Over the last year and a half, The Stop has worked hard to transition our fundraising from donor-centric practices to a community-centric model. 

As part of our commitment to Community-Centric Fundraising (CCF), we’ve had conversations with donors, partners and institutional supporters about the problematic aspects of philanthropy and how we can implement a more community-centric approach.
