Remember…
- There are many approaches to strategic planning and no single way to plan. Take time to learn about strategic planning and assess if now is the right time for a strategic planning process at your nonprofit.
- Understanding your nonprofit’s history provides relevant context and grounds the process in what came before as a starting place for what comes next.
- Build on any existing plan elements and identify key questions facing your nonprofit. Do not avoid the hard questions your organization needs to address.
- Establish a strategic planning team and realistic timeline to help guide and keep the process moving forward.
