Shaping Your Nonprofit’s Future through Informed Decision-Making

At Association Options LLC, we understand that steering your nonprofit toward success requires more than just a cursory glance at your surroundings. Our approach to environmental scanning goes beyond surveys. We utilize the powerful tool of “Drivers of Change” to set the stage for strategic forecasting and ensure your organization is not just data-driven but “data informed.”

What is Environmental Scanning?

Environmental scanning is the systematic process of gathering, analyzing, and interpreting information about external forces and trends that may impact your nonprofit’s mission, operations, and strategic direction. It’s about staying ahead of the curve, anticipating change, and positioning your organization for success.

Drivers of Change: Illuminating the Path Forward

At the heart of our environmental scanning approach are the “Drivers of Change.” These are the key forces and trends in your operating environment that have the potential to significantly affect your nonprofit. By identifying and understanding these drivers, we help you navigate the complex landscape of the nonprofit sector with clarity and confidence.
