Webinar - Creating Effective Advocacy Coalitions

While many people participating in
coalitions have  intuitive approaches, this webinar provides a framework
and language that will enable more substantive methods for improving and
measuring coalition impact. Through our 30
years of experience, TCC has developed a powerful model for describing
and understanding what makes an advocacy organization truly effective. TCC Senior Consultant Jared Raynor and Rev. Patricia Watkins from TARGET Area DevCorp will

The Increasing Importance of Employee Involvement
by Thomas Knowlton, Vice President
As companies recognize the
value of employee involvement programs, and statistics show an increasing shift
toward non-cash contributions, employee volunteerism has become the fastest growing
corporate citizenship program in the country. With the increasing demand from
new employees (nearly two-thirds of Gen Y prefer to work for an organization
that provides opportunities to volunteer their skills), TCC is helping
companies of all sizes and in every industry to develop a range of programs to
engage their employees in giving back to society. Read more here. |

What's Next for Strategic Planning?
Some nonprofit leaders argue that strategic planning is on its last
legs. However, in the latest issue of the Philadelphia Social Innovations Journal, TCC Group Vice President Shelly Kessler says planning is far from obsolete. A strong argument can
be made for nonprofits committing to real strategic assessment of their
opportunities based on the best available evidence, and making decisions
accordingly. These organizations are much more likely to keep going
during difficult times and, moreover, have the tools to take their
efforts to scale.

Free Webinar - Effective Family Foundations
June 2, 2010
1 - 2pm Eastern
Developing and actively
using a grantmaking  strategy helps foundations have greater impact,
enabling them to channel their resources to better address social
problems. Yet many family foundations lack a cohesive strategy, instead
basing their philanthropy on the individual interests of trustees. All
too often this results in scattershot grantmaking and a divisive
experience for foundation leaders. Many families have learned that
strategic giving not only increases their effectiveness as
philanthropists, but also provides a more engaging experience for the
board. TCC Senior
Consultant and family foundation trustee Ashley Blanchard will examine how and why family foundations can become
more focused in their grantmaking. Emily Tow Jackson will discuss the influence
strategic giving has had on her board and the Tow Foundation's overall
impact. This webinar is designed for both foundation staff and
trustees interested in moving to the next level of strategic
philanthropy. Participants will gain a clear understanding of the
benefits and challenges of strategic family philanthropy and the tools
needed to help their foundations through the transition.
