HOW TO CREATE
Krista Kurlinkus, Ph.D.

Having a strategic plan is essential for any nonprofit.
Of course, a strategic plan helps organizations define our vision, goals, and strategies that will make it possible for us to serve our community.
A strategic plan helps you determine each of those essential elements and more. It acts as a blueprint for your organization.
And an organization with a strong blueprint that they are able to follow is always more appealing to grantmakers.
There is so much competition for grants right now, even amongst small local grantmakers that they are only funding organizations that can prove capacity and sustainability.
You might be thinking: Where does the strategic plan actually show up in the grant application?
Some grants do ask for a copy of your nonprofit's current strategic plan.
But a strategic plan, a good one, is not something you can throw together at the last minute for a grant application.
That's why I created a comprehensive workbook to help my grant writing students and clients create a strategic plan that will not only impress grantmakers, but get their work on track.
It's The Ultimate Strategic Planning Digital Workbook!
