For nonprofits and foundations
Good Plan for social impact.
Good Plan builds strategic plans for nonprofits and foundations. Following our proven process, you will get an actionable strategic plan with organizational coaching to achieve your goals. Be confident and clear on how to successfully accomplish your organization’s strategic vision with your Good Plan.
You are doing good work. But, leading social impact is hard. It’s easy to get off course and stretched thin. Keep that from happening with Good Plan.
The Problems we solve
Good Plan is built to solve these pivotal challenges.
⁕ New or Lost Funding
You just received the notification you won the big grant or landed the major gift. Other times, your funding request is denied. When funding shifts, it’s time to strategize.
⁕ Mission Creep
Nothing kills your mission faster than doing too much. It’s unsustainable and waters down your impact. When you’re stretched thin, you need to redefine what’s core.
⁕ Leadership Transition
We’ve all experienced it: when leadership changes, everything is impacted. At least it can feel that way. Transitions are the perfect time to assess and priority set.
⁕ Desire to Innovate
What’s worked in the past may not be working now. To move the needle, you will need to reimagine and to drive innovation. This is a sweet spot for us.
⁕ Audacious Vision
When vision expands, things move fast. It’s thrilling to shoot for the moon, but without a plan it’s easy to make big mistakes that hurt the vision and your team.
⁕ Staff Burn Out
People are leaving the industry at rapid rates. Recruitment and retention are tough. Your team want a balanced life. Accomplish this with proper preparation.
