The NFP Assessment Service helps nonprofit leaders and NFP Boards understand and set priorities for capacity building to enhance organizational resiliency and impact.

The service includes an assessment survey, report, and debrief session – and can be integrated with other services including strategic planning.

Our organization has had to grow and adapt quickly to the significant emerging needs in our community, and as many others have, we have done this on limited resources and capacity. Throughout that growth as we focus on excellent service delivery and programs, it can be challenging to find the time and resources to take a step back and identify where we need support and change structurally to ensure sustainability. We have been grateful for Capacity Canada in supporting us to identify these needs and possible solutions.

TK Pritchard
Executive Director, SHORE Centre

“We are grateful to have worked with Capacity Canada to dive into our organization’s capacity. Insights from our board and staff identified opportunities to strengthen our organization. Our team thoroughly enjoyed our sensemaking session, and we have come out stronger as a result of this process.

Meaghan Richardson
Director of Development, Food for Life
