Straight Path Management is a strategic partner whose goal is to equip nonprofit and faith-based organizations to achieve their desired mission impact.

Our Leadership Team

Straight Path Helps Leaders Answer Vital Strategic Questions:

• What is our vision for the future and how do we get there?
• How do we measure "mission impact"?
• Which strategy path should we pursue?
• How do we improve our strategy implementation?
• How can we make our strategic planning process more results-oriented?
• What should our organization look like to be best positioned for success?

Straight Path's experience and research tell us that successful nonprofits have one thing in common: they have focused their team and all organizational activities on making mission impact. A compelling mission statement, or "cause", may engender some support in the short term. However, long-term success, along with meeting board, donor and volunteer expectations, requires that a nonprofit shows results in the context of its stated mission.
