The Strategy
Launching the Alliance
As we launch this alliance for Foster Care and Adoption in the Tampa Bay area, we will begin a process of listening to local partner agencies in order to uncover the key metric(s) that the alliance can address, and set a total goal. Stretching us to think about eradication and/or total coverage.
Once identified, a cross organizational advisory council of experts will convene to work on an agreed course of action that could conceivably reach that goal. This plan will then be broken down into phases and requests for proposals (RFP) released for each corresponding phase of the plan.
In turn, funders would back both the phases of the plan and the work of collaboration contributing not just financial investment but expertise as they manage the Donor Advised Fund (DAF) allocating funding to the best possible execution of the plan.
Because the alliance is not an organization, but a funding mechanism to support both the cause and the collective impact of collaboration, every reputable and interested party can do their part and significant change is possible.
We are in the process of formalizing the Advisory Board and Executive Committee who will then announce the phased strategy addressing the biggest needs in the foster care & adoption sphere in Tampa Bay.
