A strategic plan outlines your nonprofit’s priorities for the future. Strategic planning asks your staff and board to evaluate your nonprofit’s vision and mission, and then to determine the most important things you need to do to advance both over the next 3-5 years by establishing pillars, objectives and key results.

Other strategic elements, such as a logic model and theory of change, marketing and fundraising plans, and program plans are also beneficial for many organizations.
