One-page strategic plan workshop for nonprofits
Your strategy lives in a 40-page document that nobody reads — staff can't articulate priorities and the plan has no traction.
What you'll achieve
A single-page plan that captures your vision, priorities, and success measures in a format everyone can use daily.
How a Nonprofit Builder consultant helps
- Run a focused half-day workshop to distil your strategy into its essentials, then design a clean, shareable one-page format.
Key deliverables
- Facilitated workshop, one-page strategic plan, editable template, short guidance note on how to use it with staff and board.
