Assessing the Potential of a Community Education Organization in Hartford, CT
The Challenge
The MetroHartford Alliance (MHA) asked Collaborative to assess the future potential of a local education fund (LEF) in Hartford, CT, and to help the Alliance solidify the establishment of the LEF.
Our Approach
Collaborative assisted with the research and discovery process, benchmarking of comparable LEFs, design and facilitation of the Hartford Education Collaborative’s meetings, and developed an initial business plan for the potential LEF.
Our Impact
Collaborative’s efforts have resulted in the development of a strategic plan for the local LEF, which the firm continues to support with guidance. We also created a Web site to help decision makers build understanding of local and national issues relevant to the future of education in Hartford and the role(s) such an organization might play in the community, with the school system and in relation to other existing nonprofits.
MHA also asked Collaborative to provide its Leadership Recruitment Services to help lead a national search for the executive director of the new LEF to ensure the organization begins strongly in its efforts to improve civic engagement in Hartford.
