What do users have to say about NCAT?
"The indicators provide a catalyst for conversations that non-profit leaders know we should be having and introducing questions that we should be having, but may not know we should be having. The tool did not feel overwhelming to me – knowing leadership can focus on one assessment or all nine. It gives me that flexibility.
