Our Strategic PlanThe Association of Fundraising Professionals-Greater Austin Chapter prepared our inaugural strategic plan in 2009, with the goal of providing the Chapter with an attainable plan to serve its members and our community and to reinforce our mission to facilitate ethical and effective philanthropy in Central Texas. Since the development of that first strategic plan, our Chapter has continued to reevaluate and update our plan to guide the work we're doing in the years to come. AFPGAC 2023 Strategic Plan UpdateThe 2021-2023 strategic plan was developed at a unique time for the Association of Fundraising Professionals Greater Austin Chapter. The annual strategic planning processes began in 2020 at the end of the prior strategic plan. This plan was created, published, and adopted during a the COVID-19 pandemic, and during a time that our communities – locally and globally – were facing unprecedented challenges. Across sectors – nonprofit, private, education, government – organizations and leaders were confronted with economic, social, political, and health challenges that had previously been unacknowledged. The AFP Greater Austin Chapter, like all others, was deeply impacted. The organization had to navigate learning how to operationalize our work in a virtual world, how to sustain membership and build community, and how to do it all in a way that responded to the social movements that were amplified during the pandemic – specifically relating to anti-racism and equity. Through 2021-2023 we’ve made incredible progress, but the Board of Directors felt strongly that there was much in the 2021-2023 plan to be accomplished, and through the work over those years we were equipped with a wealth of tools, knowledge, and training that we wanted to embed into the current plan. With that, in 2023 the Board approved an extension of our 3 year strategic plan to become a 5 year strategic plan and continue through 2025. To increase communications and transparency with members and supporters, we are thrilled to launch a new strategic priorities dashboard initiative this year. The dashboard will be updated throughout the year so we can celebrate the organizational vision and progress we are making together. Please see the new organizational dashboard below, and we invite you to review the 2021-2025 strategic plan. Click to View Strategic Plan
