In 2008, NUL partnered with CCS Fundraising to create Project Rock (PR). For 10 years, Project Rock served as an individual evaluation and fundraising planning process for a select group of Affiliates. Now, PR is a free service for all ninety Affiliates that provides them with opportunities to build fund capacity, diversify funding streams, and increase knowledge of Fundraising best practices.

This dynamic program offers bi-weekly webinars on fundraising topics, includes a hotline to receive real-time counsel, provides a Toolkit with over sixty editable templates and provides a bi-weekly Activism Fundraising Newsletter. Additionally, the Project Rock director is available to work with individual Affiliates who request personal support for their fundraising needs.
