Strategic Plan

Project details

What we need
  • Analysis of the Organization’s current needs, long-term goals, programs, competitive standing and resources
  • Recommendations for an appropriate course of action to reach the desired objectives, including allocation of resources and how to measure success
  • Plan outlining the resources and steps required to reach short- and long-term goals
What we have in place
  • We currently have two staff members in development/communications, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have board members with historic information, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $12,550 , allowing us to use those funds for grants.

The Montclair Foundation (TMF) is an unusual organization in that it not only supports Montclair based nonprofit organizations but operates a property which was gifted to the foundation in 1993. This project will help us to set a clear direction that will allow TMF to set priorities, build commitment among key stakeholders, and drive progress.

Testimonials

Read the Impact Story
As a small nonprofit, hiring a consultant for our strategic plan was not an option. Catchafire paired us with Kate and we have been thrilled with her knowledge and guidance through the planning process. She accurately assessed our culture and needs and brought valuable insights to the table. We felt listened to, respected, valued, and encouraged to discover our own solutions. As a newly hired Development Director, with no experience with developing a strategic plan, Kate introduced me to concepts and a framework that helped harness my strengths and talents. She has helped me move the organization through an actionable strategic planning process and has been a vital resource to me. I look forward to our continuing relationship.
