Strategic Planning with Compass Pro Bono
A thoughtful and clearly articulated strategy enables nonprofits to advance their mission more efficiently and effectively. Our low bono strategic planning services recognize that every nonprofit has different needs and objectives when it comes to formulating and implementing the organization’s strategic priorities. We provide bespoke projects designed to fit a client’s specific objectives, scope, timeline, and budget. Projects are led by our in-house strategic planning expert, accompanied by a team of experienced volunteers selected for their specialized functional and issue area expertise.
What we offer in Strategic Planning Services
A structured strategic planning process guides a board and Executive Director through the process of setting priorities, establishing goals, focusing resources, and creating action plans to guide implementation. The process itself is valuable, aligning boards and staff as they jointly agree on the goals and a long-term vision for the organization. A strategic plan is also critical to fundraising as it allows a nonprofit to share its priorities, plans, and vision with donors and partners.Â
