Organizational start-up and nonprofit status
Launching an effective new or redefined organization demands both strategic thinking and prior experience. TCR utilizes its experiences to help you turn your vision into a viable nonprofit entity. Whether drafting a business plan or by-laws, establishing core principles, evaluating your potential "competition," or advising on the exacting process of the 1023 (IRS 501(c)(3) application), TCR offers a comprehensive package, first assessing where you stand and then helping you move toward your goal of nonprofit status in the most timely and cost effective manner.

Professional services and recruitment
Your organization's potential evolves from the skills, experience, and integrity of your team. TCR can assist you in identifying and evaluating the best human resources for your growing organization.

Fundraising
Many smaller organizations miss opportunities due to a lack of grant and proposal writers on staff. TCR can offer you significant savings in overhead by providing these services on an as-needed basis and by helping to train for the future.

Access to Government resources
Many nonprofit organizations receive the bulk of their funding from government agencies, but this is only possible because they know where and how to look for such resources. TCR will help your organization register with the government agency that offers funding in your arena and brief you on emerging opportunities that correspond with your mission criteria.

Building partnerships
Increasingly, two critical elements in nonprofit growth are identifying and collaborating with other nonprofits with similar or complementary objectives. TCR can assist in this process by using its extensive knowledge and contacts in the nonprofit arena, facilitating partnerships and enabling your organization to leverage the strengths of new partners in order to expand the impact of your mission. Cooperative activities might include joining with other organizations in a single proposal to a donor; common administrative or recruting activities; exchanging experience with donor reporting; joint evaluations of programs, and sharing planning and strategy experience.
