Shaping Our Appalachian Region, Inc. (SOAR) is inviting individuals and organizations to submit proposals for two important opportunities to work with us.
We’re looking for experienced partners who can help us take big steps forward in how we plan for the future and how we manage our finances. If you or your team has experience in strategic planning, nonprofit auditing, or working with federal grant requirements, we’d love to hear from you.
1. Help Us Rewrite Our Strategic Plan
We’re seeking a partner to lead a full rewrite of SOAR’s strategic plan. This work will involve gathering input from our team and community partners, defining clear goals for the next several years, and creating a clear roadmap to guide SOAR’s impact across the region.

2. Provide Our Annual Audit and Financial Reporting
We’re also looking for an accounting partner to handle our annual audit, prepare our IRS Form 990, and (if needed) conduct a Single Federal Audit. This work helps ensure our finances are in good shape and that we’re meeting all federal grant requirements.
