What is the difference between the terms non-profit, non profit, not for profit, non-profit, nonprofit, and notforprofit?
The terms nonprofit, non-profit, non profit, not for profit, nonprofit, and notforprofit all mean the same thing. Many people use differing versions of the same meaning.

What we know is that when you have a strategic plan and your key constituencies are in alignment, you will save time by being in agreement already. You will save time by not becoming involved in off-mission activities. You will gain time with focus and clarity.
How will I save money?
Most often, Executive Directors and non-profit board members do not have the time or expertise to effectively learn how to lead a strategic planning process and set up a strategic management process based upon the mission statement. As a result, many resort to hiring expensive consultants who charge a great deal ($5,000 to $50,000) to lead the process and create a strategic plan. Doing this work in house will eliminate the need to spend these sums for consultants.
Further, without a strategic plan and management system thousands of dollars are typically lost due to lost opportunities and crisis management. Strategic management reduces the fire fighting and brings order to chaos.
