Community Needs & Focus Areas

We don’t just talk about change – we actively work to make it a reality. Whether it’s addressing immediate needs or working towards long-term systemic change, we’re committed to building a community we can all be proud of.

We Are A Growth Engine

Rather than focus solely on the creation of new nonprofits that may duplicate effort, we help build the capacity of existing nonprofits.



We Are A Convener

We identify needs as the emerge and bring nonprofits and other community partners together to collaborate and solve problems.



We Are A Catalyst

In addition to identifying problems and related solutions, TCN finds the resources that partners need to turn ideas into action.

Community Support

We bring the right people together to address issues that have a profound impact on the community. These issues are all interrelated and can reinforce one another. By tackling them together, our communities can create a better quality of life for all.
