Organizational effectiveness has been defined as the ability of an organization to fulfill its mission through sound management, strong governance and a persistent rededication to achieving results. Effective nonprofits are mission-driven, adaptable, customer-focused, entrepreneurial, outcomes-oriented and sustainable.
Several assessment tools are available on this site to assess your organization's strengths and weaknesses in the above areas. A library of organizational effectiveness resources is also available to assist you in strengthening areas of weakness.
