What is a Development Audit?
A Development Audit is an internal assessment of your organization's fundraising infrastructure and your readiness to embark on new development ventures. The Development Audit looks at the involvement of board, staff, and volunteers in the fundraising process and uncovers obstacles to maximizing the use of resources available to the organization. It further evaluates the advantages and drawbacks of your development systems and exposes areas that need to improve. Once the Development Audit is complete, the organization can begin to develop a strategic plan, building on strengths while addressing the areas unveiled as deficient.
