Faith Coalition for the Common Good

What Faith Coalition for the Common Good does

Faith Coalition for the Common Good (FCCG) is a Springfield, Illinois-based nonprofit community organizing coalition founded in 2009 with 12 employees. The organization convenes a multi-faith base of congregations, religious alliances, unions, and community advocacy groups around shared commitments to racial equity, economic justice, civic engagement, and participatory decision-making. Members include churches, mosques, a Methodist congregation, Presbyterian, Unitarian Universalist, Islamic, and Baptist institutions, alongside the Springfield Education Association and the NTOSAKE Ministerial Alliance.

FCCG operates through eight active taskforces: Economic Equity, Transformational Justice, Environmental Justice, Education Equity, Housing Equity (Springfield Safe Homes), the Good Trouble Union Table, the Ntosake women's leadership program, and the UIS Student Impact Coalition. The product surface is community organizing services — organizing trainings, canvassing, petition drives, leadership development workshops, regional convenings, and an annual gala — rather than a technology platform. Revenues are generated through annual Organizational Membership dues, Individual/Family Memberships, donations, and fundraising events. Distribution is regional across Illinois and Central Illinois via member organizations, direct community engagement, a website (faithcoalition-il.org), email newsletters, social media, and organized events. Governance is exercised through a board populated by designated representatives from member congregations and organizations, with an Executive Director running day-to-day operations and a clergy leader serving as President.
