How We Work

Our Philosophy and Method

Shared Power Strategy framework
Our Philosophy

Shared Power Strategy™

Most nonprofit strategies fail when they are shaped by a small group of decision makers without meaningful input from the people closest to the mission. Through our Shared Power™ philosophy, Prosper helps nonprofits clarify roles, rebalance power, and build strategies that are centered on the priorities of the people they serve.

Nonprofit Impact System framework
Our Method

The Nonprofit Impact System

Strategies are meant to be implemented, measured, and improved upon. Our three-phase Nonprofit Impact System method ensures every strategy you build with us will earn buy-in and alignment from your staff and board, and be implemented for maximum mission impact.

  • Alyssa and Lindsay expertly guided us through the strategic process, collaborating closely with people facing hunger, our CEO and executive team. If your nonprofit is considering making a commitment to developing strategies that center your constituents, there is no one better to guide you than Prosper Strategies.

  • In my 30-year career, I've worked on many strategic plans for nonprofits but I am often confounded by the complexity of the process and the product.  For small nonprofits with small teams, strategic planning can become burdensome.  Prosper really understands that and will help you build a plan that makes sense for your organization.  I am delighted with our end result. One board member described the process as magical.

  • Everything we did with Prosper exceeded my expectations. It was all clearly based in research and strategy. Plans were well laid out and easy to follow, giving us a clear vision for our work. We also have the ability to reference and update these materials for years to come. We are excited to launch our new campaign concept this year as well as donor acquisition programming.

  • I can’t say enough about these great folks. Very thoughtful and deep on strategy. They take the appropriate amount of time to become well versed in your subject matter, giving them the best insights to develop the best assets and strategy for you. We continue to rely on their wisdom and intelligence for our fund development work.
