BOARD ASSESSMENT
The key to achieving success is knowing the strengths of your charitable organization. It is equally important to understand the areas in need of improvement. The assessment is intended to focus the discussion and direction of board members and staff around capacity building objectives. The survey of board members can be helpful in receiving key data and perceptions to assess the impact and effectiveness of the organization. Best practices call for an annual board assessment. The data received will help the board understand areas of deficiency as an organization as well as the celebration opportunities. Conducted annually, assessments can be used as a benchmark for success.
Foundation Innovation’s Board Member Assessment of your existing charity will provide a review of the following areas:
-
Infrastructure
-
Board of Directors’ Composition
-

Foundation Innovation will conduct the survey, compile the data, and organize into a powerpoint for review by Board of Directors and staff. Complete survey results will also be given to the foundation for further analysis.
