Strategic Planning

You have seen the need to improve a certain facet of your community. You meet up with friends and some community members to fundraise and pool together your resources and expertise to make it happen.

After a couple of years, you notice that interest is flagging, and some members are hardly attending meetings, let alone getting involved in the activities. In fact, it’s probably just you and a couple of committed friends who seem active. You are probably now sharing the workload, from supervising volunteers (and perhaps, if you have the funding, a couple of full time staff), running events, handling publicity, and keeping up with the mission’s work. What was supposed to be a grand idea that would only take part of your time has become tedious.

It’s time for review, if you want to get the joy of giving back. You all meet up and agree that improvements are best served by registering a non-profit body that will ensure that public involvement for good. Together, you agree on a small team of friends to form the first Board of Directors and formalize the process of registration.

You need to think about how you will achieve your mission, who will be involved and how it will be carried out and within what time frame. You will also spell out clearly the role of Board members and staff. Agree on how you will measure success.
