Episode 128: Strategic Planning for Nonprofits: Why It’s Broken and How to Fix It


Listen Later

What is strategic planning really — and are you doing it right? In this episode, Tosha Anderson talks with Steve Strang, Practice Director at Spectrum Nonprofit Services, about why so many nonprofits misunderstand strategic planning.


They unpack what a strategic plan should look like, how to align it with your team’s capacity and funding reality, and when not to pursue growth. If your organization is in flux, dealing with turnover, or facing budget concerns, this episode is a must-listen for grounding your next move in strategy that actually works.
