Board of Directors Self Evaluation

Goal Directive

The board of directors will identify meaningful performance measures and tools for the program(s) and for the organization as a whole.
Organizational performance will be reviewed annually by the board in conjunction with an evaluation of the ED/CEO.
Funders will see results of this review in a progressive strengthening of the organization's work, in increased respect for the organization within its field, and in a broadening impact of the current or potential grant.

Evaluation measures mentioned in the proposal exist and are used by the organization.
Program performance is compared with that of leaders in the field.

Funders’ Questions For Nonprofits		Best Board Practices


How do you evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of your programs and operations?		Qualitative and quantitative evaluation measures are in place.

How are the results of your evaluation used?		Evaluation results are used to improve programs and operations, and to monitor the impact of the organization's work.

Does the board review evaluation reports annually? How does this evaluation influence planning for the subsequent year?		Results are reported to funders, and are reviewed annually by the board. The ED/CEO is held accountable for outcomes, and charged with ensuring improvement, as necessary. Without such accountability, organizations risk achieving highly variable results, outcomes and competitive advantage.
