  • Strategic Plan

    Thanks to the hard work of the Foundation’s board during the challenging summer of 2020, a new outline of some of what we hope to achieve in the next five years came into being. You can read the entire strategic plan or just review these highlights.

    Along with our Mission and Vision, our Values, Principles, and Goals will inform our work and our intentions.

    VALUES:

    Integrity
    Excellence
    Innovation
    Collaboration

    Conservation
    Diversity
    Inclusion
    Sustainability

    PRINCIPLES:

    Develop fruitful collaborations and strategic partnerships in the Commonwealth.

    Create future generations of park and forest supporters by engaging new and diverse audiences.

    Focus on quality of services and long-term sustainability for the Foundation and our chapter friends groups.

    Advance financial sustainability and diversification by seeking funding through a variety of initiatives – membership growth, cultivate individual donors, corporate sponsorships, events, foundations, and grants.

    Inspire individuals to become donors, members, volunteers, and supporters.

    Goal 1: Work with the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and other partners to ensure a sustainable system of parks and forests.

    Goal 2: Build a diverse stakeholder base for the sound investment in our parks and forests through messaging and education on the value of our parks and forests for outdoor recreation, the economy, the environment, and for physical, mental and emotional health.

    Goal 3: Ensure a place and an experience for everyone in the outdoors.

    Goal 4: Invest in transformative projects and opportunities to enhance and conserve our parks and forests.

    Goal 5: Strengthen the capacity of PPFF, friends’ chapters and volunteers through strategic investment of time, talent and revenue.
