Build, activate, and evaluate efforts to advance health for all

As our understanding of health and its social determinants continues to expand, there is a case for viewing health not merely as a goal or an ideal but as a universal and inalienable human right, central to every aspect of social and economic equity.

Many of our public- and private-sector partners recognize this broader definition and address their efforts toward key social determinants of health—such as how racial and economic disparities, the stigma of certain illnesses, and barriers to adequate housing and education undermine health care quality, access, and outcomes for certain populations.

We collaborate in developing innovative tools, strategies, materials, and change initiatives, all based on comprehensive data and aimed at meaningfully reducing inequities.

How We Can Help

Strategy

Sound strategy is grounded in a deep understanding of your core purpose, capacity to achieve change, and collaborative relationships with others. From diverse perspectives on your health work, we help you clarify your mission, vision, and values—then we collaboratively chart the course to realize your goals.

Evaluation & Learning

We’re often engaged to evaluate health-related work. All our evaluation services take a customized approach—using a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods—to harness evaluation and learning for your diverse stakeholders. We provide actionable insights and build internal capacity to carry on learning efforts.

Capacity Building

Along with strong leadership, sound management, effective tools, adaptability, and a values-driven culture, accomplishing your goals takes collaborative muscle. We help you identify your strengths and opportunities for growth to determine how you can best partner with others addressing the social determinants of health to achieve your shared aims.

Grantmaking & Foundation Management

We work with health-focused funders on a wide variety of giving programs. Our experienced staff members design, develop, implement, and manage grantmaking efforts. We help you administer grants efficiently, communicate with grantees and grantseekers, and align your grantmaking with other funder objectives.

Initiative Design & Implementation

Tackling complex issues in health demands integrated action, informed by deep listening, intentional engagement, critical analysis, and bold approaches. To help you achieve your goals for lasting impact, we design integrated initiatives: strategic endeavors that meaningfully choreograph multiple program components and are responsive to community needs.

Stakeholder Engagement

Relationships are essential for impact. We help you build authentic, expansive, and productive relationships with the stakeholders critical to your work in the health sphere. We begin with stakeholder mapping, plan your strategy for engagement, identify the touchpoints for ongoing and fruitful partnership, and bolster feedback loops.

Strategic Communication

At all stages of work—designing a complex initiative, embarking on an organizational change in direction, or creating a suite of materials—strategic communication is essential. We create communication plans that make your voice heard, identifying your messages, messengers, audiences, and channels.

Governance

An engaged and effective board helps ensure you’re achieving your mission. We work with health organizations of all sizes, helping define the role of the board and advising on issues of its composition, structure, tenure, performance, and sustainability.

Theory of Change, Indicators & Measures Development

Surface the hypotheses and assumptions underpinning your work. How will you get from here to your goals? We lay out the steps by which your work will lead to impact. Articulating a Theory of Change and indicators of success are essential to establishing a shared vision for priorities, evaluation, partnerships, and resources.

Landscape Analysis

We have deep experience with organizations working in the health field. We map the key players, relationships, and trends essential for your unique mission. We collect data and connect you to the perspectives of diverse actors—including those most impacted within the community. We help you find the most effective ways you can make a difference.

“TCC develops innovative work by integrating science, epidemiology, sociology, communication, marketing, art technology, and humanity to transform individuals, healthcare programs, and communities. This work represents disruptive innovation in the fields of HIV and chronic illness.”

Ligia Peralta, MD, Sloan Fellow on Innovation and Global Leadership, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

“Whether you are a large nonprofit or small nonprofit system, evaluation oftentimes gets put to the back burner as there aren’t resources allocated to it. TCC Group’s framework set us up to be a leader in the public health and health equity community while leveraging the expertise of others in the space.”

Cody McSellers-McCray, Regional Director of Community Health, Presence Health

“TCC Group didn’t just stop with the particular task at hand. They gave me access to literature, latest reports from partners working on similar issues, and linked us up with other players in the health network, so we felt that we were gaining access to knowledge that we didn’t even know existed.”
