2021–2026 Strategic Plan
The Children’s Services Council of Martin County (CSCMC) makes funding decisions based on its current 2021–2026 Strategic Plan, which is updated every five years. This plan is shaped by both empirical data and grassroots community input, helping us assess how Martin County’s children are doing compared to past performance, state and national statistics, and industry benchmarks.
These insights inform our funding priorities and strategic investments, ensuring that resources are directed where they can make the greatest impact. CSCMC works alongside local partners to continually evaluate the effectiveness of funded services in improving the health and well-being of children and families in our community.
Strategic Planning Process
The current strategic plan was developed through a comprehensive needs assessment process conducted from mid-2019 through 2020. CSCMC collaborated with a wide range of community-based organizations serving children and families in Martin County.
The plan is driven by both quantitative data and qualitative insights, which together helped shape CSCMC’s Funding Priority Areas and guide all impact-focused investments from 2021 to 2026.
