CRE Publications for Nonprofits

"Program planning takes time and energy, but its benefits can be time-saving in the end. This section will take you through the program planning process step by step, offering examples and providing a list of resources to assist you."

An except from the "Getting Started" chapter of CRE's From Vision to Reality: A Guide to Launching a Successful Nonprofit

"What's really great is that you understand grassroots organizations. Sometimes you get consultants that are used to working with businesses. But at CRE you have sense you're working with someone who knows what it's like to slug it out in the trenches."

- Terry Greiss, ED, Irondale Ensemble Project
