Highlights
Continued Expansion
S&W partnered with Providence to conduct their three-year strategic plan. Providence has been on an incredible growth trajectory and is now taking next steps to continue expanding its programs, services and fundraising.
Setting Strategic Direction
S&W led a comprehensive process to provide a clear plan to guide the organization’s next three years as it continues its successful growth. At the core of the strategic plan, Providence will formalize its role as a community resource and leverage its position to serve as a national model.
Collective Voices
S&W developed a well-rounded, comprehensive three-year plan that lights the path towards the Providence vision and ignites its continued growth and success. The perspectives and input collected from Board, staff, and volunteers were interwoven into the final plan, making it a fully inclusive product.
The Challenge
Providence’s story is one of resiliency, reinvention, and visionary leadership. Formerly known as Delaware County SPCA, Providence suffered from outdated and poor conditions of its facilities. It was close to shutting down. Things began turning around in 2012 when it became a life-saving shelter and then major renovations began in 2014. Providence continued to make great strides in growing stronger financially, building out its services and establishing innovative partnerships centered on promoting the human-animal bond. At the start of the strategic planning, their main challenge was visioning and planning the next phase of its growth, along with catching up internally with its outward expansion.
The Solution
In 2021, S&W conducted a strategic planning process for Providence Animal Center to develop its comprehensive three-year plan. The final plan built on their existing accomplishments in expanding its programs, services, and fundraising, to fortify and ensure its continued trajectory of success. With a new vision, updated mission and a set of core values, Providence will formalize its new role as a community resource and leverage its position to serve as a national model. They will also continue to invest in its human resource base, internal systems, and strategic partnerships under the leadership of its Board.
