Welcome
to "Are We There Yet?"(AWTY), a capacity benchmarking tool
for the
nonprofit sector. Developed for Connecting Up Australia by Digital Business
Insights, AWTY will initially allow you to benchmark your technology
capacity against almost 1,000 nonprofits who completed our detailed
survey in October 2008. Then, as more and more nonprofit organisations
use the AWTY benchmark tool online, the richer the benchmark
data becomes.
Soon we
will add a section that allows you to benchmark your efforts to be
'green' and environmentally responsible, and other areas of nonprofit capacity
benchmarks will follow over time. The real
advantage of 'Are We There Yet?' is that it also helps you answer
the question of 'What Now?' Complete the survey and then we will direct
you to as many resources as we can that will help you get to the next
stage.
So how
does this work?
1. Click
the 'Are We There Yet?' button at the bottom of this page.
2.
Complete the benchmark survey and click Submit. The Organisation
and Email fields are optional but we'll need your email address if you want
your report emailed to you.
3. After
you hit the Submit button, your detailed benchmark report will be
displayed, showing how your nonprofit organisation compares to other nonprofits
of a similar type and size. You can print this report or email it
to yourself by clicking the relevant button.
4. Click
Next Steps at the bottom of the page and read some cases studies
about how donations obtained through the Donortec program have assisted
nonprofits.
5. Click
Directory at the bottom of the Page and see the service providers
and products that other nonprofits in your category are using. (The top
grouping are those most commonly used but they are not in set order
because these change over time.) Soon we will also be adding a link to
TechFinder, to help you find technology support services in your local
area.
