Accounting for Strategic Planning with a Multi-Fold Process My vision for a nonprofit would revolve around empowering youth to exceed in life by teaching music production. The concept is relatively simple. I would utilize funding to procure both office space and equipment for the most relevant music production equipment available today. Such equipment typically consists of laptops, MIDI keyboards, microphones, and software programs. Then, I would offer after school training in music production for those in high school. In order to enroll in these classes, however, students must maintain a certain grade point average. Thus, tutoring in formal academic classes is an integral component of this nonprofit as well. The mission statement for the organization is: Teaching children to succeed in music and in life.

Strategic planning could benefit this organization in a number of ways. Firstly, strategic planning could provide the means for the initial start- up funding.

Moreover, simply by appealing to youthful clientele and successfully marketing to such an audience the organization could create real public value because it would be able to work with younger students for a longer period of time than it typically has.
