Charting impact

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

Increase impact through larger grants to nonprofits, more service days for volunteers to serve in the community, and add programming in the form of TRF Camp Build.
Improve fund development by increasing revenues from our golf tournament, increasing sustaining contributors, add annual sponsors and build a model regarding local fundraising.
Streamline operations through delegation to committees and adding marketing support.
Improve public relations internally and externally.
Increase stakeholder participation.

We fund nonprofits working to end hunger, improve mental and physical health, obtain gender equality. Through TRF Camp Build, we will be feeding campers healthy breakfast and lunches, encourage hydration and safety, and stimulating creativity through building. We plan to accept an equal number of boys, girls, and nonbinary campers.

Through annual grants and TRF Camp Build as described above. We are starting camps in Gallatin, TN; Tempe, AZ; Austin, TX; Sherman, TX; and Anaheim, CA with the goal of adding 3 new cities annually.

Build committees and recruited partners to conduct camp.

How we listen

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Seeking feedback from people served makes programs more responsive and effective. Here’s how this organization is listening.

done We demonstrated a willingness to learn more by reviewing resources about feedback practice.
done We shared information about our current feedback practices.

  • Who are the people you serve with your mission?

    Volunteers and nonprofit organizations that receive grants.

  • How is your organization collecting feedback from the people you serve?

    Electronic surveys (by email, tablet, etc.), Focus groups or interviews (by phone or in person), Community meetings/Town halls, Suggestion box/email,

  • How is your organization using feedback from the people you serve?

    To identify and remedy poor client service experiences, To identify bright spots and enhance positive service experiences, To make fundamental changes to our programs and/or operations, To inform the development of new programs/projects, To identify where we are less inclusive or equitable across demographic groups, To strengthen relationships with the people we serve, To understand people's needs and how we can help them achieve their goals,

  • What significant change resulted from feedback?

    Adjusted volunteer activity to Friday afternoon despite leadership wanting the activity to take place on a Saturday so working parents could volunteer without interfering with their children's activities. Expanded volunteer activities to week long rather than single day to provide local flexibility for volunteer preference in time/location of volunteer activity. Adjusted from 2 annual grant cycles to 1 to ensure equity for grant giving based on complete pool rather than limited applicant pool. 2nd grant cycle received considerably more applications than first grant cycle so similarly situated nonprofits did not receive the same level of support, by adjusting to 1 annual grant cycle hopefully all will be judged on a level playing field.

  • With whom is the organization sharing feedback?

    Our staff, Our board, Our funders, Our community partners,

  • How has asking for feedback from the people you serve changed your relationship?

    Got them engaged and bought in.

  • Which of the following feedback practices does your organization routinely carry out?

    We collect feedback from the people we serve at least annually, We take steps to get feedback from marginalized or under-represented people, We aim to collect feedback from as many people we serve as possible, We take steps to ensure people feel comfortable being honest with us, We look for patterns in feedback based on demographics (e.g., race, age, gender, etc.), We look for patterns in feedback based on people’s interactions with us (e.g., site, frequency of service, etc.), We engage the people who provide feedback in looking for ways we can improve in response, We act on the feedback we receive, We tell the people who gave us feedback how we acted on their feedback,

  • What challenges does the organization face when collecting feedback?

    It is difficult to get the people we serve to respond to requests for feedback, It is difficult to identify actionable feedback,
