Results-Based Planning: How to WOW Your Funders with Your New Strategic Plan

Results-Based Planning: How to WOW Your Funders with Your New Strategic Plan

Published 07-12-10

Submitted by Ventureneer

Results-based strategic plans start with the results you want. Strategies, goals, and objectives are then developed so your organization can achieve those results.

Outcomes, with indicators and targets, determine the strategies adopted when using this technique. A results-based strategic plan will give your board the information it needs to monitor performance and manage the organization, as well as -- and this is important! -- produce a compelling message for donors and funders.

Stop telling donors just what you do. Demonstrate impact with key, measurable strategic results!

This webinar will give you a format for developing a results-based plan. We will focus on:


  • Writing strong, measurable and meaningful strategic results;

  • Learning about outcomes, indicators, and targets for defining and measuring your strategic results;

  • Providing an outline, examples, and sample tools for creating your organizations plan;

  • Showing funders how much your customers benefit from what you do.

Participants will learn to craft measures of results and build results-based plans for their organizations.

Who Should Attend:


  • Nonprofit executives, managers, and program directors

  • Board members

  • Volunteer leaders of nonprofit organizations

  • Funding staff
