96: Nonprofit Strategy Call: Gaining Clarity for a Nonprofit's Next Steps

<h3>Join me on the Fast Track to Grant Writer: www.teresahuff.com/vip</h3> <hr /> <h3>Importance of Clarity</h3> <p>People won’t support what they don’t understand. We must have clarity in order to make an impact. </p> <p>In this week's on-air nonprofit coaching call, I'm working with the lovely Dooshima David-Jang, a nonprofit leader from Nigeria. Inspired by her father’s legacy, she started a nonprofit when she saw a disconnect in her community.</p> <p>First we had to dig into what that really meant. Then we could design a short-term action plan so she can gather more information from the community while serving them at the same time.</p> <p>Finally, she asks if I have any insights about why her grant for a much-needed idea wasn’t funded.</p> <p>For all three points, it all boils down to clarity and impact.</p> <p>Let’s dive in!</p> <h3>Clarity Is the Key to Making an Impact</h3> <div> <div> <div> <div>I hope you're starting to see the power of clarity and strategic thinking. In Dooshima’s case:</div> <ul> <li>She first needed to get clear on the impact she wants to make with her nonprofit.</li> <li>Then she needed an action plan to find the shortest distance from Point A to Point B. That way she can build momentum, develop community partnerships, and iterate her programs.</li> <li>That will give her more powerful leverage in the future when she’s ready to start applying for grant funding.</li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> <h3>Challenge Question:</h3> <p>Is there an area you’re holding back because of a lack of clarity? If so, we need to dig in and polish it up! </p> <p><strong>If you enjoyed this episode, you can book your own 1:1 strategy session with me at <a href= "https://teresahuff.com/mentor/">teresahuff.com/mentor</a>.
