By the end of this guided project, you will be able to use the Nonprofit Business Model Canvas to create, deliver, and capture value for your Non-Governmental Organization (NGO). The canvas serves as a blueprint to help you to design, and operationalize your idea in a more systematic approach. The Canvas is 9-block visualization tool derived from the popular Business Model Canvas, but modified to fit into the NGO context. Essentially, the canvas helps you and your team to answer pertinent questions relating to strategic decision-making, allocation of resources, or developing proposal for grants. Because the canvas makes it easy for you to share ideas and solicit feedback, it’s therefore a quick communicate and strategic planning tool.
