While strategic planning is essential to the work of high-impact nonprofit organizations, a dynamic performance plan can be difficult to build from the inside.

That is why we offer a process that helps nonprofit leaders realistically and objectively consider their organizations’ financial health, effectiveness, capacity and relevance within the community.

“We hired Aly Sterling Philanthropy to help us discover the shortcomings of our youth program and create a roadmap for the future. Susan was brilliant – she really listened to everyone’s perspectives and kept us on track toward the same goal. We had several sensitive issues and these were handled beautifully with discretion and understanding. We could not be more pleased with the resulting plan. It has energized our youth team and led to many positive results.”
