This tool provides all interested organizations with an comprehensive assessment tool. Format of the tool is an Excel file (contact us to obtain the pdf version of the tool). Indications are provided and entering the data in the tables is easy; final results are automatically compiled into a spreadsheet and a graph, allowing you to see how your organization is performing. "The tool specifically focuses on indicators of evaluative thinking for a critical subset of organizational capacities at a particular point in time: Mission, Strategic Planning, Governance, Finance, Leadership, Fund Development/Raising, Evaluation, Client Relationships, Program Development, Communication & Marketing, Technology Acquisition & Training, Staff Development, Human Resources, Business Venture Development and Alliances and Collaborations." Other tools for more specific evaluations (of human resources, board members, or technology for instance) are available at http://www.brunerfoundation.org. Also available in French.
