Charting impact

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

Feeding the Foothills is charting a bold course to strengthen our organizational foundation, scale our impact, and invest in the people who power our mission.

Feeding the Foothills is charting a bold course to strengthen our organizational foundation, scale our impact, and invest in the people who power our mission. Rooted in our commitment to end hunger across our 4,500-square-mile service area, this strategic plan focuses on three high-level priorities that will guide our work over the next three years:

1. Our Organization
We aim to build a resilient and visionary leadership structure by engaging outside counsel to support board development and executive leadership growth. Through governance refinement, strategic alignment, and intentional leadership cultivation, we will ensure that Feeding the Foothills is equipped to navigate change and drive long-term impact.

2. Our Growth
To meet rising community needs and seize new opportunities, we are prioritizing key infrastructure and visibility initiatives. These include:

A comprehensive rebranding effort to clarify our identity and strengthen our voice across the region.

Investments in fund development and communications to deepen donor engagement and expand outreach.

Launching a major gifts and planned giving program to secure long-term financial sustainability.

A facility buildout to increase food storage and distribution capacity.

Building a dedicated grant management program to support data-driven funding strategies and compliance.

Implementing budget forecasting tools to ensure proactive financial planning and operational efficiency.

3. Our People
Our team is our greatest asset. We are committed to attracting, retaining, and growing a strong, skilled, and mission-aligned workforce. Key initiatives include:

Capacity building across departments to foster collaboration and resilience.

Developing a succession plan to ensure leadership continuity.

Designing and rolling out a robust staff training and professional development program.

Regularly gathering and applying staff feedback to improve workplace culture and promote sustained employee engagement.

Together, these priorities reflect our commitment to organizational excellence, adaptive growth, and meaningful community impact. This strategic plan will position Feeding the Foothills to serve more people, more effectively, for years to come.
