A focused reset
A concentrated session to name the most important priorities, surface decisions, and establish next steps.
Strategic Planning
Practical planning for small nonprofits that need clarity fast.
Facilitated planning for Executive Directors and Boards who need to decide what matters most and build a path forward they can use.
Built for
Executive Directors + Boards
Strategic planning can be hard to prioritize when the day-to-day work is already full. These intensives create structured time to step back, listen well, and make practical decisions together.
- Too many competing priorities
- Board and staff misalignment
- Growth without direction
- An outdated plan
- Uncertainty about what matters most in the next 12 months
- A need for structure before growth or new funding

Space for deeper alignment
A fuller planning day for organizations ready to work through priorities, ownership, and a 12-month action plan.

ToP® facilitation
What are ToP® Facilitation Methods?
ToP® Facilitation Methods are structured, participatory methods that help groups think together, surface what matters, build shared understanding, and make decisions. The process gives every voice a place while helping a group move toward practical agreement.
For small nonprofits, that means planning time is easier to use. Executive Directors and Board members can bring different perspectives into the room, work through competing priorities, and leave with a shared set of decisions instead of another round of discussion.
