Business Planning for Nonprofits
Nonprofits today are increasingly motivated to use business planning tools and models to communicate their visions and their “value added” to funders, investors, clients and the community. Whether you have plans for a revenue-generating social venture, or simply want to analyze and communicate your goals through a business development lens, this introductory workshop will highlight the critical elements and best practices in business planning for nonprofit organizations.
