About the iCAT

The Impact Capacity Assessment Tool (iCAT) is an assessment and planning tool that helps your nonprofit better understand its organizational capacity based on direct input from those who know you best—your team and key stakeholders.

What Do You Get with the iCAT?

The iCAT results are generated as a written report containing scores in six (6) capacity areas and up to 28 sub-capacity areas, along with an organizational capacity stage, and a series of recommendations intended to help your organization achieve maximum societal impact.

Why Participate in the iCAT?

By participating in the iCAT and its research-based questions, you will reflect on and learn how your organization can better deliver on its mission. OneOC will guide you through administering the iCAT, interpreting the results, and planning for improvement.

*The iCAT is offered as a complimentary service for OneOC Premium Members.

About the SED

The Service Enterprise Diagnostic (SED) is an online assessment tool that measures the degree to which an organization is a service enterprise, including the organization’s strengths and challenges.

What Do You Get with the SED?

• Estimated Service Value of Volunteers
• Recommendations for the Pathway to Becoming a Service Enterprise

Why Participate in the SED?

We recommend the SED to organizations that are interested in evaluating the effectiveness of their existing volunteer programs or who are looking to assess their readiness to strategically embed skills-based volunteers into their organizations.

About the Nonprofit Sustainability Assessment (MAP)

Nonprofit sustainability lies at the intersection of exceptional impact and financial viability. The Nonprofit Sustainability Assessment offers nonprofit professionals and board members a step-by-step guide to move your organization towards this intersection. The MAP is an accessible framework that combines financial and programmatic goals into an integrated strategy.

What Do You Get with the MAP?

Organizations that participate in the MAP will:

• Engage in critical conversations about each of their organization’s programs, including how each contributes to the overall impact of the organizational mission and how it is executed.
• Conduct a profitability assessment of each of their programs.
• Develop action steps for each program to inform organizational strategy, staffing allocation, and funding mix.

Why Participate in the MAP?

Creating a Matrix MAP for your organization allows you to develop and adjust your programmatic strategy year-over-year. This will help you budget effectively for your programs and help you diversify your funding sources for executing your mission.
