The scoring system
One number.
Six dimensions.
No guessing.
The NGO Readiness Score gives every organisation a single, comparable number — computed from verified documents and real programme activity. Here is exactly how it is calculated.
Two scores, one view
We track two distinct scores to give a complete picture of an NGO's standing.
Baseline Score
Based purely on the 4 document verification sections — Legal, Financial, Impact, and Digital. Maximum 75 points. This score shows credibility at a point in time.
Components
Current Score
Baseline plus 25 activity points from outreach reports filed in the last 12 months. Maximum 100 points. This score shows active, ongoing programme delivery.
Additional components
⚠ Activity scores expire after 12 months. Keep filing reports to maintain your Current Score.
