Center for Nonprofit Excellence NONPROFIT BUSINESS PLANNING SAMPLE OUTLINE
The difference between a Strategic Plan and a Business Plan: A Strategic Plan is a leadership tool that sets the future direction for the entire organization. It spells out the organization’s mission, vision, primary goals and strategies. A Business Plan is a management tool that sets short-term objectives and defines the steps necessary to achieve them.
The Center for Nonprofit Excellence and the National Center for Nonprofit Enterprise have developed these templates and guides. For more information, contact Gigi Woodruff at CNE at woodruff@cfnpe.org or Richard Brewster at NCNE richard@nationalcne.org.
