Community Foundations & Civic Networks
Community foundations, United Ways, 211 networks, and collective-impact backbones, organizations defined by a place. Route the next grant cycle to the census tract nobody's covering instead of the one everyone already knows.
We Build Models forCommunity Networks
To Route Resources (Capital, Partnerships, & Information) more Efficiently
Map the Network
- 990 Schedule I grant histories
- 211 resource databases
- United Way partner rosters
- Backbone MOUs and steering committees
- Board overlap from 990 Part VII
Find the Gaps
- Tracts with no funded org
- Two backbones, one program
- Grantees funded three times
- Orgs 211 knows and no funder does
- The map that leaves with the program officer
Close the Gaps
- Route the next cycle to the hole
- Show the board who else committed
- Merge the duplicate table
- Stand up a backbone where none exists
- 1Siloed information — grants system, 211 database and coalition rosters never join
- 2Complexity exceeds bandwidth — one program officer holding 400 orgs in their head
- 3Incentives reward fragmentation — every funder wants its own portal and report
- 4Trust doesn't scale — the network is personal, so it dies with the relationship
- 5Self-oriented entities — each org optimizes its own grant, not the county's coverage
