Success in solving complex social problems frequently hinges on the work of organizations that harmonize the action of myriad actors—often referred to as field catalysts, systems orchestrators, or coalitions. Yet philanthropy too often overlooks them, as they defy traditional due-diligence criteria. Breaking through will require philanthropy to reboot how it engages with these pivotal entities as critical catalysts and leaders of systems change.

Considering trends of religious disaffiliation in the United States, you might be surprised to learn that faith-based organizations deliver 40 percent of vital human services across six representative cities. Indeed, faith-inspired impact remains a bulwark of support in the country—and the differential importance of faith in Black, Latinx, and other marginalized communities might offer opportunities for social sector actors to raise their impact where it matters most.

As a nonprofit leader, having a clear and effective strategy can help you make the best decisions to achieve impact for your organization’s community. But developing a clear strategy can be a long process, full of difficult tradeoffs.
You can smooth the path to strategic clarity by starting with a defined intended impact and theory of change (II/TOC). Together, these two powerful concepts can help your organization refine the goals it commits to achieve and map the road for how to accomplish them.
In this free webinar, you’ll:
- Think through how II/TOC builds a strong foundation for an effective strategy
- Hear about how other nonprofit leaders approached this challenge
- Learn to use a simple but powerful II/TOC toolkit to start this work for your organization
