Overview
American Rivers has experienced financial challenges over the last several years. Its new CEO attributes this to two things. First, a strategic plan that lacks clear outcomes, is too broad in scope, and is without an implementation plan. Second, a lack of alignment between outcomes and fundraising capability. This organizational effectiveness grant would be used to hire a consultant to guide American Rivers board and staff through a planning process designed to address the deficiencies in the strategic plan and fundraising capabilities.
