Integration Readiness
Assessment
Explore where your organization stands on the integration journey. Every outcome is a starting point — there are no wrong answers, only different paths forward.
Does your organization currently have a central database or CRM for tracking donor relationships?
This could be DonorPerfect, Salesforce NPSP, Blackbaud, or any system where donor information is stored. Spreadsheets count too — they got you here.
Integration Readiness Levels
Enterprise Intelligence Principles
“Connect What Already Works”
Connect Before You Replace
Work with the systems you've built. Integration is about linking what exists, not starting over.
Measure What Matters to the Mission
Outcomes over outputs. Track what demonstrates impact to the people and communities you serve.
Data Serves the People
Intelligence should amplify human impact. Every dashboard should make someone's work easier or someone's life better.
One View, Many Voices
Unified doesn't mean uniform. Each program, team, and funder sees the data they need, all drawn from the same connected source.
