Community Connections

HOW IT WORKS

The Community Connections project funds an unlimited number of CharityTracker subscriptions for each agency for one year. CharityTracker, an online case management tool developed to help families during Katrina, is used by over 1500 cities to coordinate care.

The Community Connections Networking Group meets monthly to share resources, information, and professional development. Membership is not limited to nonprofit agencies and also includes civic, faith and corporate partners.

The group meets every second Thursday of the month at 9:00AM at the Main Branch of the Huntsville Madison County Public Library in the Auditorium, but we're currently meeting via Zoom!

Leadership Social Services is a community leadership development program for health and human services agency staff and board members. Class members will participate in leadership development experiences designed to build networks and create opportunities for cross-agency collaboration as they connect, communicate, and collaborate. Participants will gain expanded knowledge of our community, develop relationships and acquire skills in order to assume a more active and effective agency leadership role in addressing community needs.

ELM's Pathway to Sustainability takes the Community Connections Program to the next level by helping organizations understand the individual’s journey and intentionally focus organizational impact based on mission, expertise, and experience.

COMMUNITY PARTNERS

A $50,000 grant from the Community Foundation's Women's Philanthropy Society provided seed money for CharityTracker licenses and network start up costs in 2019. The Women's Philanthropy Society awarded ELM an additional $25,000 grant to continue funding for the CharityTracker network through 2020.

"Community Connections makes sure that we don't have duplication of services, and that we are working together to help members of our community."

-Tommy Battle

Community organizations don’t always effectively collaborate with each other leading to duplication of services and reduced community impact.

Through ELM’s Community Connections’ online platform and meetings, organizations leverage resources.

So they can increase their impact, better serve their clients, and meet community needs.
