Business Plan Boot Camp

A three to six hour session for nonprofit leaders that utilizes the CONNECT Nonprofit Business Plan Workbook as a guide to cover the following essential business plan elements:

• The Executive Summary
• Description of Business
• Market Analysis/Community Need
• Marketing Plan
• Service Delivery
• Management Plan
• Operations Plan
• Evaluation Plan
• Financial Plan
• Risk Analysis

Additionally, we offer suggestions for maximizing writing time, tips for staying focused and balanced, and how to combat writer's block. In-class activities provide attendees with opportunities to "try on" some of the language that needs to be presented in a business format, which is often a challenge for nonprofit writers.

This strategy assists grantees with refining their own technical skills as well as creating a deliverable that not only satisfies their contract requirements but also is a usable tool in their planning or capacity building efforts and reinforces the importance of good business practices.
