Goals & Strategy

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Long term goals include building an endowment fund that will help us sustain the program payouts for the scholarships and volunteer program. That will allows us to focus on community development and engagement when the endowment fund produces enough money to fund both programs.

We have a strong portfolio of events planned with qualified event planners to help improve year over year. We are also building an engagement model that will allow us to reach 100% of the community, from individual to small business to corporations and supplementary organizations.

In our recruiting strategies we are looking for qualified volunteers to help build the program. Additionally we are partnering with other nonprofits to help as consultants. The consultants are covering everything from event management, to organizational growth, to long term endowment funding and maintenance.

We haven't been able to fund the volunteer or internship programs.
