NEEDS ASSESSMENT

Most organizations have a “glass half empty” mindset. Through our approach not only do we question the size of the glass, we identify what is in it! Over the years we have found that organizations that are serious about measuring their progress and evaluating their outcomes typically engage in a Needs Assessment. Our assessment identifies your areas of greatest need, identify your strengths and the best approach for you to achieve their goals.
Our organization-wide Needs Assessment is an inclusionary process that not only identifies potential volunteers, financial contributors and additional resources, but will also create an environment where key stakeholders and supporters will feel empowered to share thoughts and ideas, ultimately strengthening your relationship with them.
