Brief // Strategic Management Practices for a Strong Community Foundation
by Joseph Hampton Holland and William B. Kneip
This 2019 brief shares how the Lafayette Oxford Foundation for Tomorrow (LOFT), a small community foundation in Mississippi, implemented strategic management practices by developing a strategic plan, identifying organizational values, formalizing processes and procedures, and developing a signature fundraising event to strengthen the organization and its impact in the community. These practices can be implemented in other community foundations.
