TFA Strategic Articulation & Fund Development Strategy

In order to gather the requisite intel to inform the fund development plan, a landscape analysis of 9 similarly situated alliances, 5 key stakeholder interviews, and a literature review was conducted. Hummingbird Firm was challenged to encourage broad participation from TFA’s diverse membership. At the start of the strategic planning process, Hummingbird Firm asked TFA members to share what they were most proud of regarding TFA and what made the organization unique. Hummingbird Firm used these findings to highlight the strengths of the organization. The full video can be seen here: https://www. tribute.co/transformation-alliance/

“We are very proud of the fact that we’ve been able to build trust within the community and our target areas and neighborhoods”

Hummingbird Firm also designed and facilitated three in-person meetings with an average of 24 participants at each meeting. These meetings took place on: 1. May 30, 2019 - The purpose of the first meeting was to set the foundational stage for which the strategic plan would be built. TFA members participated in a range of exercises that resulted in a thorough needs assessment of the organization. 2. June 26, 2018 - The second meeting was squarely focused on gathering data to inform the strategic articulation map and gave old and new members an opportunity to revisit the work that they had accomplished thus far and re-imagine a transformational future. 3. September 18, 2019 - The final in-person meeting was conducted focus group style, members were divided into vision areas and brainstormed ideas for the think big, start small, grow together portions of the strategic articulation map.

We were proud to support many westside neighborhood black-owned businesses. See logos below:
