Assess Your Organization’s Capacity in 7 Areas

Nonprofits should have a well-documented track record in developing programs that have a meaningful impact upon the community and the clients served; the ability to exercise good stewardship over financial and human resources; the ability to manage relationships among various community constituencies; and the ability to respond to change. Those organizations that make the investment in building are more likely to be in a position to sustain themselves over the long term.

What are your organization’s strengths?

What areas do you need to shore up?
