It’s important to do an annual organizational self-assessment. The assessment’s findings help you identify capacity strengths and challenges so that your organization can create capacity building goals. Here are the most important areas to assess:

 Leadership capacity: Your leadership’s ability to inspire, prioritize, make decisions, provide direction, and know how to innovate existing static programs into promising fundable programs.

 Adaptive capacity: Your board and leaders’ ability to monitor, assess, and respond to internal and external changes related to grantseeking and managing grant awards.

 Management capacity: Your leadership’s ability to ensure the effective and efficient use of organizational resources, such as in-kind soft cash match for grant awards.

 Operational capacity: Your leadership’s ability to implement key organizational and programmatic functions to fulfill the written promise of a funded grant request.
