How can we build consensus and momentum about our mission and the programs we offer?
Strategic Planning brings a nonprofit’s key stakeholders together to reflect on the past, analyze current circumstances, and set goals for the future. The resulting plan should be a living document that outlines steps to take and assigns responsibilities and timelines.
Strategic Planning can be a critical element of a nonprofit organization’s success. It can provide clear and articulate definitions of who the organization serves, the measures of success, and the means to achieve that success. A strategic plan can also be very important in the process of raising funds by giving prospective donors confidence that the organization is proceeding carefully and thoughtfully.
McDonald Schaefer Group can facilitate a strategic planning process tailored to meet the needs and goals of your organization. Depending on the availability of the planning participants and the specific needs of your organization, the process can be completed in a single meeting or can be conducted through a number of meetings over a longer period of time.
McDonald Schaefer Group would help to:
Outline specific goals for the planning process that are reasonable, attainable, and meaningful and then structure the process to meet those goals.
Identify and recruit the stakeholders that would be most critical to involve and most helpful.
Facilitate the meeting(s) to be productive, energizing, and fun.
Draft a report for consideration and adoption based on the planning process that represents a roadmap for the future including goals, tasks, assignments, timelines, and measures of success.
