Standards for Excellence Self-Assessment

The self-assessment checklist is designed to be used in conjunction with the Standards for Excellence code of ethics. Take the following steps to assess your organization against the 58 best practice Standards and develop a plan to address your opportunities for change:

  1. Download the self-assessment checklist and print it out.

  2. Using the online or printed version of the Standards for Excellence code ...

    • mark Y beside each Standard your organization currently meets;

    • mark N beside each Standard your organization does not currently meet;

    • or mark O beside each Standard that you are in the process of meeting, are not sure of meeting, or meet part of the Standard.

  3. Identify the areas around which you can make changes that are easy to institute in the short term.

  4. Identify the areas that may require a long-term plan.

  5. Call OANO for support and technical assistance. OANO members are eligible to receive educational resource packets developed for the Standards for Excellence for their internal use.

We also gather the results of self-assessment worksheets to improve our training and development programs and to share with other trainers around the state. Please fax your self-assessment to OANO (614-280-0657) if you would like to assist us in gathering this important information about Ohio's nonprofits. In return, we will provide you with up-to-date results of the checklist exercise, compiled from our statewide workshops, that you can use to benchmark your own organization.

If you have questions or would like more information, contact Jennifer Williams, executive director, at 614-280-0233 or JenniferWilliams@oano.org.
