Strategic Planning
How do you win more grants, connect with more donors, and get bigger gifts? Strategy.
As Taylor Swift said in her 2022 hit Mastermind, “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Strategy sets the scene for the tale.”
However, most nonprofits don’t have the time or cash to invest in a six-month-plus $20,000-$60,000 process. As the mother of a son with Down syndrome, Thrive’s founder just couldn’t stomach that. Reduced resources or skills should never equal reduced opportunity to grow.
With a certificate in AI for Businesses from MIT fueling our strategy, we are changing the face of quality, high-ROI, low-investment strategic planning for all-sized nonprofits. Through our advanced AI knowledge, we can process large quantities of data and trends in a fraction of the time that traditional nonprofit consultants can. We combine this with qualitative data collected through site visits, relationship building, and good ol’ fashioned conversations. Because our technology skills allow faster quantitative data analysis, we can invest MORE time in qualitative and relationship-based strategy building while still reducing the overall time it takes to complete a high-ROI strategic plan.
Every Thrive strategic plan includes:
A comprehensive strategic plan with an associated development plan.
Two copies of the plan - an external version using all the best design practices and an internal Excel spreadsheet with embedded processes to alert you to upcoming task deadlines. (This is where you cheer loudly for the departure of the strategic plan Word or PDF that merely hides in a folder somewhere.)
Ongoing tweaks even after the project is complete.
