PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT

A structured approach to aid in creating and enhancing your programs and projects.

ENHANCE PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT

Through this service, Katalyst employs a structured approach to aid in creating and enhancing your programs and projects, enabling you to fulfill your mission effectively.

 

We will collaborate with your team through personalized, one-on-one consultations to develop concise language that details your project's most vital components.

Who is this ideal for?

Program Design is ideal for nonprofit organizations launching a new program/project, struggling to
articulate an existing program, or need to refresh the details of a program that may have evolved over
the years.

How will Program Design help my organization?

Our experience has shown that many nonprofits need help describing their programs concisely and
accurately. Often, what happens on the ground differs from what was written in a grant – causing internal
frustrations and, worse, failure to fulfill a grant award. Creating a reference guide for each of your ongoing
programs and short-term projects provides clarity for your staff/consultants on the overall goals and
resources required.

  2. A detailed “SOURCE” document to inform staff conversations, marketing content, and fundraising
    proposals.

  4. An editable program design document that outlines:

✓ Purpose Statement (Why does this program/project exist)

✓ Program activities, strategies/methodologies, and timelines (inputs)

    5. A final program abstract, "Your program at a glance."
