How it works
Each nonprofit is paired with a CVNL consultant to create a meaningful assessment process and set up with access to the iCAT online assessment tool. Nonprofits choose who they'd like to have participate and set their own timeframes for completion of the online tool. Invited participants spend 20-30 minutes completing the iCAT online. The CVNL consultant presents key findings and recommendations to board and/or staff and facilitates discussion of next steps to utilize results and build organizational capacity. Typical iCAT process takes between 4 to 6 weeks from start to finish.
