Strategic Goal:

Desired state in 2010: Starting a new project each year in the Portland metro area as well as an additional class each year in another location in Oregon. When this goal is achieved, the “I Have a Dream”® Foundation – Oregon will be regularly and consistently making a significant improvement in the lives of at-risk youth in Oregon.

Current state in 2007: Projects only start when a motivated donor approaches us. We have had gaps of more than 4 years between project starts. All projects have been in the Portland metro area.

  Core Problem addressed by our strategy:

The ability to proactively find and engage sponsors as well as raise enough money to start new projects each year.

  Strategic Plan:

Start projects regularly in the Portland metro area before starting projects in other areas of the state.

Open the door to more funding sources by modifying the “I Have a Dream”® model and organization.

Increase awareness of and affinity to “I Have a Dream”® in the donor community.
