Community services
Strategy that fits the realities of community-led organisations - funding, volunteers and impact.

Why TEP works in community services.

Community-services organisations operate at the intersection of mission and money - often with thin margins, volunteer boards, and complex funding mixes. The Executive Presence brings senior executive thinking into organisations that rarely have it on retainer. Strategic planning workshops, grant writing, governance support, independent recruitment, and the kind of board-paper craft that keeps small organisations sustainable and growing.
- Strategy that honours the why
- Mission-aligned
- Material built for governance
- Board-ready
- Built in regional Victoria
- Regional grounded

The frameworks we work within
ACNC Governance Standards, state-government community-services contracting frameworks, philanthropic and DSS grant criteria, and the governance expectations of working boards. We help organisations meet these requirements without losing the speed and mission focus that makes community-led work effective.
Typical engagements
- Strategic planning workshops with boards and executives
- Grant writing and funding submissions across philanthropic and government
