Our Approach to Fundraising
CODE is committed to responsible and transparent fundraising. We maintain a diversified fundraising program that includes major gifts, foundation and corporate partnerships, annual giving, and monthly giving. These fundraising channels generate returns over different time horizons: major and institutional giving typically provide strong returns within the year, while investments in acquiring new individual donors are intended to generate longer-term value as donors continue their support month after month or year after year.
For fiscal year 2026–27, CODE expects to raise a minimum of $1,611,000 at an estimated fundraising cost of $621,112. This represents approximately $2.59 raised for every $1 invested in fundraising over the 12-month period. These figures exclude the annual grant received from the CODE Foundation and any legacy gifts.
As part of our individual donor acquisition program, CODE works with professional fundraising businesses, including Globalfaces Direct Inc. for telephone fundraising and Giveroo for face-to-face fundraising. CODE compensates these businesses under contracted fee arrangements. Fundraisers engaged by these businesses are paid an hourly rate by the fundraising businesses rather than by CODE. Contracting of fundraising businesses is executed in compliance with CODE’s Board-approved Procurement Policy.
