Workshop Highlights – 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. The workshop will:
- Help you to tell the story of your organization or venture through a business plan tailored to the nonprofit context.
- Discuss when a business plan is a good choice for your organization and why.
- Explore business risks and the frame of mind needed for successful business planning.
- Provide tips for what and how to prepare if you seek outside assistance.
- Provide case study examples of successful nonprofit business plans.
- Provide you with take-home Excel-based Cash Flow Projection, Start-Up Budget and Fund Development Plan worksheets to use to develop the financial portion of your business plan.
