26. Why Your Board Does Not Want a Five-Year Plan and What They Want Instead

Most nonprofits are trying to forecast five years out when they don't even know if their biggest funder is renewing in six months.In this episode, I challenge the old way of strategic planning and get clear about what boards want from you: Direction. Clarity. Confidence.Because a 50-page document sitting unopened for months on Google Drive doesn't fund your work or move your mission.If you're under pressure to create another strategic plan, this is your permission slip to choose what works in real-world nonprofit leadership, especially with federal cuts slashing 2,600+ programs.It's time to plan like a leader who knows the terrain, not like someone trying to impress a funder.The Rich Nonprofit NewsletterConnect with Lisa: InstagramLinkedIn
