STRATEGIC ARTICULATION

NOVEMBER, 2021

Our Work To Date

 In August, we launched an initiative to articulate GGAs strategic plan going forward.

 In an effort to ‘Hear Every Voice’ we - conducted key leader interviews (Tene Traylor, Shell Berry, Janine Lee) - 8 SOAR focus groups with representation from 40+ funders that participate in GGA and - surveyed our total population of funders with our Net Promoter Score assessment

COMPOSE YOUR MASTERPIECE

FIND YOUR FORTE

PLAY YOUR CRESCENDO

 Leveraging what we learned from this collection of stakeholders, our leadership team crafted a purpose statement.

VISION

IMPACT

PLAN

 We then convened ~30 funders as a Task Group through a series of high engagement, facilitated sessions to build out the other elements of the strategic articulation map (SAM).

August - September

HOW TO READ AND FOLLOWOUR STRATEGIC ARTICULATION MAP

How to Read and Follow our Strategic Articulation Map

Our purpose is to  develop and connect philanthropic leaders,  interpret and influence public policy and  activate and align foundation capital  to make a transformational difference in all Georgia’s communities.

 To align our strategic plan to our purpose, it helps to decompose this sentence into its 4 key parts.

Develop & Connect Philanthropic Leaders

Interpret & Influence Public Policy

Activate & Align Foundation Capital

 The first 3 elements describe what we will do. How we will act. Focus on the VERBS of each top row.

To Make A Transformational Difference In All Georgia's Communities

DEVELOP AND CONNECT PHILANTHROPIC LEADERS

 The final state is our impact. It’s our ‘why’. It’s what drives our action.

STRATEGIC PRIORITY

FLIP THE PHILANTHROPY NORM FROM EXCLUSIVE TO RADICALLY INCLUSIVE Our value added through GGA is higher, the more funders we have at the table. We create more synergy between funders and with key partners. We will uplift other’s voices - always having Inclusion at the center.

 Over the next few pages, we will decompose each of these 4 elements using this approach.

THINK BIG (By 2026 we will see)

START SMALL (By December 2022, we will see)

SCALE FAST (By 2024, we will see)

GGA is the preeminent resource for aspirational, connected, and knowledgeable philanthroapic leaders working in Georgia.

GGA is the learning center for funders working in Georgia to gain timely insights and grow their skills around our through lines (racial equity, civic engagement, environmental sustainability).

GGA participants have chosen learning and project goals and are tracking progress and experiences with certifications and digital badges.

Strategic Priority – What is important about this element and why Vision Snapshots – We use a THINK BIG, START SMALL AND SCALE FAST rhythm to set our aspirations. These describe what we aspire to see in 5 years, 1 year and 3 years respectively. Our Differentiators declare what we will do differently that we’re not doing now. This gives us a sense of our change mandate. Our Headline Indicators will measure our progress to let us know how well we’re moving towards our visions and aspirations. Our Critical Initiatives lay out what we’re going to do starting in 2022. It doesn’t yet indicate specific timing or priority. But it does illustrate what we must begin to do to create the vision.

GGA convenes ANY AND ALL funders in Georgia to ensure its reach into all Georgia communities.

GGA is a known quantity to the entire funder community working in Georgia and its key partners by being responsive to the way we collectively address issues using philanthropy.

GGA has a strategy to reach untapped funders working in Georgia that and works intentionally to engage them (make room for everyone at the table).

2

GGA has formally developed it’s ‘network of networks’ with tools and communication mediums that promote the rapid and transparent exchange of information about issues and strategies in Georgia.

Grantmakers are well networked, know each other, and USE those relationships to do their work.

Philanthropy leaders in GA are easily able to query interest areas and quickly connect with colleagues and partners to explore strategies or access guidance.
