Foundations have a powerful role to play in today’s complex world. With their resources, networks, and knowledge, they advance change through grant dollars, shared learning, building capacity, and more. Foundations achieve the greatest impact when they partner with others, using a range of tools.
We work with foundations of all shapes and sizes—private, family, community, and corporate—on the local, regional, national, and global levels. As former foundation presidents, directors, and program officers, we bring practical knowledge to engagements spanning strategy development, capacity building, evaluation and learning, funder collaboration, and foundation management.
TCC Group has the specialized knowledge and capacities you need to get exactly the right level of service and support including:
- Grant program development focused on goals
- Grantmaking strategy focused on making a difference
- Grant program implementation and management focused on impact
- Grant program evaluation focused on learning
- Foundation management focused on your needs
We Help Foundations:
- Develop strategy to advance your mission, vision, and values. Refine your theory of change and assessment for shared learning with grantees.
- Work effectively with other foundations. Map the landscape of key stakeholders and build collaborative efforts.
- Manage foundations efficiently through effective grantmaking and strong governance practices.
- Gather quantitative and qualitative data to inform the development of new initiatives and understand how you can best support your grantees.
- Evaluate the impact of your work for an individual portfolio or your foundation overall.
- Build capacity of organizations, networks, and alliances so that groups you support can sustain their efforts over time.
“It’s clear when you work with TCC Group that they are not afraid to speak truth to power. They’re not just going to feed back what you want to hear, which is what many of the management consulting firms do. You get real honest feedback – the good, the bad, and the ugly.”
Nancy MacPherson, Former Managing Director, Evaluation, The Rockefeller Foundation (2008-17 tenure | Quoted on 6.27.18)
