How Engagements Take Shape in Orange
Multi-year community engagement in Orange
A regional health system asked RFC to design a sustained Orange engagement focused on historic preservation. We built an audience model from Orange household and organizational data, structured a multi-channel advisory services program, and embedded a field cadence that turned a six-month launch into a three-year compounding partnership with local conveners. The program's reach and depth grew every renewal cycle.
Coalition-anchored outreach across Orange County
A coalition of Orange County non-profits engaged RFC to coordinate a Orange-anchored community engagement push. Rather than running parallel programs, we mapped the existing civic infrastructure, brokered shared messaging, and produced a single in-language mail and field deployment that the coalition members executed in concert. Cost per qualified contact dropped materially; partner satisfaction stayed high through the engagement.
