Organisational capacity assessment:
Through our 'capacity assessment' and our 'pre-grants application scoring' tools we are able to support non-profit organisations, especially youth and community organisations, to better understand their business in order to identify key priorities for growth and development and in the assessment of their application to Trusts and Grant Giving bodies (especially where a scoring system is being used, such as with the Florida Children's Trust funding program).
A particular strength is our ability to help organisations evaluate their work through the capturing and summarisation of organisational practices and outcomes such that:
- Monitoring focuses on the most effective, relevant and appropriate imperatives;
- Training and support resources are better deployed where they will have the greatest impact;
-
Evaluation is based on evidence.
