Page 7: What is Community?

This tool is designed to help agencies place in context the work they perform which achieves results at the community level. The table on page 7 represents the MACRO context of the discussion: in the broadest terms, what are the goals for community impact resulting from strategies and activities sponsored by the agency? A community, in this context, is not necessarily restricted by established legal or geographic boundaries. The term "community" can be used to describe any grouping of individuals who share common distinguishing characteristics (including residency).

We often speak, for example, of the "low-income" community, or the "religious" community, or the "professional" community. The individual members of these "communities" may or may not reside in a specific neighborhood, county, school district, or voting ward, but an agency may be enacting strategies that will have measurable affect on them. The proposed tool allows agencies the flexibility to define the target "community" in ways that are most appropriate for the situation.
