This very basic process is typically followed by organizations that are extremely small, busy, and have not done much strategic planning before. The process might be implemented in year one of the nonprofit to get a sense of how planning is conducted, and then embellished in later years with more planning phases and activities. Planning is usually carried out by top-level management.

 

  1. Identify your purpose (mission statement)
  2. Select the goals your organization must reach if it is to accomplish your mission
  3. Identify specific approaches or strategies that must be implemented to reach each goal.
  4. Identify specific action plans to implement each strategy.
  5. Monitor and update the plan
