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.
"On behalf of the officers and directors of the Economic Development Alliance, I want to thank you and your staff for the great job NCDS did in helping restructure the Alliance, and for successful management of the fundraising campaign that fully funded our five-year action plan. The NCDS process and format delivered exactly what you said it would do when you met with Alliance members over eighteen months ago. The NCDS process engaged top regional private and public sector leaders and attracted financial support from large and small companies and communities throughout the region."
