The Y has been a part of many grass roots coalitions and served as a fiscal agent in cases. Recently we've been asked by two orgs about how we can oversee a local coalition. I'd like to find tools, legal info about what this might look like. We have attorneys who are great at dissecting agreements but I want more general knowledge. Thanks so much, Kim
Thank you for writing to us at the Community Tool Box. and please excuse our delay in getting back to you. It’s good that you are interested in tools that may help you and your local coalition, and many such tools do exist.
The tools that are most appropriate for you will depend on what you mean by “overseeing” a coalition – for example, do you mean direct it (such as by an administrative director), consult to it, advise it, handle its finances, or some combination of these things, or something else? (The legal issues you might best leave to your attorneys.)
If you are looking for more general information about coalitions, you might consult Chapter 5, Section 5 in the Tool Box table of contents, which deals with on Starting a Coalition. You can find this at https://ctb.ku.edu/en/table-of-contents/assessment/promotion-strategies/start-a-coaltion/main. Chapter 5, Section 6, on Maintaining a Coalition, may be helpful as well, as may be Toolkit 1, on coalitions, as well.
We hope these thoughts may be useful to you. Thanks again for writing to us, and all best wishes for success as your work continues.

(The legal issues you might best leave to your attorneys.) Many options are possible and justifiable, so it will help you to first clarify this point for yourself.
