Strategic business planning solutions

Today more than ever, nonprofit organizations need a clear strategic direction to ensure their future relevance, success and sustainability. Schultz & Williams meets this need with holistic, actionable strategic business business planning focused on measurable results.

These plans take shape through a process that is inclusive and engaging, creating real shared ownership. Our team behind the process draws on decades of experience in serving and leading nonprofits, and on our firm’s expertise in fundraising, marketing, and strategic business planning. The result is a wide-angle view of each organization and its future and a strategic plan that combines inspiring vision with fundable, practical actions.

At Schultz & Williams we believe planning is a meaningful process of reaffirming an organization’s purpose and identity, visioning its future impact, mapping the course to get there and uniting the players throughout the journey. With each new planning project, we put this belief to work.
