Why Every Community Foundation Needs a Strategy?
Community foundations are powerful engines for local giving and social change, but in today’s fast-changing environment, goodwill alone is not enough. That’s why CivLegacy Foundation convened a strategy development masterclass, led by Dr. Joyce Tamale, to help community foundation leaders clarify their purpose, focus their limited resources, and build resilience. The session underscored that a clear strategy brings direction, strengthens credibility with donors and boards, unites stakeholders around shared goals, and enables foundations to stay agile in volatile contexts. As CivLegacy’s Programs Manager, Catherine Mutesi Mugabo, noted, strategy becomes truly impactful when stakeholders own the process.
