Nonprofit CEO evaluations done better

Services

We help boards do better evaluations of their CEOs and set appropriate CEO compensation.

What we do and how we do it.

 

CEO/Executive Director Compensation Review

The Board of Directors is expected to set the compensation of the CEO/Executive Director, even though they may have little to no experience in deciding what is reasonable for such a position. The IRS can impose excise taxes on the organization, the CEO, and even the board members if the compensation amount is deemed unreasonable. NPCEOEvaluation can help you find a safe harbor sheltering board members from such exposure, though, by providing comparison data and by helping document that the compensation was set appropriately.

 

Produce evaluation Questionnaires

What does the board think of the strengths, weaknesses and areas for improvement for the CEO of their nonprofit? Different board members will have different opinions based on their experiences and expectations. A Board Evaluation Questionnaire compiles those opinions through a thorough set of standardized questions covering the major areas of CEO responsibilities. Nothing gets overlooked, and numerical values are assigned to each response. By using a third party such as NPCEOEvaluation.com, the board avoids questions of impartiality in the choice and presentation of questions.

Customized Evaluation Questionnaires

The standardized questions provided by NPCEOEvaluation.com are tremendously valuable because they provide a method of comparing your CEO's scores to what other CEOs are receiving, but they only tell a part of the story. Your organization has unique goals, programs, history, pressures and challenges. Many boards set goals for the CEO on an annual basis, and performance on those goals is an essential part of the evaluation process. Thus, every evaluation we do includes a customized section, to allow for feedback and evaluation on those specific questions.
