Change Guidance
Community coaches can navigate available resources and guide a community-based planning process.
This guide is a resource for funders who include coaching in their community change initiatives. A community coach supports communities and organizations in identifying and achieving their goals, and funders are in a unique position to identify when coaching is an effective approach to capacity building.
Community coaching as an investment strategy is effective if funders maintain flexibility in working with grantees, participate in learning communities and evaluate outcomes.
