We were very excited to use Growthink’s business plan template. We could have spent days creating our own plan, re-writing and re-working it, or we could use a method that’s proven to be effective at organizing goals and information. We are a young, quick-moving organization, and the more efficient we are with our time, the more effective our services can be. And these services directly impact and improve lives!
Our long-term goals include significant growth both in number of people served, and in finances with the intent to eventually become financially self-sustaining. By starting with a well laid-out and organized plan as provided by Growthink, these goals will be prioritized, accessible and eventually met. The Growthink method will also provide us with a tool for reaching potential donors–nothing beats clear, concise vision and action plans when considering a new venture, be it for- or not-for profit. We expect that this tool will increase our yearly donations.
Many non-profits come and go, and often, non-profits fail because of poor business planning and poor business practice. By setting ourselves up with Growthink’s best practice plan, GenerateHope is confident that our strategies and goals will be implemented and that we will thrive and grow for years to come
