ACF Strategic Plan: From Vision to Action
Announced by Jeri Pat Gabbert, CFRE
President, ACF Board of Directors
This past year, ACF embarked on an inspiring strategic planning journey with the expert guidance of Dr. Patton McDowell, CFRE, and the team at PMA Nonprofit Leadership. With valuable input from members and stakeholders — through surveys, interviews, and focus groups — we developed a bold plan that reflects our values, advances our priorities, and captures the aspirations of our community.
Launching Our 2025–2028 Strategic Plan: From Vision to Action
This plan will guide ACF’s work over the next three years through five bold pillars:
- Member Growth, Retention & Engagement
Double paying membership to 700 by 2028, build stronger regional affiliates, and increase year-round connection.
- Inclusion & Belonging
Make ACF known for a culture of welcome and affirmation — rooted in faith and reflective of our members’ diversity.
- Leadership Development
Strengthen onboarding, succession planning, and accountability tools to ensure healthy leadership transitions and alignment.
- Revenue Diversification & Marketing
Grow diverse and sustainable revenue streams — moving beyond our reliance on conference proceeds — while aligning all marketing efforts around these strategic priorities.
- Systems & Operational Capacity
Invest in scalable platforms, staffing, and internal systems to support our members and mission with excellence.
These pillars represent our collective outlook on how ACF will support members, grow our influence, and enhance our shared purpose of advancing Christian philanthropy.
