J Consulting Group, in association with Vink Consulting, worked with the Region of York to research the efficacy and best approach for the York Region Community Investment Strategy: a community funding program for not-for-profit agencies to deliver services to low and moderate income York Region residents. Core activities included a review of the current program and logic model, a best practice review of community funding programs, a review of current literature and regional strategies, and various engagement activities with funded and non-funded community agencies, other funders, and regional staff. The review resulted in the development of a renewed model for administering the funding process to the community.
