Social Venture Planning

 According to the National Center for Charitable Statistics:

• In 2006, there were 20,507 nonprofits in Texas
• Nonprofits in Texas grew 70% from 1996 to 2006
• The Texas nonprofit sector is the 3rd largest in the nation
• The Dallas/Ft Worth area has approximately 6,500 nonprofits
• Human Services and Education comprise approximately 50% of the nonprofit sector
• 49% of nonprofits in Dallas/Ft Worth have expenses under $100,000

Why the Statistics?

Nonprofits have a unique set of challenges. While the recession has caused a decrease in donations, an increase in services has also occurred. Many are pursuing social ventures as a strategy to sustainability.

Small, young nonprofits in Texas are a viable market for social venture planning.  In the Dallas/Ft Worth area, in particular, our primary target of educational institutions and ministries are solidly represented.

We want to help your agency plan to make money to move your mission forward.  If your donations are drying up and you need to find a new stream of income for sustainability, write a comprehensive plan complete with marketing strategies, SWOT analysis, and financial statements to put feet to your idea.

Social venture planning helps traditional nonprofits explore and discover earned income opportunities. This journey begins by changing the way your organization “thinks”.  Read our blog entry “Can We Change Your Agency's Mind?”
