73rd CCS Annual Appeal - Donate Today!

Columbia Community Service (CCS) seeks to foster just and thriving communities by advancing the work of community-based organizations. An initiative of the Office of Government and Community Affairs, CCS has engaged the University community to address inequitable conditions in Morningside Heights and Harlem. Since 1945, CCS has led an annual appeal campaign among employees at Columbia, Barnard College and Teachers College with 100% of the donations used to fund grants for nonprofit institutions experienced in building sustainable programs. The administrative costs of CCS are covered by Columbia, Barnard College and Teachers College.
