Strategic Planning in Nonprofits

Event Details

Wednesday, October 8, 2025
9:00AM – 3:00PM PT
Walla Walla Airport Terminal Conference Room
Walla Walla, WA
Strategic planning can be a powerful process to guide the future of your nonprofit. There are many ways to approach strategic planning and there is no one-size-fits-all template. As you think about beginning a strategic planning process, you may have many questions about how to get started or how to improve upon past processes.

Pulling from a variety of strategic planning approaches and resources, Strategic Planning in Nonprofits (SPiN) is here to provide actionable information, tools, and activities to help you shape a process right-sized for your nonprofit. The full-day SPiN workshop will cover the six stages of a strategic planning process: Prepare, Listen, Envision, Plan, Implement, and Evaluate. You will leave with the tools and confidence to develop a strategic plan for your organization.

You will leave ready to…

  • Work through the six stages of a strategic planning process
  • Assess the current state of your organization
  • Assess and refine your mission statement
  • Name at least one strategic priority for your organization
  • Identify at least two next steps toward developing a strategic plan
  • Access resources, templates, and activities to complete a strategic plan

A light lunch will be provided.
