As the year approaches its end, and you may be thinking about publishing an impact report for this year, two questions come to mind: “How have we done this year?” and “Where are we going?” Your vision will define the ultimate success of your charity’s mission, but how you get there milestone by milestone will be different and may change as you look at past progress, present circumstances, and future opportunities.

This strategy-focused issue looks at ways in which charities can look and move forward in different ways. We cover examples of succession, mergers, new income generation and resources on growth and strategy. This is the last issue of Charities Network this year.
