How Engagements Take Shape in Montclair
Multi-year community engagement in Montclair
A regional health system asked RFC to design a sustained Montclair engagement focused on retail & commerce. We built an audience model from Montclair household and organizational data, structured a multi-channel precision mail programs 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 San Bernardino County
A coalition of San Bernardino County non-profits engaged RFC to coordinate a Montclair-anchored community outreach 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.
