Intro to Strategic Planning: Crafting the future of your nonprofit organization is a free workshop offered as part of our INTEGRALIntros series of educational webinars on topics of interest to your nonprofit organization's management, board members, and staff.

To assist you on your journey to learn more about strategic planning, we have collected the workshop slides, the recording of the most recent webinar, and some helpful resources.

Leading a nonprofit organization in today’s rapidly changing environment can be challenging, as is navigating a route forward when much of the world we know is shifting and the future remains uncertain.

Strategic planning processes enable organizations to understand their current and past operating states, create a vision for the future, and determine what steps they should take to achieve that vision.
