COPE® is an acronym for Culture of Philanthropy Evaluation® and is Demont Associates’ assessment tool used to evaluate a nonprofit organization’s current “culture of philanthropy.”
COPE® was developed by Demont Associates through extensive experience over four decades with various nonprofits in the northeastern United States. Since 2010, this tool has been aiding nonprofits in preparing for significant fundraising campaigns and building a strong culture of philanthropy.
COPE® helps your not-for-profit:
Get a clear starting point for tracking your philanthropic performance over time.
Discover specific areas where your philanthropic efforts can be enhanced.
Recognize and reward the achievements of your staff and board.
Learn best practices and focus areas for achieving exceptional philanthropic success.
Evaluate your preparedness for major gift initiatives or large campaigns.
We conduct a confidential survey with your key constituents—donors, staff, volunteers, and partners—who have meaningful interaction with your organization.
After collecting responses, we provide a detailed written analysis and executive summary, including scores and actionable insights.
While experts provide valuable reports, involving your staff and board in the evaluation process leads to more relevant and actionable insights. This approach fosters ownership and drives meaningful improvements.
Speak to us for a fee tailored to your organization and number of survey participants. Written analysis of results included.
An in-person presentation to your leaders with the opportunity for questions and discussion is available as an add-on for an additional fee.
We offer pro bono services for smaller organizations who may need financial assistance.
