Strategic Planning

In my experience as a nonprofit CEO, the biggest challenges nonprofits face are handling all the organizational priorities and crises on a day-to-day basis. It can be overwhelming at times.

The purpose of strategic planning is to set overall strategic direction and goals for your business and develop a plan to achieve those goals. It involves stepping back from your day-to-day operations and asking where your organization is headed and what its priorities should be as it moves forward.


A strategic planning process allows you to step back and work with your board, staff and key stakeholders to:

  • Set the strategic direction for your organization for the next 3-4 years

  • Review your mission, vision and strategy

  • Gain buy-in from your board, membership, volunteers, and staff

  • Communicate your plans and strategic objectives to your stakeholders to ensure everyone is moving forward together in the same direction

  • Make effective strategies and plans for the post-COVID environment


Strategic Growth Coach can facilitate organizational conversations in your nonprofit to support:

  • Organizational Growth & Change

  • Fundraising

  • High Performance

  • Marketing & Partnerships

  • Diversity Programming
