NEAHP WEBINAR: Conducting a Philanthropy Assessment & Strategic Planning During Unprecedented Times

Assessing your philanthropy program and creating a strategic plan is the best way to ensure success moving forward. With COVID-19 changing the landscape of fundraising, there is no better time than now to take a critical look at your philanthropy operations. Organizations typically perform a fundraising audit or assessment to comprehensively examine the status of their current fundraising efforts, to identify strengths and weaknesses, and to seek out areas for growth. A Strategic Philanthropy Plan is designed to capture an overall fundraising matrix emphasizing characteristics and achievements of other high-performing philanthropy programs amidst the new reality caused by COVID-19.

Conducting an assessment and creating a strategic plan should lead to recommendations on how to launch any philanthropy initiative successfully. Recommendations should cover topics such as Leadership; Organizational Structure; Metrics and Performance Management; Regional Presence; State, Region/Market, and Local Philanthropy Capacity based on data analytics and predictive modeling; and Annual, Major, Planned, and Principal Gift Strategy. Join us for our upcoming webinar, where we will discuss why an assessment and strategic planning process is critical and how you can get started with the process.
