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 GRIP’s board. In this project, Facente Consulting will (i) help GRIP refresh their strategic plan, (ii) support team-building among board members, (iii) guide the board in discussion about board roles and responsibilities, including fundraising, and (iv) orient the board to the current state of homelessness and homeless services. Facente Consulting will facilitate two meetings, resulting in a list of action items and priorities for the board’s next steps.
