      Why is it called a blueprint?

      A blueprint is a guide for things to come as well as a storage device for decisions already made. Good blueprints, like good buildings, fit their environment, reflect a thoughtful regard for resources, and are carefully engineered and aesthetically pleasing. Blueprints guide the work of masters and are informed by craftsmen. Blueprints can be adjusted as work proceeds and they offer a starting point for future improvements. Good blueprints require a commitment to listen to those for whom they are drawn and to use a common grammar to communicate the results of countless sketches and discarded first drafts. Blueprints are perfect metaphors for philanthropic planning. This document will help you plan for the coming year.
