term planning process (Allison, et al., 2011).

Nonprofit organizations are an integral part of our communities,
providing a vast array of services, fostering civic participation,
and building social cohesion. Although operating models and
economic drivers vary across the nonprofit sector. Nevertheless,
in order for any organization to be efficient and effective, it is
generally necessary to strive for the development of processes
that track and document why organizational changes are
necessary; why the changes mark improvement within the
organization; and how to continuously refine and re-evaluate
what the organization is doing to achieve its mission.
Efficiency is measured by the ratio of output to input. It is a
combination of reduced cost and increased benefits. Efficiency
implies the maximum possible output at a given cost for a set of

4. inputs in terms of output or, in cost terms, a certain level of
output at the minimum possible cost. Effectiveness is a degree
of goal achievement in several aspects such as goal attainment,
system resource, reputation, and multidimensional model (Choi,
N., & Jun, K. 2017). Effectiveness is the extent to which an
organization achieves its goal, assuming goals that are stable,
specific, objective, and able to be discovered. The system
resource approach regards effectiveness as “viability or
survival,” which means the capacity of an organization to
survive by obtaining or utilizing resources from environments
(Choi, N., & Jun, K. 2017). Reputation sets forth effectiveness
as a perception on effectiveness. Perceptions are collected
individuals such as clients, staff, and other stakeholders
familiar with the organization. Standards for effectiveness does
not exist because the value it is a combination of several
preferences of individuals. Effectiveness is can be classified
into several types.
Nonprofit organizations that are effective and efficient are able
to meet goals, which are the activities and methods in
performance management. Performance management is a simple
way to make an organization better. It is a holistic approach that
combines an organization’s plans, activities, assessments and
analyses with the goal of improving overall organizational
effectiveness and efficiency. Performance management can lead
a nonprofit to improve its impact on the community, to share
successes and to thrive both in times of scarcity and times of
plenty(2017). Making Organization). Effective nonprofits
engage every stakeholder in performance management.
Nonprofit organizations today are confronted with a variety of
challenges: demographic changes that are expanding the market
for the services that nonprofits provide; commercial pressures
that are pushing nonprofits into expanded competition from for-
profit providers; opposition to nonprofit advocacy activity;
increased accountability pressures; rapidly changing

5. communications technology; and many more that require
consistent evaluation of ongoing organizational effectiveness (
Lassiter, V. 2007). In the nonprofit sector, as in business and
government, performance is the ultimate test of an organization.
A high-performing organization is the one that can create a
balance between performance, quality, customer relations, and
profitability. High-performance organizations are thus defined
as groups of employees that produce desired goods or services
at higher quality with the same or fewer resources.
In nonprofit organizations a case statement critical can be when
approaching high level donors and prospects or fundraising for
new programs and campaigns. But not every agency or
organization realizes how important this short compelling
argument is in their ongoing fundraising efforts. The case
statement acts an informal script when phoning prospective
donors; all the important points are gathered in one easily
accessible document.
