The Bailey Foundation 31IntroductionWelcome to the ‘Challenges and Lessons Learned’ section, where we reﬂect on the hurdles we’ve faced and the invaluable insights gained along the way. At The Bailey Foundation, we embrace every challenge as an opportunity for growth and improvement. Despite the unforeseeable events and transitions brought on by COVID-19 in only year two of existence, our vision remains steadfast, guided by our core values as our North star.

32 2020-2023 Impact ReportIdentiﬁed ChallengesAs our front-line efforts dramatically increased throughout COVID-19, access to reliable stafﬁng posed signiﬁcant hurdles on our program operations.How this challenge was addressedThe Bailey Foundation hired an HR consultant to incorporate stafﬁng solutions, receiving consulting and advisory from organizations such as CN Resource to assist with food program challenges post-COVID. TBF’s consultants and advisors assisted in hiring volunteer leaders and contractors to navigate the demand, while also providing support in onboarding, recruitment, training, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) processes. This strategic approach ensured that stafﬁng needs were effectively addressed, enhancing the organization’s capacity to meet program demands during critical periods.The Bailey Foundation relies heavily on federal and local grants to fund operations, which can signiﬁcantly impact our ability to meet the demands of our beneﬁciaries. Focusing heavily on meeting grant reporting needs has a tremendous effect on our capacity to remain focused on the overall mission, as ever-changing reporting criteria leave little room for evolution to meet the direct needs of our ongoing partners and beneﬁciaries.How this challenge was addressedEfforts were made to diversify funding sources by seeking corporate sponsorships, individual donations, and exploring alternative revenue streams to reduce reliance on grants. Streamlining reporting processes and improving efﬁciency in grant management also helped alleviate the burden on staff.Partnering w/grant-making organizations and funders who remain ﬂexible to the overall mission of The Bailey Foundation and our long-term ﬁnancial goals have proven to be critical to our overal succes and growth strategies.STAFFINGGRANT DEPENDENCYFood deliveries help cut down on my groceries. I can now have a little money for my medicine and not have to borrow to get it.Donna
