A unique service of NSS is our free online assessment. The assessment provides three benefits for nonprofit organizations:

• It allows nonprofits to reflect on current progress and metrics,
• It enables nonprofits to evaluate their organization relative to industry benchmarks, and
• It offers a comparison tool for nonprofits to measure their success against other nonprofit organizations.

According to the Atlantis Press, by far the most important reasons for organizations performing self-assessment are:

• To provide a driver for continuous improvement and
• To identify areas for improvement.
