Organizational Assessment

Laura is also well-qualified to conduct a comprehensive organizational health assessment. A quality assessment can be a powerful tool to guide decision-making by board and staff. Laura’s assessments are customized but generally address programs, strategy, governance, staff management, financial health, policies, equity, and culture.

Reasons that nonprofits elect to complete an organizational assessment:

• Feeling stuck/Uncertainty about what the organization really needs to move forward
• Board lacks a clear picture of the organization’s operations, strengths and weaknesses
• Organization would like assistance in developing a capacity building plan
• There is disagreement about how to resolve a problem within the organization, and an outside perspective will help
• A first step utilizing outside technical assistance
