To create a future where everyone affected by tuberous sclerosis complex can live their fullest lives.
2024 – 2028 Strategic Plan
Throughout 2023, members of the TSC Alliance Board of Directors, staff and community worked diligently and thoughtfully to write a five-year strategic plan. This plan was based on community needs and input, informed by a comprehensive online constituent survey and in-person discussions.
Below is a summary of the new plan. Read our more detailed Objectives, Goals, Strategies and Measurements (OGSM).

Theory of Change
At the same time, the strategic plan working group updated the TSC Alliance’s Theory of Change (TOC), which helps us articulate and evaluate our actual impact on the daily lives of everyone we serve.
In general, a TOC is a specific type of methodology for planning, participation and evaluation used in the philanthropy, not-for-profit and government sectors to promote social change. Our TOC defines long-term goals and then explains how a group of early and intermediate accomplishments sets the stage for producing long-range results.
