PROGRAM AND FUND DEVELOPMENT
The Olin Group has secured millions in grant funds for its clients through private foundation, corporate, and government sources in the past several years. In addition to fund development, we have provided strategic support to county-wide initiatives, capital campaigns, foundations, and endowments. Our development products and services include:
· Fund Research and Development
· Proposal Development
· Program Assessment and Development
It is important to note that while we do due diligence on funder process and grant parameters, and maintain relations with many California funders, we do not directly approach funders on behalf of any of our clients. Our role is to provide strategic development support behind the scenes that allows agencies to spend their time and resources developing relationships with funders. This protects our neutral standing in the community, and encourages those most familiar with their agency’s achievements to speak passionately to potential donors.
STRATEGIC PLANNING
Much of the value in strategic planning comes more from process than outcomes. Managed correctly, strategic plans reflect common visions, goals, strategies, and timeframes generated by the process itself. The Olin Group offers strategic planning support that helps agencies develop realistic, attainable goals that align with their missions, lead to consensus between staff, board, and stakeholders, and provide solutions to key, time-sensitive challenges. Our strategic planning products and services include:
· Board Facilitation
· Business Plan Development
· Sustainability Planning

STRATEGIC EVALUATION
