Let NCDS revitalize your organization
and transform your community.
“The long-term progress and success of many of our client communities is especially rewarding, and a testament to what can be achieved when you properly align sound strategies, committed leaders, and essential financial resources.”
-Tom DiFiore
NCDS President & CEO
National Community Development Services (NCDS) is America's leader in campaign fundraising for chambers of commerce and economic development organizations.
NCDS secures the financial resources that allow community and economic development organizations to fulfill their missions, increase their impact and value, and make their communities better places to live, work, and start or grow businesses. Our fundraising campaigns succeed because we do far more than simply ask constituents for financial support.
Founded in 1977 by Howard Benson, NCDS pioneered the multi-year strategic initiative approach that remains the industry standard for increasing organizational relevance, capacity, and economic impact. We've raised over $1.8 billion in communities of all sizes, from a few thousand people to several million.
"I have worked with NCDS on 4 successful campaigns in three different communities, Boise, ID, Missoula, MT and Erie PA. Because of their tried and true methodology and expertise, we have always been able to clearly articulate goals and measures of success that investors are looking for in an economic development initiative and been successful in raising the necessary resource to implement the strategies."
