Strategic Planning and Development

"If you build it, they will come."

- Not True.

Leadership doesn’t happen by accident. It happens by design.
At STRIVE3, we don’t just help you get from Point A to Point B — we map the full journey from where you are to where your mission is meant to go. Whether you’re a nonprofit seeking to lead a movement, a government agency launching a new initiative, or a brand working to break through a crowded market, our strategic planning process lights the way.

Our approach is bold, rigorous, and deeply collaborative. We help you clarify your purpose, align your messaging, and develop a roadmap that positions your organization not just to compete — but to lead.

From Vision to Velocity

Creating a brand is important. But building one that lasts — one that connects deeply and rises above the noise — takes something more. That’s where STRIVE3 comes in.
Our team leverages decades of experience, cutting-edge tools, and audience-tested techniques to help you gain momentum, strengthen influence, and stay on course.

Every plan begins with a custom-built strategy tailored to your mission, your goals, and your audience. Whether you need to boost donor retention, galvanize support, or activate new markets, we bring strategic clarity and creative precision that deliver measurable outcomes.

Blueprints that Build Impact

We don’t stop at strategy. We bring the plan to life. Our proprietary STRIVE3 Blueprint combines high-level insight with practical execution — from refining donor or customer engagement models to implementing smart, sustained touchpoint strategies that deepen connection over time.

We've guided national nonprofits through organizational transformations, supported federal agencies with outreach strategy, and helped mission-driven brands sharpen their purpose and accelerate their growth.

With STRIVE3, your plan doesn’t sit on a shelf — it moves your mission forward.

In experiencing the harmful effects of COVID lockdowns on the small business community, it was a no-brainer for me to jump on board to help lift up this new endeavor. The efforts of the STRIVE3 team to make this mission a reality was great to witness.

Save the American Dream

In 2020, when the pandemic was in full swing, the small business community was in confusion. Finding relevant information to help preserve operations was in short supply. Like most businesses, STRIVE3 witnessed this struggle first hand. But we didn’t sit idly by. We stepped into the role of helping the small business community during COVID and launched savetheamericandream.com for the purpose of becoming that one centralized portal to come alongside and aid small business owners. Our concept and non-profit start-up gained an audience and even national attention.
