Model Health Checklist
A 2-minute self-assessment to evaluate if your NGO model is clearly communicated to funders and stakeholders.
What You'll Assess
This checklist helps you diagnose 10 critical dimensions of model communication. Use it to identify gaps between how you think your model is understood and how stakeholders actually perceive it.
Problem-Solution Clarity
Can stakeholders immediately understand what problem you solve and how?
Model Articulation
Is your theory of change explicit, or buried in jargon?
Impact Translation
Do you translate field stories into funder-friendly metrics?
Operational Transparency
Can funders see how money flows into outcomes?
Stakeholder Mapping
Have you identified who needs to understand your model—and tailored communication accordingly?
Evidence Base
Do you cite data, research, or case studies to validate your approach?
Scalability Signal
Does your model communicate how it can grow beyond current operations?
Narrative Cohesion
Do your pitch deck, website, and proposals tell the same story?
Funder Readiness
Are you equipped to answer the 'why this approach?' question in 2 minutes or less?
Feedback Loops
Do you show how community input shapes your model evolution?
