What’s inside

The five areas you’ll score

Area 1
Governance

Board role clarity, meeting structure, conflicts of interest and strategic planning.

Area 2
Operations

Documented processes, clear roles, task tracking and operational risk management.

Area 3
Financial Visibility

Monthly accounts, approved budget, cash flow visibility and funder reporting.

Area 4
People

HR policy, regular check-ins, onboarding process and volunteer management.

Area 5
External Presence

Website currency, stakeholder communication, social media and public alignment with mission.

How it works

Score each statement 1 (not in place), 2 (partially in place) or 3 (fully in place). Tally your sub-totals by area, then use the interpretation key to identify your two priority areas and build a 90-day improvement plan to take to your board.
