Tier 3

Our first task after being partnered with inDEFINED was to complete a SWOT analysis. We thoroughly researched the nonprofit through frequent meetings with the board, interviewing each of the board members, and learning more about other nonprofits doing similar work to serve as benchmarks. During this process we obtained a lot of valuable information from the board about what the original plan was, their new goals for inDEFINED, and everything that has already been done in terms of finances, branding, location, etc. Everything we learned about inDEFINED allowed us to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to the organization and develop a series of projects for the second half of the year. A summary of our work and the SWOT itself can be found in the inDEFINED SWOT analysis below. 

After a few pivots, our team completed our project for inDEFINED as outlined in the inDEFINED Final Project. Our final project focused on revamping the mission statement and developing a plan to start building the nonprofit up from there. We started with a market scan to identify gaps in what is already available for inDEFINED to fill and to look for potential partners. From there, we finalized a new mission statement with the board to provide a strong foundation for the rest of the steps. We looked into social media and branding techniques to increase awareness of inDEFINED, how to become an official 501c3 nonprofit, developed a strategic plan for the future of the nonprofit, and created a visual deck to convert information to potential partners, team members, and stakeholders. 

The year's work with inDEFINED is summarized in our inDEFINED Final Presentation.
