STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS PLANNING TOOL AVAILABLE ON-LINE

Last summer, a number of Trust grantees and other Colorado nonprofit leaders had the opportunity to learn about the Smart Chart - a tool to help nonprofit organizations develop strategic communications plans - from Kristen Wolf, President of Spitfire Strategies and designer of the tool, in a presentation at The Colorado Trust, which was hosted by the Colorado Philanthropy Communicators. The Smart Chart is now available on-line. The Interactive Smart Chart, accessible free of charge at www.smartchart.org, guides users through a sensible step-by-step process, asking questions along the way to help evaluate the effectiveness of choices made in the planning process.
