BOOST Collaborative

Boost Collaborative has been successful in maintaining viability as an organization because of the showing of strong financial support from Boost Collaborative supporters during its annual dinner and key fundraising event in March of each year. In addition, the establishment of a social entrepreneurial project through its thrift store, Palouse Trea... sures since 2007, has allowed Boost Collaborative to diversify its funding stream from state and federal funds to a more diversified mix. The strengths of the agency can be seen in the support of friends and families of the children and adults we serve. In addition, the dedication and longevity of service of staff helps ensure quality of services to its customers. A small but effective Board of Directors governs the agency through its agent, the Executive Director, who has been in the position 30 years. This strategic plan addresses the challenges that were first identified in 2009, and later updated through a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis from key stakeholders: staff, board, parents of customers, referring state case managers and contractor representatives. Updated annually with various stakeholders' input to remain relevant, this plan addresses: Organizational Development, Effective Leadership, Financial Growth, Public Awareness, Service Vitality and Effectiveness, and Personnel.
