Over the past year, WIN has taken an important step forward—engaging board members, staff, and community voices in a strategic planning process to help guide our future. Rooted in our mission of helping people create sustainable futures through community building, housing opportunities, and financial education, this work reflects a shared vision of stronger, more equitable communities.
“The plan reflects our core values—being community driven, acting with integrity, advancing justice, showing respect, and inspiring hope,” said Executive Director S. Barbara Busch. “But what matters most if how this work shows up in people’s lives. As we grow, every dollar raised helps us meet real needs—whether that’s stable housing, financial education, or a stronger sense of community.”
Through this process, WIN identified four priority areas: Financial Stability and Growth, Awareness and Visibility, Capacity Building, and Program Expansion. Together, these focus areas will help us strengthen our foundation while expanding the support we provide.
A key goal is increasing annual revenue to $3 million by 2029—an important step that will allow WIN to serve more individuals and families, respond to changing community needs, and invest in long-term solutions that create lasting impact. Along the way, we’re also building financial reserves, strengthening leadership, and expanding our outreach so more people can access our programs.
This work would not have been possible without the generous support of Interact for Health. We are deeply grateful for their partnership and their investment in the communities we serve.
As we move forward, we’re excited to turn this plan into action—continuing to grow, adapt, and deepen our impact. Every step we take is focused on one goal: helping individuals and families build stable, sustainable futures.
