Lake County Legacy Foundation, Neighborhood Spotlight Intent to Respond and Contact Information Form |
Dear Potential Partners and Leaders in Community Change:
The Legacy Foundation is seeking partners to engage in collective impact across Lake County through a new initiative called Neighborhood Spotlight. The Legacy Foundation will make a major commitment to relational place-making where leaders and citizens are fostering positive community change and becoming stronger, more vibrant neighborhoods that enhance regional vitality.
Neighborhood Spotlight represents a collaborative approach to community development. Citizens, community-based organizations and community members from the public, private and non-profit sectors will work together to Organize, Decide and Act upon issues important to them.
The collective impact model revolves around five goals:
Goal 1 – Common Agenda
All participants have a shared vision for change including a common understanding of the problem and a joint approach to solving it through agreed upon actions.
Goal 2 – Shared Measurement
Collecting data and measuring results consistently across all participants to ensure efforts remain aligned and participants hold each other accountable.
Goal 3 – Mutually Reinforcing Activities
Incentivizes projects and programs that are different while still being coordinated through a mutually reinforcing collective impact plan of action.
Goal 4 – Continuous Communication
Consistent and open communication across the participants and stakeholders to build trust, assure mutual objectives, and appreciate common motivation.
Goal 5 – Backbone Support
Managing collective impact with one convening organization playing a “quarterbacking” role. The staff will have a specific set of skills to serve as the backbone for the initiative in a particular place and coordinate the efforts of participating partners.
Neighborhood Spotlight will be highly competitive. It will provide a framework for community change, capacity-building resources, comprehensive planning and project implementation over the course of three to five years.
Interested persons and organizations can learn more about Neighborhood Spotlight by attending any one of three information sessions on January 31, 2014. Available times are 9:00 AM, 1:00 PM and 3:30 PM. A last chance information session is scheduled on February 5, 2014 at 6:30 PM. The location of all sessions is Radisson Hotel at Star Plaza, Ambassador Room, 800 East 81st Avenue, Merrillville, IN 46410
Sessions will provide additional information on the theory of change, the community capital to be leveraged, and the role of funded convening agencies who will receive capacity building and financial resources to build community, complete a Collective Impact plan, and achieve results for resilient families and vibrant communities.
Please complete the entire form to the best of your ability at this time.
