I helped to start a nonprofit whose purpose is to support a local National Wildlife Refuge and your ideas will be shared with them. As a school administrator, I have believed in and used strategic planning processes for years and took some of the ideas I learned in education to use as we have developed this Friends group and it has helped keep our focus on things that are important to all of us. It also strengthens your mission/message as you seek ways to communicate with the public. When we talk about the increasing demand for transparency in so many areas today, strategic planning can facilitate a groups ability to be perceived as being transparent. While strategic planning is not a new concept, I agree that it is especially important, as you noted, in the current economic situation, especially for nonprofits. As an aside, I was not aware of the connection between 4H and Phillip Morris - disturbing on many levels. Great article, as always, David.

Thanks for your thoughts on this. I started a non-profit a few years ago called A School Bell Rings that builds schools around the globe for poor children. We're going through a strategic planning process right now to help us get to the next level. A good resource is the Foundation Center (I think it's FoundationCenter.org). They're in New York and Atlanta and can provide your readers some good content on how to do a strategic plan. FYI. Hi, David. Thanks for your thoughts on this.

I am looking to start a fundraising plan for my local church here in Houston, TX. Since I am a junior professional, I need a little bit of focus from someone that has experience. This article definitely guides me through the right direction towards strategic planning. Excellent article! Great article!
