Frequently Asked Questions About Our Nonprofit Technology Assessments
A nonprofit technology assessment is an expert-guided evaluation of your nonprofit's current technological infrastructure, digital maturity, and security posture. These assessments can be broad or narrow in scope, and they help your organization identify technology-related strengths and opportunities for improvement so you can construct, maintain, and secure your tech stack in the best possible way to further your mission.
Tech Impact’s guided technology assessments are generally more affordable than other firms’ because they’re priced with nonprofits in mind, and they’re more thorough than the free, self-guided options available online. Rather than being left to your own devices to conduct your assessment, review the results, and develop an action plan, our tech experts will take a personalized approach to walk your organization through every step of the process.
The Tech Impact team will provide your nonprofit with:
- A comprehensive report detailing all strengths and improvement areas under the category of assessment you chose
- A roadmap of potential projects to address the improvement needs in your report, including predicted timelines and budgets for each one
- A one-on-one review session to go over these two documents and answer any questions you may have
You’ll also have access to our free Policy Builder tool if you’d like to use it as part of your implementation plan.
No! The Tech Impact team will guide your nonprofit through the entire process, translate technical jargon into easily understandable terms, and work with you on any implementations or projects you choose to move forward with.
