TCMA planned to hire a full-time Development Associate to help TCMA build organizational, programming and operational capacity. Ultimately, we hired a part-time Development Coordinator as an independent contractor due to the ED?s limited capacity to oversee a full-time associate while also running TCMA?s Our Space Is Spoken For program. Evaluation methods used remained the same from our original proposal?conversations with leaders, a work plan and observation. We accomplished the goal of building TCMA?s capacity. TCMA now has a development system on AirTable housing grant calendars, tracking and setting fundraising goals, prospecting efforts, and grant compliance. In collaboration with the ED, the Coordinator wrote, edited grant proposals, and determined timelines, evaluations, and data needed for grant reports. This increase in capacity allows TCMA to better serve our stakeholders by enabling us to plan for short and long-term funding opportunities to sustain and scale our work.
