Discovering Community Power: A Guide to Mobilizing Local Assets and Your Organization's Capacity

Written by
The ABCD Institute in cooperation with the W.K. Kellogg Foundation

    
The ABCD Institute's experience indicates that proposals which connect with and engage a wide range of community resources are more effective than those which involve only the staff of the lead organization. We are also convinced that non-profit organizations are much more powerful community actors when they are not exclusively focused on needs, problems, and deficiencies but are effectively connected to the resources, or assets of the local community.

This document will help any organization:

1.Strengthen its own organization by enhancing connections with the community's assets.

2.Strengthen the community by investing in the community's assets.

3.Strengthen current and future community based projects, activities, and proposals.
