After 20 plus years of working with nonprofits and small businesses of various sizes and diverse missions, I came to realize that more often than not they have a challenge focusing on their mission and primary goals.

 

Nonprofit leaders and small business owners usually wear many hats and that often causes strategic focus to be sacrificed.

 

Strategic planning is really just a map to figure out where you are going.  A way to see into the future with a plan.  It is a plan written in pencil.  Changes are inevitable but you need a starting point.  

 

Strategy, it’s a word that often conjures up fear in nonprofit leaders, board members, and small businesses.  The idea of creating a strategic plan is overwhelming and seems like a never-ending process.

 

Words like optimization, growth, processes, impact, mission creep, fundraising, donor management, etc. are often intimidating.  Where would you even get the time to start this process? 

 

That is where I come in.  As a nonprofit and small business strategist, I will collaborate with your leadership and team.  Together we will evaluate the organization, focus on priorities, and create a sustainable strategy to navigate the future with purpose to serve your mission and clients.

 

Strategic planning and board building are my primary areas of focus.  However, I often work with clients on fundraising, donor management, branding, employee retention, volunteer management, and much more.  Let’s collaborate, create focus and implement a plan to make your organization sustainable for the future.
