Where does your nonprofit stand on digital?

Ten minutes, eighteen questions, no account required. You get a reading of your practices across five dimensions, and a link that only you decide to share.

Ten minutes
Eighteen questions across five screens, plus a final page about the size of your organisation.
Anonymous
No account, no organisation name requested. You receive a link to your result, and you alone decide whether to pass it on.
No strings attached
The result is complete and readable without providing anything. An email address is offered only afterwards, to receive a copy.

Step 1 of 7

Before you start

These questions are about facts, not about what ought to be done. No answer is expected over another, and there is no correct trajectory. You alone decide afterwards whether to share the link to your result, and with whom.

Answer as close to your real situation as you can. A flattering assessment helps nobody, starting with you.

Five dimensions, four loops

The Alliance Numérique & IA pour les associations has identified four self-reinforcing causal loops that hold back the sector's digital transformation. Those loops describe a system. The five dimensions below translate them to the scale of a single organisation.

  • Funding loop

    Steering and decisions

    The place digital holds in your decision-making and in your budgets.

  • Technology trust loop

    Tools and data

    What your team works with day to day, and where your information lives.

  • Skills loop

    Skills and support

    What your team knows how to do, and the people it can lean on.

  • Support ecosystem loop

    Continuity and backup

    What happens the day something breaks, and who you turn to.

  • Technology trust loop

    AI use

    Actual use within the team, and the position your board has taken. Choosing not to go there is a perfectly valid position.

Methodology

Framework version 1.

The assessment covers eighteen questions across five dimensions. Each question offers four levels, from the most common to the most established. A dimension's score is the average of its questions, mapped to a named stage. No overall score is calculated, and no average of the five dimensions is produced: adding up practices that share neither cost nor effect would say nothing useful.

The five dimensions map to the four causal loops identified by the Alliance Numérique & IA pour les associations, drawn from forty interviews with foundations, nonprofits and support organisations. The Tools dimension and the AI dimension both belong to the technology trust loop.

A declarative self-assessment measures a perception, not a verified reality. It replaces neither an audit nor hands-on support. Two people from the same organisation may answer differently, and that gap is itself useful information.

The framework may be reused and adapted, with credit to the source. Write to us if you would like to adapt it for your network.

What we keep

Your answers, the calculated stages, the declared size and budget, and the date. No organisation name, no personal name, no plain-text IP address. An email address is stored only if you ask to receive a copy of the report.

Who publishes this tool

This self-assessment is published by Inpactum, a platform connecting impact-driven organisations with people skilled in digital. In other words, we sell services in the field this assessment measures. We say so here rather than in the footer: the framework was written to be useful and reusable, not to steer you towards our offers, and no tool or provider recommendation appears in your result.

The Alliance Numérique & IA

This work is offered as a contribution to the Alliance's tooling working group, which brings together more than two hundred and fifty nonprofits, foundations and technology players around the digital transformation of the nonprofit sector.
