Our communities rely on the work of nonprofit organizations to make a positive impact in addressing a wide range of social issues and improving people’s lives. From small startup nonprofits to well-established ones, nonprofit leaders face a unique challenge in leading their organizations to create impact while ensuring financial sustainability for the future. Strategic planning can be a valuable tool for nonprofit leaders in facing this challenge.

So, how can strategic planning be effectively utilized in nonprofit organizations? Through flexible and adaptable processes, community engagement, and financially-informed tools, nonprofit leaders can gain a better understanding of their environment and develop strategic goals to position their organizations for enhanced impact. In addition, some nonprofits are strategically adopting co-leadership models to address various pressures, and as a result increasing their organizational effectiveness and well-being.

In this presentation, I share highlights from my hands-on experience working on strategic planning projects alongside consultants at a local nonprofit intermediary. You will learn about nonprofit strategic planning, the latest research on shared leadership models, and the value of these approaches in developing more sustainable nonprofits and enduring nonprofit leaders to increase their mission impact.
