During this workshop, you will learn several key components to writing a grant including where to find the money and how to keep the money. Also, let us show you how to use this event to generate additional funds for your organization. Contact us today!

Professional Development Seminars

Are you a youth serving organization and are concerned about Teen Pregnancy Prevention, Sexually Transmitted Disease Prevention and Alcohol Tobacco and Other Drug Prevention and other risky behaviors in which young people can participate? Then allow Clear Vision to come in and lead your staff in a training session centered around one of these topics. The seminars are guaranteed to be interactive and informative. Seminars are designed for half-day and full-day participation. Clear Vision can show you how to use this event to generate funding for your organization.

Strategic Planning

A strategic plan is not just relegated to big businesses. Clear Vision provides strategic planning sessions on all levels: for the business owner, non-profit organization, faith community and everyone in between. We even offer individual strategic planning sessions. Yes, even as an individual you need a personal strategic life plan. You've heard the saying "many people do not plan to fail, they just fail to plan." Oftentimes we see clients write the plan and put it on the shelf. Let us help you WORK the plan in addition to writing it.

Program Evaluation

Have a program, product or system and not sure if it's achieving its maximum productivity, then evaluate it? Evaluation begins in the planning phase. Clear Vision can assess your plan, review current evaluation efforts and put you on the path to achieving the results you and your investors want to see.

Fund Development

Many businesses, non-profits, faith organizations and even individuals struggle when it comes to generating enough revenue to support their vision. This is generally the case because there is not a written fund development plan in place. A fund development plan should be consistent with your strategic plan, and your evaluation plan. Initiatives, programs, products and ministries that are not productive based on the outcome measures listed in your evaluation plan should not be funded. What are your priority areas? Do you have a mission for your money? Where is money coming from to fund your next big idea? Don't have the answers? Contact Clear Vision.

Application for 501(c)(3) Non-profit Status

Many organizations spend thousands of dollars paying "an expert" to complete their 501(c)(3) paperwork. Many also think this paperwork MUST be completed by an attorney or tax professional, which is not the case. Clear Vision Seminars and Consulting can lead your faith or community-based organization through this process. Please contact us for our unbelievably low rate.

Credit Counseling

Do you know your credit score? Do you know the categories used to determine your credit score? Would you like to improve your score? Clear Vision believes the only person who can improve your credit score is YOU! Allow Clear Vision to guide you through this process.

Homeownership Counseling

Nearly 70 percent of Americans own a home. Only 46.9 percent of African Americans are homeowners. What's preventing you from owning a home? Is it your credit score, work history, a previous foreclosure, lack of a down payment or bankruptcy? Whatever the problem, we want to help you solve it. Clear Vision is connected to housing professionals who can assist you on the road to homeownership. But first, you need a plan. Our certified housing counselors can help you with the plan. According to Black Enterprise's Declaration of Financial Empowerment, homeownership is a foundation for building wealth. Your first home does not have to be your last home. Don't get caught up on "your dream home." Get in a home and we will show you how your FIRST or current home can fund your dream home. Contact us for a consultation.

Focus Group Facilitation

Do you know the top needs of your target audience? Do you even know your target audience? Focus Group facilitation is a process by which 8-10 people participate in a scripted discussion for the expressed purpose of gathering specific information. So maybe you are thinking about launching a new product or new program and want to know if the idea is good. Clear Vision can lead a focus group session with your target audience. We can handle the recruiting, methodology, implementation, transcribing and data analysis for your focus group session. Clear Vision can perform this service with test audiences nationwide.

Capacity Building

"Give a man a fish, he eats for a day, teach a man to fish he eats for a lifetime."

The statement above is the premise for our capacity building service. Allow us to equip you with the skills to write winning proposals, evaluate your initiatives, create and implement fund development plans and manage people and/or projects. Clear Vision can work one-on-one with you increasing your skills in any or all of these areas.

Board Development

Is your current board working for you? Do they fit in one of these three categories: Doers, Donors or Door-openers? Do they give at least one of these three things: Time, Talent or Treasure? If not, you have two options: Offer a board training led by Clear Vision to motivate current board members to operate within one of these categories or begin a board search and recruitment initiative led by Clear Vision to include board members who will fit these categories. Contact us we can help.
