As an organization....

What Are The Benefits Of Membership In Community Works?

Here is what our members say…

  • Community Works provides additional cost-effective promotional and marketing opportunities for my organization and enables us to access more employees and work sites than I could on my own;
  • Community Works offers the community and employees a more progressive alternative to the United Way;
  • Community Works creates opportunities for my agency to collaborate with other organizations with similar goals;
  • Community Works provides a supportive forum and environment for me to discuss and get help dealing with internal organizational issues like: hiring, and firing and other management issues;
  • Community Works provides some additional unrestricted funding for my organization;
  • Community Works provides a cooperative vehicle to respond to issues raised in the nonprofit community (eg. the recent negative United Way ad campaign of 1999);
  • Community Works is a resource that provides me information about other community resources and fundraising options; for example, which local banks have the best record for community reinvestment;
  • Community Works meetings are a good opportunity for me to network with other groups, especially those with a statewide agenda or constituency; something I cannot get anywhere else.

For all these reasons and more, your best cooperative fundraising and development move this year
is to join us!
