  37. This business plan was developed through "Facilitated Business Planning,” a highly structured planning process facilitated by The Bridgespan Group, where a group of nonprofits directly execute on a rigorous set of internal analyses and dialogues, external analyses and research, and stakeholder engagement to each create their own business plan with a clear set of strategic goals, organizational and resource requirements, and clarity on how to measure performance. Funding for participation in this process was provided through the generous support of The Atlantic Philanthropies. Special thanks to our Bridgespan facilitators Jonathan Kartt & Debby Bielak
