BUILD THE FOUNDATION
A Reliable and Sustainable CCE
The Coalition for Community Elevation was not created to appear in the community for one event and disappear when the banners come down.
We are building an organization capable of showing up, following through, and remaining accountable to the people we serve.
CCE has established children’s garden projects, placed nearly 400 native oak seedlings with Indigenous communities and community partners, provided backpacks and educational supplies to students, brought families together through Fathers, Food and Foundation, and begun developing youth programs centered on chess, strategic thinking, creativity, fellowship, and respect.
Every one of these efforts requires more than enthusiasm. It requires transportation, insurance, program supplies, printing, storage, communications, volunteer support, administrative services, event equipment, and the ability to respond when a legitimate community need arises.
That is why we created the Build the Foundation Campaign.
This is CCE’s general operating fund. Contributions will help us:
• Maintain the insurance, registrations, and basic services required to operate responsibly
• Transport seedlings, supplies, equipment, and program materials
• Purchase educational, gardening, environmental, and youth activity supplies
• Produce outreach materials, parent forms, volunteer materials, and community information
• Support safe, organized, and welcoming community events
• Strengthen CCE’s administrative and financial foundation
• Prepare for opportunities instead of beginning every project at zero
We are seeking to raise $12,000—an average of $1,000 for each month of dependable community work.
A $10 contribution helps purchase basic supplies.
A $25 contribution supports outreach and program materials.
A $50 contribution helps equip a youth or family activity.
A $100 contribution helps move people, seedlings, equipment, and supplies where they are needed.
Larger contributions strengthen the foundation beneath every CCE initiative.
No contribution is too small to matter. What matters most is building a dependable circle of people who believe that community work should be consistent, responsible, and built to last.
Elevation is not charity. It is partnership.
Help CCE build the foundation required to keep showing up—and keep moving the work forward.
