In a separate project, TCC was also retained to study the role of Alban's membership program in the life of congregational leaders. TCC Group has continued to work with Alban in implementing its business plan and strengthening its consulting practice.

TCC was engaged by NPower to conduct a three year field-level study to document the provision of technology assistance to nonprofits; identify the strategies used to measure nonprofit's readiness for such a assistance; better understand best practices relative to the service delivery strategies employed by providers; as well as to measure nonprofit outcomes in terms of organizational effectiveness and mission achievement.
