Mission-Driven Philanthropy: What do We Want to Accomplish and How do We do It?

Northwest Area Foundation

This article explores a series of issues the Northwest Area Foundation has considered as part of its strategic planning process. The Foundation engaged in intensive strategic planning from 1996 to 1998 and has continued to focus on strategic alignment since that time. This has led to major changes in how the foundation is governed, does its work, and identifies its potential partners.
