration among five non-profit organizations in southeastern Pennsylvania dedicated to fundraising together and sharing resourcs so that expenses are cut and more donor money can go directly to programs. Our member organizations are represented as members of our board of directors and we all decide by consensus how dollars are raised and spent. In 2024, we distributed $50,000 in funds to our five member organizations.
