SOH Releases 2012 Strategic Plan

2012 Strategic Plan Update

“We Are The Change We Seek “

2) Communication-Donor/Client event:

Relationships – put first priority on building empathetic relationships with our clients, donors, and volunteers.

SOH has less than five consistent monthly donors. They give an average of $11,400 per month.  The goal is to increase this to 25 monthly donors by the end of year, giving an average of $25,000. This will be done by, Social Media, hosting quarterly lunches and workday events.
