Where can I get some help with all of these demands? Managing a nonprofit is a LOT of stress. There are countless demands on the organization. Fundraising that needs to be done. Board relationships to be managed. And then there are the constant reports due to funders. Don’t have enough money to hire that extra staff person to get it all done? Don’t fret. Plan F Solutions can help manage specific programs and reporting requirements. Contact Plan F Solutions to help with the workload on a per project basis or even as temporary staffing during periods of transition.
casemaking
(Theory of Change)
Why can’t we get more support for our great work? You know the work you are doing is making a difference and you can see it. Regardless, you aren’t able to increase the critical organizational support needed to provide your nonprofit more momentum. It might not be the work you are doing at all. It might be how you are explaining what you are doing and how you are measuring that it is working. Plan F Solutions has worked with various nonprofits to improve their storytelling so that it is more understandable to potential funders.
From Plan to Action
How do we enact our strategic plan? The board and staff have completed a dynamic strategic plan and it is approved. But the daily activities of the organization have not changed. Days turn into weeks and, sometimes, weeks turn into months when nobody opens the strategic plan and compares it to the organization’s actual activities. Many nonprofits approve strategic plans and have difficulty making it actionable. It takes tenacious discipline but it also takes a clear roadmap. Let Plan F Solutions engage you and your staff on how to make the goals of the strategic plan manageable, actionable, and measurable activities.
FUNDRAISING
Regardless of the scope and size of your nonprofit, fundraising is essential for success. With staff already fully deployed, you might miss some important fundraising opportunities. These might be foundations you are familiar with, or you simply don’t have the time to research. We are here to help improve your fundraising strategy from developing a grant calendar, to researching funders, to writing proposals.
