Catalyst Consulting Services, Inc. has launched a new initiative, Catalyst 4 Change, which will highlight our client partners during this time of significant change in an effort to share stories of how these amazing nonprofits are rethinking the delivery of their mission in our community.

We are pleased to feature the Early Learning Coalition of Hillsborough County (ELCHC). CCS had the pleasure to work with the Board of Directors to facilitate their annual board retreat, leadership and fundraising workshop, and formulation of their strategic plan. The ELCHC specializes in the funding and delivery of quality early childhood care and education and after-school programs and services.

In June, more than 700 Tampa Bay area child care providers experienced devastating losses and mounting costs as a result of COVID-19. As a response, the ELCHC launched a Relief Supply Drive to provide needed supplies to local childcare centers with a $25,000 corporate gift from TECO Energy.

In July, the PNC Foundation awarded a $400K Grant to support 16 Florida Early Learning Coalitions to Launch the “Any time is 3Ts Time” Campaign. Built on the 3Ts – “Tune In, Talk More and Take Turns” – a simple, yet powerful tool that helps parents make the most of everyday interactions with their young children.
