Volunteer: Strategic Planning & Organizational Growth
About the project
Legacy Lane Collective is seeking a skilled volunteer to develop a comprehensive Three-Year Strategic Plan (2027–2029) that will guide our organization's next phase of growth and long-term sustainability. As a growing nonprofit serving seniors, adults with disabilities, and caregivers, we are seeking a strategic roadmap that aligns our mission, vision, organizational priorities, and future growth objectives into one actionable plan.
Scope of work
The volunteer will facilitate the strategic planning process by assessing our current organizational capacity, identifying strategic priorities, and developing measurable goals and implementation milestones. Supporting analyses, such as a SWOT assessment, key performance indicators (KPIs), and implementation timelines, may be incorporated into the strategic plan as appropriate.
The primary deliverable will be a Board-ready Three-Year Strategic Plan that includes strategic priorities, measurable objectives, implementation milestones, and recommended performance measures to guide organizational decision-making and sustainable growth.
Why this matters
Legacy Lane Collective believes that thoughtful planning creates stronger community impact. A comprehensive strategic plan will provide the direction needed to expand programs, strengthen partnerships, build organizational capacity, and sustainably serve more seniors, adults with disabilities, and caregivers throughout Northeast Arkansas. By partnering with a skilled volunteer, we will create a practical roadmap that aligns our mission with measurable goals and actionable priorities. Rather than supporting one individual initiative, this project will establish the strategic foundation that guides our organization for years to come, helping us make informed decisions, maximize community impact, and ensure that every legacy deserves care.
Organizational context
Legacy Lane Collective has established a strong organizational foundation during its first year of operation. We have an engaged Board of Directors, growing community partnerships, successful grant awards, and a clear commitment to expanding our impact throughout Northeast Arkansas. We will provide the volunteer with our organizational documents, mission and vision statements, program information, Board input, current strategic priorities, and other relevant materials needed to support the planning process. Our Executive Director will serve as the primary point of contact and coordinate stakeholder participation throughout the engagement.
Upon completion, the Three-Year Strategic Plan will be formally reviewed and adopted by our Board of Directors and integrated into our annual planning, budgeting, and organizational decision-making processes.
Mission
Legacy Lane Collective enhances the lives of seniors, caregivers, and adults with disabilities through community-based programs that improve wellbeing, strengthen health and caregiver literacy, and expand access to essential nutrition and basic needs.
