Assessment Overview
Organisation ReadinessAssessment
How well-structured, well-run and sustainable is the organisation behind the sport?
The Organisation Readiness Assessment evaluates the foundations that every partner, funder and federation looks for first: clear governance, dependable operations, a credible path to sustainability and the ability to report on what the organisation does.
It gives clubs, schools, academies and NGOs a structured view of where they are strong today and which foundations need attention before they approach sponsors or funders.
Designed for: Clubs, schools, academies, NGOs and community sports organisations
