Attachment A
Inclusive Dubuque - Scope of Work FY2014
Attachment A — Scope of Work FY2014
Inclusive Dubuque is a Collective Impact initiative. Collective Impact initiatives are long-term
commitment by a group of important partners from different sectors to a common agenda for solving a
specific social problem. Their actions are supported by a shared measurement system, mutually
reinforcing activities, and ongoing communication, and are staffed by an independent backbone
organization.
Backbone Support Organization
Creating and managing collective impact requires a separate organization and staff with a very specific
set of skills to serve as the backbone for the entire initiative. Coordination takes time, and none of the
participating
organizations has any to spare. The expectation that collaboration can occur without a supporting
infrastructure is one of the most frequent reasons why it fails.
The Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque will act in the role as backbone organization for the
Inclusive Dubuque initiative.
The initial staffing requirements for a backbone organization will perform three roles:
project manager, data manager, and facilitator.
In this role, we will provide a dedicated staff person(s) separate from the participating organizations that
can plan, manage, and support the initiative through ongoing facilitation, technology and
communications support, data collection and reporting, and handling the myriad logistical and
administrative details needed for the initiative to function smoothly.
Collective impact requires a highly structured process that leads to effective decision making. In the
best of circumstances, there is a backbone organization that embodies the principles of adaptive
leadership: the ability to focus people's attention and create a sense of urgency, the skill to apply
pressure to stakeholders without overwhelming them, the competence to frame issues in a way that
presents opportunities as well as difficulties, and the strength to mediate conflict among stakeholders.
Administration/Fiscal Agent
The Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque will act as fiscal agent for the Inclusive Dubuque
initiative. Projects may seek fiscal sponsorship for various reasons: an anticipated short lifespan,
5
improved access to funding, increased credibility, and low-cost financial and administrative services.
Fiscal sponsors can also assist nascent projects in developing the necessary organizational capabilities
to eventually spin off as independent non -profits. We will enable the partners to share a common
administrative platform, thus increasing efficiency. In addition to legal status and providing back office
financial services, we will provide payroll, employee benefits, office space and meeting rooms and
fundraising assistance. This will allow the partners the necessity of developing these resources and
allow them to focus on programmatic activities.
Inclusive Dubuque Objectives for 2015:
1. Leadership Alignment — engage and coordinate a network of leadership from diverse
communities within Dubuque in order to support a coordinated, collaborative approach to
supporting a more inclusive community.
2. Listening and Outreach — provide opportunities for Dubuque citizens to take part in the
Inclusive Dubuque process by facilitating;
a. Idea Exchanges — focus group style listening sessions held in organizations and
neighborhoods throughout the community that promote understanding of
Diversity/Inclusion and support connections between diverse groups. 12 minimum, held
monthly.
b. Community Dialogue Process — modeled after an evidence -based strategy called the
SPIRIT process. Inclusive Dubuque will facilitate a citizen -driven community dialogue
process that helps diverse communities in Dubuque identify barriers to inclusion and
supports the development of goals and strategies to overcome those barriers.
3. Data and Outcomes — coordinate the collection of data and measurement of outcomes from
the Inclusive Dubuque initiative.
a. Identify partners who can support the evaluation
b. Facilitate the implementation of a community survey to provide baseline data
4. Development — facilitate the efforts of the Inclusive Dubuque Development Committee to
secure funding to support the initiative for the next 3 years.
