Business Plan

[Keith Vinson]

Some people may say business plan or strategic plan...I am looking for a
document that focuses on the future of the organization.  A plan that has a
vision and mission statement, marketing plan, funding plan, organizational
structure, and budget.  It may or may not have all these components but this
is the what I am looking for.  I want to start off right when I begin my
non-profit business.  I just want to see how good organizations are
structured.  I know how to do the work but I also want to have something in
writing that I can always focus in on and I want to see how others are doing
it.  I hope this explains what I am looking for.  You can respond to the
listserv or directly to me.  If you have specific examples, please send them
to the listserv.  There are a lot of people who would want this information.
