Our Services Organizational Strengthening & Capacity Building Partnering with funders and nonprofit organizations to build and strengthen the skills, strategies, capacities, and systems necessary to achieve sustainable impact. Organizational capacity is fundamental to successfully implementing and achieving strategic goals. With strong leadership, adaptability, effective management, and technical expertise, even the most ambitious strategies can thrive under pressure. By proactively addressing capacity gaps, process bottlenecks, resource constraints, and misaligned structures, organizations can mitigate risks, adapt to uncertainty, and position themselves for sustained success—ultimately strengthening their ability to serve their communities and advance their mission. TCC Group approaches organizational strengthening as a dynamic, holistic process—not a preconceived checklist of trainings or plans. We foster open, informed, and collaborative conversations that help organizations identify and prioritize what truly matters—both internally and across the communities they serve. Our suite of self-assessment tools—including the Core Capacity Assessment Tool (CCAT®), Foundation Core Capacity Assessment Tool (FCCAT), Relational Capacity Assessment Tool (RCAT), Advocacy Core Capacity Assessment Tool (Advocacy CCAT), and Values-Based Communication Diagnostic—illuminate the priority areas for attention by giving you direct insight into your capacities. We use these findings to work together to build practical, lasting solutions that reflect your values and set you up for sustained impact.

Δ Our Partners Include: Our Tailored Approach Delivers: Capacity Building Priority IdentificationBuilding a strong foundation for organizational success begins with assessing core capacities, including leadership, adaptability, management, technical efficiency, and organizational culture. By facilitating a shared understanding of priorities, organizations can align around key areas for growth. Drawing on lessons from our decades of experience across the social sector, we share insights that help organizations interpret findings and navigate their path forward. The result is a clear, actionable plan that deepens core capacities and supports the organization’s ability to thrive over time. Staff Capacity EnhancementWe assess staff assets, interests, and growth potential to design thoughtful organizational structures that create clarity, foster collaboration, and ensure staff have the guidance and support they need to succeed in their roles. To support long-term success, we assist in developing a range of capacity-building plans, including executive coaching for new leaders, customized workshops tailored to essential needs, and other forms of specific technical assistance. We also help identify a range of capacity solutions—such as fellowships, contract staff, and subject matter experts—to address gaps and bolster your team’s capabilities. Board Capacity StrengtheningWe collaborate with your board to enhance its overall effectiveness and ensure it is well-positioned to support your organization’s mission and growth. Whether a board requires training, retreat facilitation, recruitment and onboarding support, or other forms of targeted assistance, we partner with you to foster a deep understanding of board roles and responsibilities. Change ManagementOur hands-on approach to change management ensures organizations are responsive to their environments and equipped to evolve with purpose and precision. We work closely with senior leaders and boards to navigate complexity, offering tailored guidance and practical tools to manage evolving circumstances effectively and lay the foundation for resilience and readiness. During periods of significant transition, we provide stabilizing support—from crisis management to interim leadership—helping organizations move forward with clarity and confidence. Resource Library TCC Group's Core Capacity Assessment Tool (CCAT®) View the Resource “The work that TCC did with the Wiregrass Foundation was nothing short of transformational. But had it not been for the structure and expertise provided by you and TCC Group, I seriously doubt many of the organizations would have developed to current levels. In fact, some would not have made it through COVID.”Dr. Barbara Alford, President, Wiregrass Foundation“The reason we keep coming back to TCC Group? The work speaks for itself. It’s unbiased and very customized. They design their trainings based on the CCAT and each organization’s needs; they don’t push their own agenda.”Elina Alterman, Program Officer, Kansas Health Foundation
