Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

The main goal for the project is to develop a comprehensive five-year business plan for Unashamed Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering emotional health in disadvantaged and at-risk youth and young adults. The business plan should outline the organization's mission, vision, goals, strategies, and financial projections for the next five years.



This will involve several different steps for the volunteer, including:


- Conducting interviews and meetings with key stakeholders to understand the organization's current operations, challenges, and future aspirations.


- Analyzing the nonprofit's existing programs, services, and impact on the target demographic.


- Researching industry trends, best practices, and potential funding opportunities for nonprofit organizations.


- Developing a detailed financial forecast and budget for the next five years.


- Creating a strategic plan that aligns with the organization's mission and addresses its long-term sustainability and growth.


What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?


By the end of the project, the volunteer should complete the following tasks:


- A comprehensive written business plan document outlining the organization's mission, vision, goals, strategies, and financial projections for the next five years.


- A detailed financial forecast and budget for the organization, including revenue sources, expenses, and funding requirements.


- A strategic plan that addresses the organization's long-term sustainability, growth, and impact on the target demographic.


- Presentation materials for communicating the business plan to internal and external stakeholders.



Final deliverables:


- A finalized and polished business plan document.


- Presentation slides and materials for communicating the plan to the organization's board, staff, and potential funders.


How will you support learners in completing the project?

I will provide extensive support and mentorship to any individual who volunteers to create a business plan for our nonprofit organization. This includes dedicating staff time to guide and assist learners throughout the process. Additionally, I will offer access to tools and technology needed to complete the project effectively. I will also provide access to relevant data and resources to ensure that volunteers have all the necessary information at their disposal. Our goal is to support and empower volunteers in every way possible to help them succeed in this project.

About the company

The mission of Unashamed Inc. is to foster emotional health in disadvantaged and at-risk youth and young adults that have experienced incarceration, homelessness, foster care, domestic violence, and teen pregnancy. Through various programs and services, we “plant seeds” to equip youth and young adults with the tools they need to dismantle unhealthy generational patterns and transition from surviving to thriving. We seek to support, inspire, and empower young men and women who have found themselves in these difficult situations and sow seeds of hope, resiliency and the skills needed for a positive future - even when they can’t see a future in sight.
