How are you ever going to hit the mark if you don’t even know where the target is? This is the most important reason why needs assessments are critical to nonprofits: to identify the actual needs that your target audience has and not your perceived ideas about the target audience’s needs. Organizations can only make the most effective, appropriate, and timely programs and services by understanding actual needs, existing assets, and the system currently in play. In this way, needs assessments are critical to decision-making.
But what does a needs assessment tell you? What are its characteristics? How can it be used? What does the process look like?
Check out this whitepaper to answer those questions (and be sure to review the sources for more information as well).
