Training Overview

Who is on your organization's planning team? Use collaboration to create a better plan for 2021.

Nonprofits that involve multiple stakeholders in a methodical planning effort produce stronger results than those that delegate the responsibility for creating a development plan to a single employee or volunteer. A planning team will produce more effective and useful plans while increasing engagement among staff, board members, and volunteers.

To drive specific results, your plans should incorporate:

  • Accurate historical data
  • Market intelligence
  • Performance expectations
  • Deadlines
  • Success targets
  • Meaningful and affordable budget allocations

As your organization embarks upon a new year, now is the perfect time for a comprehensive and inclusive planning effort.
