Nonprofit strategic planning — despite its intended promises — can be a pain. It can take too long, cost too much, be too complex, and not deliver the desired results. This is especially true for small nonprofit organizations. But it doesn’t have to be that way. In this unique and customizable program, you and your nonprofit’s leaders will create a practical and dynamic strategic plan and process that can result in:
Greater fundraising success
Clarity of mission, vision, and values
Increased programmatic focus that minimizes mission creep
An improved organizational culture
Attraction of stronger board members
Reduced staff turnover
These benefits lead to a healthy, sustainable, and impactful organization—the ultimate promise of strategic planning.
2024-2025 Strategic Planning Cohort
“I just wanted to let you know how much the strategic plan has helped our organization. We are half way through the year and are ahead of all of the goals we setup for the year. The list, the auto-nagging, and the natural engagement of [the] board has really made a difference! ”
“One of the things I love about this program is that y’all gradually introduce new aspects of the software. Very savvy! It doesn’t overload us as once yet allows us to build capacity as we go. We get comfy with one aspect, then you introduce additional functionality.”
