Faith-based organisations
Why an effective board is paramount for organisational prosperity
Board reviews are a vital compass for faith-based organisations, guiding them towards greater mission alignment, accountability, and stewardship. Our reviews examine the board’s overall effectiveness in upholding its mission, purpose and organisational responsibilities, ensuring decisions reflect both ethical governance and the organisation’s core values. A comprehensive assessment may also include evaluating the contributions of individual board members in supporting the mission.
By conducting regular board reviews, faith-based organisations can identify strengths, highlight areas for improvement, and implement tailored strategies that enhance governance practices, nurture innovation in ministry, and reduce risks. Ultimately, embracing the insights from board reviews empowers boards to respond faithfully to changing community needs, strengthen trust among congregants and stakeholders, and achieve sustainable impact in fulfilling their spiritual mission.

How Board Benchmarking helps organisations in the faith-based sector
Board Benchmarking empowers faith-based organisations to conduct comprehensive board reviews that strengthen mission alignment and organisational stewardship. And stronger boards mean stronger ministries. By comparing their board’s effectiveness, structure, and practices against our extensive database, faith-based organisations gain valuable insights into areas of strength and opportunities for growth. Leveraging this comparative analysis, boards can identify gaps in governance, strategic discernment, and diversity, enabling them to set informed goals and prioritise initiatives that enhance both ministry impact and organisational sustainability.
THE GOLD STANDARD
Unlock easy to understand data and insights with our benchmarked reporting
Because we have such a large database we can also ensure that large organisations are benchmarked against larger organisations and smaller ones against smaller ones in the same industry or sector. This adds further validity and value to the benchmarked results.
The process starts with a world class, easy to use survey
The 7 point response scale provides just the right calibration of survey responses. Our surveys are even designed to work with a screen reader to cater for those who are vision impaired.
