Unfortunately, many nonprofits lack the organizational standards and metrics that funders demand of those they might consider supporting.
That’s why we’ve created the Sustainability Scorecard, a unique operational assessment and data analysis tool that will set you on the path towards organizational sustainability.
What gets measured gets improved upon! Track your year-to-date performance for face-to-face meetings with donors, in-kind gifts, your monthly donor value and donor retention rate. Goals are set based on your performance in the previous fiscal year-to-date, and progress is updated daily.
