Who created Community Shares USA?

Community Shares USA was created by locally based social justice workplace fundraising federations in order to provide employees of national corporations the means to support locally-based service and social justice organizations. Each member federation represents numerous local and regional charities. These federations were created by their member charities for the purpose of raising awareness and financial support through workplace fundraising campaigns.
