Performance Indicators

In response to the new landscape of the non-profit world and in an effort to flourish and attract new attention and donors, the TSN has developed these performance indicators to assist TS Centers to become ore robust and vibrant participants in the non-profit business.

The goals of this process are:

  • Increased inter-center communication
  • Increased level of performance
  • Increased ability to attract funding partners, technology partners, and skilled volunteers
  • Fiscal viability for TSN and TS Centers after 2019
  • Increased visibility of the TSN and all TS Centers

The TSN Performance Indicator Tool is a self-assessment instrument that helps TS Centers identify capacity strengths and challenges and establish capacity building tools. As such, it is primarily a diagnostic and learning tool. In addition, the Performance Indicators provides a useful framework for measuring growth in capacity over time.

The results from the Performance Indicators should guide the development of an annual work plan and contribute to the establishment of a long term vision for the areas where TSN resources can be directed in support of capacity building.

The Performance Indicators Instrument is available by clicking here. The file contains instructions for completing the instrument.

When you have completed filling in the Performance Indicators Instrument, please send it electronically as an e-mail attachment to Susan O'Connor at smoconnor@timothysmithnetwork.org.

CTC Start-Up Manual from CTCNet

First published in 1997, the CTC Center Start-Up Manual is widely recognized as a principal guide for establishing CTCs and serves as an organized patchwork of CTC experiences. With support from the Surdna Foundation, the manual was updated in January 2003 to reflect developing CTC experiences and needs.

The CTCNet Start-Up Manual is available online at: http://ctcnet.org/what/resources/startup_manual.htm
