Diabetes Hands Foundation
Posted by Erik Johnson, Creative Director on May 8, 2009
In January of 2009, the two founders of the Diabetes Hands Foundation, Manny Hernandez and Andreina Davila, asked the Madera Group to help them envision and execute the next steps in their organizational growth. Since 2006, DHF has joined creative programming with a sophisticated web platform to build an active online community of more than 11,000 people with diabetes.
Over the course of a ten-week engagement, Madera collaborated with DHF to create a strategic development plan. The plan included:
- A strategic fundraising plan outlining projected income and expenses.
- Fundraising targets and benchmarks.
- Recommendations on organizational structure.
- Staff roles and responsibilities.
“Engaging the services of the Madera team was one of the best things that we at the Diabetes Hands Foundation could have done. Their experience and background shined at every step of the engagement. We have received great value out of working with the Madera Group and learned a lot in the process. I highly recommend them to any nonprofit seeking strategic advice on fundraising and development.”
— Manny Hernandez, President and CEO, Diabetes Hands Foundation
