We're building on our principles of community engagement by sharing a practical way funders can respond to local voices in the grantmaking process- external review committees made up of community members. Erica Weinberg and Annie Zhou explore learnings from their experience partnering with a healthcare funder to establish seven community review committees. These 24 committee members evaluated 300 funding proposals, helping direct $18 million toward projects with the greatest potential for impact.

?? Our latest issue of Viewpoints is out! With a new presidential administration on its way, changes are on the horizon for the social sector, especially for communities central to philanthropic efforts. The need for new funding approaches has never been more urgent, and as we work to tackle systemic issues, we must stay focused on listening to these communities and empowering them to drive lasting change. From inclusive healthcare initiatives to progressive grantmaking strategies, we're sharing how prioritizing community wisdom is creating sustainable impact that truly meets the needs of those it serves. #Philanthropy #SocialImpact #CommunityEngagement #InnovativeGiving https://loom.ly/AlJQDD8

We're back from a whirlwind few days at Exponent Philanthropy's Annual Conference and feeling energized by all the great conversations we were a part of! Some highlights: ?? Hearing powerful, real-life examples of how large unrestricted grants enabled investment in organizational strategy?and staff wellbeing to ultimately better serve the community from Joycelyn Jurado at St. David's Foundation and Sharon Vigil of Communities In Schools of Central Texas. ?? Eagerly anticipating Center for Effective Philanthropy's upcoming report on ?“The MacKenzie Scott Effect". ?? Attending a dine-around hosted by Patty McIlreavy of the Center for Disaster Philanthropy where we discussed how everyone could be a disaster philanthropist by helping communities and people in disaster-prone areas build back better – or build better. We're leaving with fresh perspectives and new connections, and looking forward to keeping the learning going.

Communication is king- so why do communications professionals often feel siloed within their organizations? At TCC Group, we know that to maximize impact, communications must be integrated at every stage. We spoke with ten comms leaders to understand best strategies for optimizing integration - like embedding comms in ops teams and co-creating comm plans. We're excited to share some key lessons (featured at The Communications Network's #ComNet24), and stay tuned for the full report! #CommunicationsIntegration #StrategicCommunications #CommunicationsProfessionals https://loom.ly/Og_Z670

With a new administration entering the White House in January, philanthropy is approaching a crucial crossroads. That is why we feel privileged to have TCC-er Jared Raynor at the Grantmakers In Health Policy Exchange 2024, sharing insights with colleagues about the work that needs to be done right now and moving forward.? Some highlights from Day One: ?? Listening to J. Nadine Gracia from Trust for America's Health discuss a blueprint for strengthening public health, which outlines six priorities for the next administration. As an #evaluator, the final priority of protecting scientific integrity resonates especially strongly. ?? The reminder by Adriane Casalotti, Chief of Government and Public Affairs at NACCHO of the necessity of philanthropy’s voice in protecting public health agency authority from being stripped away and responding to crises. ?? "Philanthropy can bring people together that would never otherwise sit at a table together" Irfan Hasan of The New York Community Trust. ?? It's not just policy, but how we communicate it- David Jordan, President of the United Methodist Health Ministry Fund advised that one of the most important things to think about is not simply the message, but where we deliver it. Looking forward to seeing what Day Two brings! #PublicHealth #Evaluation #Philanthropy #StrategicCommunications?
