Start Toolkit

The Community Roundtable’s Start Toolkit was designed to help you focus on the stages of your journey that move your organization’s community program forward.   The Start Toolkit aims to educate community owners and social strategists on how to lay the foundation for a successful community program.

This digital toolkit will help you answer these questions:

  • What is community and why does it matter to my organization?
  • What are some examples of successful community programs and what lessons apply to my case
  • How do I build a community strategy?
  • What resources and tools do I need?

The Start Toolkit is a digital download that includes: 

✓ The Community Maturity Model, TheCR’s guide to the competencies for community success

✓ 3 research reports, detailing levels of community maturity based on TheCR’s work with over 90 organizations

✓ 6 case studies, profiling the best practices and lessons learned of organizations implementing community

✓ 18 resources curated specifically for organizations that are in the early stages of starting their community programs

✓ 5 worksheets to get you started
