What does CFCC mean in NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS

The Center for Community Change (CFCC) is a progressive, non-profit organization working to create social and economic justice in communities across the United States. We work with local leaders on issues such as civil rights, immigration reform, economic opportunity, racial equity, climate justice and more. We strive to be a bridge between community-based organizations and the wider public so that ordinary people can take part in creating transformative change.

The Center for Community Change was founded in 1968 by Marian Wright Edelman, who served as its first president for two decades. Since then, we have worked diligently to advance our mission of creating equitable opportunities for all.

Over the past five decades, we have worked with countless grassroots organizers fighting for racial and economic justice from coast to coast. From successful campaigns to increase the minimum wage and boosts in voter registration among young people of color to fighting harmful policies like voting restrictions and discriminatory policing practices –our dedicated activists have made their mark across the country.

To pursue our mission of creating opportunities for everyone regardless of color or income level, we provide direct support including training resources, technical assistance and grants; build bridges with other organizations; lead meaningful policy advocacy efforts; engage in litigations when necessary; organize events where local residents recognize themselves as powerful agents of change; create online tools that empower individuals to become engaged in solving community problems; and educate both communities as well as broader society about issues affecting marginalized neighborhoods.

Our Board of Directors consists of key national civil rights leaders, philanthropists and other notable leaders in their professions. These include Darrick Hamilton (Board Chair), Deepak Bhargava (President), Rev. David Beckmann (Board Vice Chair), LaTosha Brown (Board Secretary) Yvonne Lightfoot Price (Treasurer). Our program staff include experts from various fields representing diverse backgrounds - ensuring an intersectional approach to every project we undertake.
