Nonprofit Strategic Planning Consultant Services

A nonprofit organization in Virginia is seeking a consultant to guide and execute a strategic planning process that will help shape the organization’s direction over the next three to five years. The selected consultant will work with the Board of Directors, senior staff, and other stakeholders to facilitate an in-person planning process and produce a written strategic plan.

The scope includes preliminary research on the organization, review of background materials and recent membership surveys, and focus groups with targeted stakeholders such as members, board members, and staff. The consultant will assess the organization’s needs and assets, develop pre-session homework assignments for leadership, and facilitate an on-site, one-day strategic planning session during the organization’s Fall Board Meeting.

Deliverables include a three- to five-year strategic plan with objectives, goals, and action steps, as well as submission of a draft to the Executive Director for board review, discussion, modification, and approval. The consultant is also expected to provide ongoing guidance to the Executive Director in developing the business plan and to identify desired outcomes, appropriate strategies, relevant software or technology, and potential partners where beneficial.
