How do you know if your stakeholders are satisfied with your nonprofit's performance, impact, and value?

1 Feedback mechanisms

One of the most direct and reliable ways to assess stakeholder satisfaction is to ask for their feedback. Feedback mechanisms can take various forms, such as surveys, interviews, focus groups, testimonials, reviews, ratings, complaints, suggestions, or referrals. Feedback mechanisms can help you understand your stakeholders' needs, expectations, preferences, opinions, and experiences with your nonprofit. They can also help you identify your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and challenges, as well as areas for improvement and innovation.

2 Engagement levels

Another important indicator of stakeholder satisfaction is the level of engagement they have with your nonprofit. Engagement levels can reflect how much your stakeholders care about your cause, trust your organization, and support your work. Engagement levels can be measured by various metrics, such as donations, memberships, retention, loyalty, participation, involvement, advocacy, or word-of-mouth. Engagement levels can help you evaluate your stakeholder relationships, loyalty, and retention, as well as your outreach, communication, and marketing strategies.

3 Outcome indicators

A third key indicator of stakeholder satisfaction is the outcome indicators that measure the results and impact of your nonprofit's activities. Outcome indicators can show how well your nonprofit is achieving its mission, vision, and goals, and how it is contributing to social change and value creation. Outcome indicators can be quantitative or qualitative, such as numbers, percentages, stories, case studies, or testimonials. Outcome indicators can help you demonstrate your nonprofit's effectiveness, efficiency, and accountability, as well as your social return on investment and value proposition.

Outcomes do speak louder than words. Look for trends. Participation in events and volunteering. Contributions which are painfully quantifiable. Questions and two-way communications. Referrals. All of these are outcome indicators.

4 Benchmarking and best practices

A fourth key indicator of stakeholder satisfaction is the benchmarking and best practices that compare your nonprofit's performance and impact with other similar or relevant organizations or standards. Benchmarking and best practices can help you understand your nonprofit's position and reputation in the sector, as well as the gaps and opportunities for improvement and innovation. Benchmarking and best practices can be based on various sources, such as industry reports, research studies, peer reviews, awards, or certifications.

5 Stakeholder satisfaction index

A fifth key indicator of stakeholder satisfaction is the stakeholder satisfaction index that aggregates and summarizes the data and information from the previous indicators into a single score or rating. The stakeholder satisfaction index can help you monitor and communicate your overall stakeholder satisfaction level, as well as track and compare your progress and performance over time or across different stakeholder groups. The stakeholder satisfaction index can be calculated using various methods, such as weighted averages, formulas, or algorithms.

6 Stakeholder satisfaction strategy

The last key indicator of stakeholder satisfaction is the stakeholder satisfaction strategy that outlines the actions and steps you will take to improve and maintain your stakeholder satisfaction level. The stakeholder satisfaction strategy can help you plan and implement your stakeholder engagement, feedback, outcome, benchmarking, and index activities, as well as align them with your nonprofit's mission, vision, goals, and values. The stakeholder satisfaction strategy can also help you allocate your resources, prioritize your actions, and evaluate your results and impact.

I think the term "stakeholder" is over used. Feedback from the beneficiaries of a charity is the most important aspect...they are the reason for the charity's existence in the first place. It is the measuring of beneficiary progress as an outcome, or collection of outcomes, which informs us as to how we are best serving them.

You do NOT want to end up with tools that don't report back easily requiring a ton of manual work. Avoid this by making sure the tech team is not an afterthought. Ensure your team is up for rolling the feedback mechanisms out on time. Work with them to find the best mechanisms to collect, measure, and report.
