Leaders of nonprofits rarely have the
chance to step outside their pressing day-to-day concerns
and gain a bird’s-eye view of their long-term challenges
and opportunities. When we make a major investment in a nonprofit
organization, we help make this reflection possible by funding
a three- to five-month planning process that is far more
comprehensive than what the nonprofit sector is used to
today.
To share our perspectives, process, and lessons
learned about comprehensive planning, we've developed a
seven-part series that documents our point of view and methodology.
