GEM Assessment Tool for Non-Profit Boards
Administrator Experience
The administrator will select the appropriate terminology to match your non-profit organization. For example, many non-profits are called “organization” or “association.” Please select the appropriate terminology to match your non-profit. This customization allows the GEM Assessment program to select relevant questions that best fit your board.
Next, the administrator edits the welcome letter to include the deadline, adds the names of participants, and sends the invitations to participants with their confidential login information.
Once the GEM Assessment process is initiated, the administrator waits for the participants to respond. Participant answers are confidential. The administrator cannot access any individual responses.
The administrator will receive email notifications as participants complete the assessment.
The administrator can track participant progress and send reminders to encourage participants to complete the assessment.
Once the participants have completed the assessment, the administrator will run the report. The administrator may choose to run the Free Report (a two-page quick overview) that identifies areas for growth according to the GEM Model...
...or the Full Report that highlights strengths, weaknesses, and areas of key differences. This 25-page detailed report provides the board’s responses to all 40 questions, and tips and suggestions to enhance governance oversight and effectiveness.
In subsequent evaluations, the administrator may generate complimentary Comparison Reports that highlight change and growth.

Participant answers are confidential. The administrator cannot access any individual responses.
Once the GEM Assessment is complete, each participant may print out his or her scoring summary to better participate in the discussion of the GEM Assessment results.
