Services / Strategic & Business Planning

Strategic planning for nonprofit organizations and foundations that helps you generate greater impact.

Make decisions that make a difference, enhancing your ability to carry out your mission. Stay ahead of trends, see things in new ways, and quickly move from analysis to action. With our nonprofit strategy consulting, we find powerful solutions to your overarching questions, then help you put it all into practice.

Strategic Planning

Effective strategic planning strengthens your organization’s practical, on-the-ground ability to focus on the right things and increases your capacity to respond to challenges that could compromise your mission. With our strategic planning process for nonprofits, we help you identify the “big questions” you face, then craft organizational, programmatic, and operational strategies to make sure all parts of your organization are in sync. Not only did we write the book that revolutionized nonprofit strategic planning, we continue to evolve our methods to support the emerging challenges facing the social sector today.

Business Planning

Strategic planning is the process of strategic decision-making for your organization, while nonprofit business planning brings those decisions to life. We help you create a distinct strategy, then evaluate the economic and operational requirements to achieve success. By combining your subject matter expertise with our deep experience in the social sector, we help you refine your thinking, challenge assumptions, and plan for future success. DARE2 Succeed is our powerful, phased approach to business planning that customizes proven tactics to your organization and its aspirations.
