Hi Changemakers,

In early December I finished facilitating a 10-week Strategic Planning Group. Those nonprofits are definitely set up and ahead of the curve in 2019! In any case, even if you haven’t sat down and did your planning yet, or even if you have, you are going to want to listen to this episode. This is a snapshot of one of the modules from the Strategic Planning Course. It is one that the nonprofits in the group got really excited about and will give you excellent tips on:

The best thing to do is to print out a full-page of a 2019 calendar that lists all the months and dates, and a piece of paper. (Or download the FREE Printable), where we have everything set up for you!

Here are some questions to consider:
What are our nonprofit’s milestone events for the upcoming year?
What are other community-wide big events for the upcoming year?
Do we need to adjust the dates of our events?
What are the grant and funding timelines in the upcoming year?

Once you have really nailed down this calendar, then make it available and visible for your staff. Let people know what projects are in the works and what they should be prepping for.

This activity really shouldn’t take very long at all yet will save your nonprofit hours and hours (maybe even eliminate repeating the same unsuccessful year) and will help everyone understand the vision. You can also:

Mitigate having an unsuccessful fundraiser or missing a grant deadline simply by:

Planning it in advance
Getting corporate funders to commit to funding your event before others
Prepping for grants!
