Organization Goal Setting
Project details
What we need
- 3-5 clearly articulated organization-wide goals
- Meeting facilitation of leadership team to discuss and agree upon goals
- Note: This project does not include specific tactics to achieve goals
Additional details
We have conducted a SWOT analysis with our board this summer. We would like to use that information, in addition to our mission, vision and values to create a strategic plan for sustainability to be implemented over the next 5 years.
What we have in place
- We currently have mission and vision, program data and financial data, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a Board, Program Director and Finance Officer, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $7,930 , allowing us to provide transportation, meals, outreach, and support groups to our clients.
The community we serve experiences high rates of homicide and assault due to gun violence. We provide free trauma-informed therapy to a city that has been chronically underserved. Many organizations start with great intentions and summarily fail. We want to be a lasting and effective healing resource for the residents of Chester, making it a healthier place to live. We want to build the capacity of residents to take on the healing work themselves. A strategic plan is necessary at this stage.

Our mission
To heal the psychological and emotional impact of homicides and reduce trauma-related reactive violence in the City of Chester, PA
What we do
We provide trauma-informed therapy to City of Chester families where a loved one has been assaulted or murdered. Participating families receive case-management support, as well as door-to-door transportation to appointments, childcare, and supper on therapy nights.
We also work collaboratively with other violence prevention organizations to enhance the collective impact of our work to transform the City of Chester.
We believe wholeheartedly in the possibility of recovery from trauma, we believe in the creativity and resilience of our community, and we also believe in our capacity to create change.
