Board Visioning
Fund raising and communicating with your publics are most successful when informed by a clear vision for your organization. Have you made a strategic plan? Are your annual goals in line with the mission and long-term vision?
Having a strong vision of what your organization looks like in the near-term and long-term helps you:
• put limited resources toward priorities,
• identify prospective donors who share your interests,
• craft messages that resonate with all constituents,
• gracefully decline gifts that might take your organization off-track, and
• celebrate near-term successes toward long-term goals.
Any road will do when you don’t know where you are headed.
Inspire your board, staff and volunteers to rally around a common vision that can provide the framework for all of your fund raising and communications.
The campaigns we have worked for have benefited from well-defined goals and giving opportunities.
