Case Studies
We would love to help you, what is your goal?
A San Antonio based nonprofit offering healthcare services
The Purpose Coalition was contacted for a myriad of services, including an organizational assessment, and support of their strategic plan to expand their services by identifying geographic locations for consideration.
The organizational assessment utilized several lenses, including Malcolm Baldrige Performance Excellence and Trauma Informed Care. Key themes were outlined, along with detailed information on best practices and opportunities for improvement. As a result of the organizational assessment, the nonprofit was able to fully update its Employee Handbook with multiple, relevant updates, and updated their procedural handbook to prepare for potential organizational changes. Based on a recommended realignment of staff, the organization was able to save $40,000 annually in recurring operational costs, while identifying new opportunities for funding.
As for the support of their strategic plan, our team was able to identify geographic areas that would yield the most potential clients for a new or expanded site, along with an analysis of the healthcare services provided by other organizations to assess the most opportune locations to consider.
All these services were delivered in 90 days, and included employee interviews, onsite reviews, and engagement with the Board of Directors.

This effort takes the Purpose Coalition across the state of Texas, ensuring geographic representation in this effort.
