WELCOME TO C+C FUNDRAISING
At C+C Fundraising, we truly make fundraising fun for schools and programs. Our goal is to create an exciting and engaging experience that motivates students while helping organizations reach their financial goals. We know traditional fundraisers can feel outdated and repetitive, which is why we are committed to modernizing the fundraising experience.
Fundraising should be an important and impactful part of every school community, and we believe success comes from innovation, energy, and meaningful engagement.
Our mission at C+C Fundraising is to help schools and programs achieve their specific funding goals by clearly communicating their needs to supporters in a way that is authentic, transparent, and inspiring. We make it easy for families and supporters to contribute toward causes they truly believe in.
We believe the most successful fundraisers are built around purpose and connection. By focusing on clear communication and school pride, we create stronger support while also promoting a more eco-friendly approach with less paper, less clutter, and a simpler overall process. Less really is more.
Technology plays a major role in the way we approach modern fundraising. The products and programs we offer are designed for efficiency and simplicity. Most of our fundraisers are direct-sell programs — meaning no order forms, no sorting, no complicated deliveries, and far fewer headaches for schools and volunteers.
At the end of the day, our mission is simple: make fundraising easier, more effective, and fun for everyone involved.
CHRISTIAN SANTANA
Christian Santana, Founder & President
Born and raised in Miami, Christian Santana has dedicated his life to serving youth, schools, and communities throughout South Florida. From his involvement in high school activities and church youth groups to leadership roles within organizations across the Archdiocese of Miami, Christian developed an early passion for helping young people grow, succeed, and reach their full potential.
While attending the University of Florida, Christian joined The Southwestern Company, where he spent his summers traveling across the country selling educational resources door-to-door. Working more than 80 hours a week, he learned invaluable lessons in leadership, perseverance, communication, and service. Most importantly, he discovered a passion for helping children and families enhance their educational experience.
After graduating from the University of Florida in 2003, Christian began his career with Great American Opportunities, a leading school fundraising company. Over the next 15 years, he worked alongside some of the most respected professionals in the fundraising industry, learning the strategies and best practices behind successful fundraising programs. During that time, he helped schools throughout South Florida raise more than $5 million in profits, building lasting relationships with educators, administrators, parents, and community leaders.
In 2019, Christian saw an opportunity to create something different. He partnered with a longtime friend and former educator to launch C+C Fundraising with a simple mission: to truly understand the unique needs of schools, teachers, parents, and students and provide fundraising solutions that are effective, transparent, and enjoyable for everyone involved.
Today, Christian remains committed to helping organizations achieve their goals through innovative fundraising programs, exceptional customer service, and creative solutions tailored to each group’s specific needs. His greatest reward is seeing schools, teams, and organizations succeed while creating positive experiences for the students and families they serve.
