The Talent Initiative: Building Organizational Capacity for Sustainable Talent and Leadership Development is a partnership between the Edna McConnell Clark Foundation, RCLA, and the Center for Applied Research.
The Initiative seeks to advance an articulation of high performance across multiple domains of talent and organizational capacity and enable grantees and the Foundation to assess where to direct attention. Specific initiative activities engage grantees from the Clark portfolio, all high-performing nonprofit organizations that serve low-income young people, in efforts to enhance their talent and leadership capacity, thereby building knowledge about what it takes to move organizations toward high performance.
The Initiative's central, but not exclusive, strategy is peer learning, building from participants' current work and providing them with opportunities to come together, share strategies, and collectively develop new knowledge about what works in their organizations.
