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.

Your Success is Our Mission
How Can We Assist?

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.

For Our Community:

Community Projects & Focus Areas

TCN’s community projects promote collaboration and aim to make a positive impact by identifying gaps and emerging needs in the community. We work on a range of initiatives, from short-term to long-term, to address immediate needs and bring about systemic change. Projects are chosen based on community needs and executed with the help of our partners.

TCN Committees

TriCounty Community Network’s most important community contribution are the tireless problem solving of the organization’s committees. TCN committees are comprised of nonprofit organizations, businesses and individuals that have interest in a specific community issue.  Most of TCN’s committee meetings are held immediately following the organizations general monthly meeting, providing a convenient way for members and meeting attendees to get involved in committee work. Committee work requires a commitment of about 1-3 hours per month for 10 months. So, for 13 hours per year you could make a big impact on community needs in our area!
