CCS Fundraising Executive Reshuffle Eases Nonprofit Partnerships for Homebuilders like Century Communities

Fundraising leadership shift may ease community partnerships for homebuilders

Century Communities and other homebuilders see a potential benefit from CCS Fundraising’s executive reshuffle as the firm tightens regional advisory capacity for nonprofit capital work. CCS is formalizing executive roles and elevating regional leaders to improve day‑to‑day execution and deliver more consistent counsel on campaigns, donor cultivation and capital planning. For builders that routinely partner with local nonprofits on community amenities, affordable housing initiatives and philanthropic land‑use agreements, deeper, regionally grounded fundraising expertise can make complex public‑private projects easier to structure and finance.

The change places a newly created chief operating role at the center of firmwide coordination, which is likely to matter to developers managing multiple community stakeholders across different markets. Homebuilders such as Century Communities frequently navigate municipal negotiations, nonprofit service providers and donor networks when dedicating land, funding community centers or supporting housing trusts. CCS’s emphasis on clearer executive roles and cross‑regional collaboration is poised to reduce friction in those processes by offering more predictable, locally informed fundraising strategies that align with builders’ development timetables.

Greater consistency in nonprofit advisory work also helps homebuilders justify community investments to lenders, local governments and buyers. When fundraising counsel can produce repeatable playbooks for capital campaigns and philanthropic strategy, developer partners gain clearer risk assessments and timelines for community amenities tied to new subdivisions or mixed‑use projects. That predictability supports Century Communities’ broader aims of integrating community benefits into projects while coordinating donor engagement and corporate giving under compressed construction schedules.

Regional leadership appointments

CCS names Peter Hoskow as president and chief operating officer to manage firmwide execution while Jon Kane remains chief executive. The firm also appoints four managing partners to lead regional teams: Greg Hagin, Atlantic (Philadelphia); Sarah Krasin, West (Los Angeles); Eric Javier, Northeast and Europe (New York); and Lindsay Marciniak, Central (Chicago).

Institutionalizing best practices across markets

CCS frames the moves as part of a strategy to deepen regional bench strength and institutionalize best practices across its U.S. and European offices, aiming to accelerate service consistency, cross‑regional collaboration and long‑term sector impact on complex campaigns and philanthropic strategy.
