Greater Richmond Interfaith Program (GRIP) is a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic coalition of congregations from varied faiths that work together to help community members in need to transition to self-sufficiency. GRIP does this by operating a family and adult shelter, as well as distributing meals.
GRIP hired Facente Consulting to support strategic facilitation with their board of directors. Facente Consulting helped GRIP refresh its strategic plan, supported team-building among board members, guided the board in a discussion about board roles and responsibilities, including fundraising, and oriented the board to the current state of homelessness and homeless services. Facente Consulting produced a workbook to support action planning in newly formed board committees.
