The following are summaries of the Lakeshore Nonprofit Alliance’s “Nonprofit Community Assessment,” which launched in 2019 as a first-of-its-kind data collection project to help measure the overall health of the local nonprofit community. The results (to be collected every three years) track several important outcomes for Ottawa County-area nonprofits including demographic data, retention and talent level of staff, board practices, compensation data, the degree to which organizations are following best financial and operational practices, and the overall strategic nature of nonprofits. The results of this assessment will help inform where strategic focus is needed to improve the overall effectiveness of local nonprofits.
