Strategic Mentorship Over the Long Haul
In 2010 Westby Associates began working with Kairos NW on long-term planning. We helped build a full strategic plan to achieve their 5-year vision, conducted a gap analysis to identify deficits, created funding opportunities to address the gaps, and provided board development support. We have provided oversight and accountability of board and staff to the metrics of the plan. In the course of that work we identified an opportunity for a capital campaign for a mental health services campus, and helped put together the funding to make it a reality.
The formula: strategic planning and executive and board mentoring.
The result: $6.4M was raised in 24 months and included leveraged funding from local philanthropy and regional foundations (including nearly $1 million from the Portland area) to complete a Children’s Mental Health Campus.
Looking ahead: current work includes an extension of the 5-year strategic plan and continued board development, as well as identification of a new capital campaign opportunity in Coos Bay, Oregon.
