The Taylor Community Consulting Program (TCCP) provides nonprofit organizations with expert consulting from Olin students. Participating nonprofit organizations benefit from this six-week, pro-bono consulting program in which student consulting teams address business issues in the area of market research, brand audit, financial assessment, operational assessment, and strategic planning. The Program concludes when the teams deliver final presentations highlighting their achievements and recommendations before representatives from the nonprofit organization, Olin faculty, and executives from Enterprise Rent-A-Car.

Interested nonprofit organizations should complete an online application including a background of the organization, the project type, and suggested deliverables. See the Program Timeline below or visit the CEL Calendar for specific dates each semester. There is no limit to the amount of times an organization can participate in the Program. The CEL welcomes inquiries regarding the Program.

• Organizations are invited to an information session to give overviews of their project and answer any student questions before students review and select their projects of interest.
• Organizations are notified whether or not their project received a student team.
• If a nonprofit organization is unable to staff a student team, the project can be deferred to the next semester.
• Once a team is in place, the organization should appoint a director or manager as the team's contact. The contact should take charge of the TCCP process and maintain weekly contact with the team over the course of the six-week project.
• The project will be appropriately sized for the six-week time frame. No new duties or requirements should be added in the middle of the project.
• Students should have access to accounting and other information as needed to produce a complete analysis.
• Students will contribute a total of 75 hours of work toward this course which includes time spent in mentoring sessions, preparing for the project, and actively consulting.
• At the conclusion of the Program, the students will present the results of their project work to representatives from the organization, Olin, and Enterprise Rent-a-Car. It is required that the team's contact from the organization attend to provide feedback on the success of the project.
