Help for nonprofits who want to do the right thing right
We have put together guidelines on various topics for nonprofits looking to expand their
resources and maximize their impact.
The first thing to consider when launching a new initiative is your strategy, both as an
organization and for each program. Why are you pursuing this program? What do you hope
to accomplish? Answers to these and other questions, along with tips for creating a realistic
timeline will help you get off to the right start.
The research page offers tips for conducting research to find prospects and to create a
compelling Statement of Need.
Armed with a strategy and a list of potential donors, you have successfully begun the
complex process of program development, which extends from the abstract - fitting the
program into the big picture of your organization - to the very detailed - developing an
evaluation plan.
Learn about the elements of a grant proposal, forming partnerships and writing an
organizational history that will impress donors in the section on grant writing.
Finally, the resources page has links to helpful sites on evaluation.
