Description
At the Bureau of Social Initiatives Foundation (BIS), we support people who are active in the community. We teach people how to turn dreams into action. Our strategic goals are: • To develop a system of support for residents to become socially active; • To develop a system of support for NGOs, taking into account their diverse needs; • To strengthen the role of the Foundation in the process of developing cooperation between local governments, NGOs and residents. Our activities are aimed at three groups of beneficiaries: active residents, NGOs and local governments that are ready for local cooperation. We are an experienced organisation with a proven working methodology and a committed team. We have a strong brand in the Lesser Poland Province. Within the 5 years of the strategy, we want to: • build networks of Citizens'' Activity Places and NGO Centres as well as expand the small grants programme and other forms of support and services, • improve working methods, • expand the network of partners, especially entities from the business sector and local governments, • strengthen our brand as an expert organisation and build our community, • develop our advocacy activities in order to strengthen our position in the City of Cracow, • develop the knowledge and substantive competence of our team. We also want to develop: • the ability to diversify sources of funding (business, fundraising, paid services, endowment), • the effectiveness of promotional, sales and fundraising activities, • management processes, team cohesion and collaboration, organisational participation and a learning culture, • standard of office and equipment. Reporting tools will be developed. We will organise annual meetings to review the degree to which the results and their indicators are being achieved and the qualitative implementation of the plans.
