Our founding story
01

The world before

Charities fight for attention in feeds, mailers, and spots — but unlike businesses, they have no storefront where a stranger can walk in and become a believer. The industry's answer was face-to-face: street teams and canvassers sent into the field to have the conversations a shop window never could.

It only worked halfway. Agencies delivered donors and stopped there. Charities needed a partner, not a vendor.

Why we built CBI

We built CBI to be that partner. Rather than relying on agencies to supply people for a season, we train our own teams from the ground up and develop them into leaders capable of running entire markets, people who understand the mission well enough to represent it properly, and who grow alongside the charities they work for rather than moving on once the campaign ends.

03

Where we are today

That approach is the reason we now have a waitlist of charities asking us to launch in their markets. We're not chasing growth so much as being pulled into it, one proven partnership at a time.

A note from our founder
Michael Wang, Founder of CBI
“We didn't set out to build another agency, we set out to build a true partner for the charities we serve, and a real place to grow for the people who work here. That's the standard we hold ourselves to every day, and it's the same standard that will guide where we go next: more markets, more leaders developed from within, and more impact for the causes that matter most.”

— Michael Wang, Founder

The values we practise
Value 01

Always be….studying.

The people here read on the bus, take notes, and treat fundraising as a craft that can always be practised better. Improvement isn't an event; it's the culture. It's also the reason charities of serious size trust us, we don't claim excellence, we show the homework. These skills are in every part of our company from field to founder.
