Georgia Foundation for Public Education

Strategic Plan Development

The Opportunity: The Georgia Foundation for Public Education (GFPE) supports educational excellence for students in Georgia. The Board of Directors sought to align the work of the Foundation on a set of measurable outcomes that would be compelling to donors and focus the organization’s grantmaking.

Our Services:

  • Interviewed Foundation board members, funders, grant recipients and state education leaders

  • Developed benchmark profiles of similar foundations

  • Analyzed data on past grantmaking activities

  • Facilitated the Board of Directors to identify four priority outcomes within which to focus the Foundation’s resources

  • Developed three strategic themes and related initiatives for enhancing the Foundation’s work

  • Created a detailed action plan for the most critical strategic initiative to launch first.
