Why NCAT?
This assessment system was built to prompt meaningful reflection by asking the right questions—ones that encourage nonprofit leaders and teams to pause, look closely at their practices, and talk honestly about what's working and what needs attention. By breaking down complex areas of nonprofit operations into clear, focused indicators, it creates a shared language and framework for internal discussion, helping teams align, prioritize, and move forward with greater clarity and purpose.
By using this tool, organizations can gain a clear understanding of their strengths and challenges, enabling them to make informed decisions that drive long-term success.
