Paws With A Cause

Our three year strategic goals are:
1: Build a solid foundation of sustainable canine resources to support the successful placement of a minimum of 100 client/dog teams annually.
2: Successfully conclude the transition to a philanthropic fund development model to support annual revenue objectives.
3: Redefine and align organizational strengths to effectively and efficiently meet our client needs.
4: Target educational and marketing efforts to strategically support the organization's needs and mission.

Some of our strategies to support our goals are:
- Match staffing and training needs to meet increased output.
- Research and implement the use of other breeds as Assistance Dogs.
- Educate and engage all staff on philanthropic fund development model.
- Align talent of the Board of Directors with organization's philanthropic needs, encouraging an active, participative role.
- Build relationships with donors to increase their engagement and level of giving.
- Conduct qualitative and quantitative an analysis of services provided to clients.
- Determine and implement best use of organizational resources, based on results of the analysis, to best serve and support our clients.
- Evaluate implemented steps to measure effectiveness.
- Define current and ongoing organizational needs.
- Utilize appropriate tools to communicate the message and measure outcomes quarterly.

Our greatest assets are people ~ staff, volunteers, clients and donors, who support our mission and goals. In providing services to people with disabilities, we must recognize our canine assets as well; dogs who are lovingly raised in volunteer homes and custom-trained by expert trainers to assist people in fulfilling their goals of independence.

We measure progress one client story at a time. Each client success story is a testament to the processes and procedures that are in place, covering everything from paperwork and canine health care to placement and field training. Challenges are lessons yet to be learned!
