WHY I WROTE THIS eBOOK
I’ve seen far too many nonprofit strategic plans gather dust. Not because the people who created them didn’t care, but because the process was too complex, too theoretical, or too disconnected from daily operations. I wrote this guide to change that.
I wanted to demystify strategic planning and make it something any nonprofit—regardless of size or budget—could do with confidence. This isn’t about creating a document to check a box. It’s about aligning your team, setting direction, and making intentional decisions. I’ve used this exact process with dozens of organizations to help them lead with purpose, and I know it can work for you too.

When you apply what’s inside—whether you’re starting from scratch or updating an old plan—I’m confident you’ll find the process more focused, less overwhelming, and far more effective than you expected.
