Community Centric Development (CCD) was established in 2023 as a partnership between Karen Wainscott and Kandice Kramer to combine forces after years of individual grant-writing across all three sectors. CCD bills on a per project basis depending on the size, length, and source of a grant as well as the estimated hours required to complete the project.

Karen Wainscott is a development professional who began her career in large-scale concert promotion in Virginia. She holds a post-baccalaureate certificate in Nonprofit Management from Virginia Commonwealth University. Karen has worked for businesses and organizations across all sectors specializing in fund development, full cycle grant management, sales, marketing, communications, and strategic planning.
