How SCF Grew Annual Revenue from $99K to Over $2M in Three Years
About the Company
Southeast Community Foundation invests in the well-being and advancement of the Southeast Los Angeles community by supporting education, economic development, health, and civic engagement. Its programs are largely funded through local and county contracts, guided by a dedicated Executive Director and board.
The Challenge
SCF’s heavy reliance on public funding made it financially vulnerable. With no formal fundraising systems or major gifts strategy—and only one staff member leading development—the organization needed to diversify revenue through individual and philanthropic giving.
The Solution
Philanthropy Systems partnered with SCF to:
-
Design a major gifts plan targeting community-aligned donors.
-
Introduce donor tracking and pipeline management systems.
-
Engage the board with structured cultivation and introduction strategies.
Results
Over a three-year engagement, SCF grew annual fundraising from $99k to over $2M, significantly reducing reliance on public contracts.
