Goals & Strategy

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Learn about the organization's key goals, strategies, capabilities, and progress.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

To positively impact the community through a three part focus on Education, Income and Health.

Education Goals - increase early literacy preparedness and improve high school graduation rates. Nonprofit training and development is also a priority for the development of our nonprofit professionals.
Income Goals -temporary assistance for financial stability and workforce readiness
Health Goals - increase availability of therapy, services and educational services and promote healthy life styles

Community Investment Grants require logic models to show the details of each program as well as the measurable outcomes of success. CIG applications are program based with each program linking back tot he three focus areas of Education, Income and Health. By using the application as a tool we are stabilizing the environment with a level foundation that relates to our goals and mission.

Through our network of partners and Community Investment Grant Programs our capabilities are great. We extend our direct reach with the 22 agencies offering 35 programs that all link to our Education, Income and Health core focuses. Our donor and industrial relationships allow us to invest funds and resources into the community while keeping a low administration cost. The corporate donations allow us to commit 100% of each individual donors dollar into programs.

Through CIG Partner Programs we are reaching thousands of individuals and families each year with a wide range of services not possible through one agency.

As investors we are making decisions based on solid information and review. Our progress has been felt by agencies, programs, benefactors of services, and donors.

Our transition from traditional fundraising and allocation based programming to our current Community Impact Model has allowed us to take proactive view at issues and respond accordingly with funding decisions. We continue to move forward toward reaching our goals while knowing we may never end hunger but with our three part focus we may end hunger for an individual or family.

Data
  • We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
  • We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
  • We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
  • We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
  • We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
  • We disaggregate data by demographics, including race, in every policy and program measured.
  • We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
Policies and processes
  • We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
  • We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
  • We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
  • We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
  • We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
  • We measure and then disaggregate job satisfaction and retention data by race, function, level, and/or team.
  • We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
