Nonprofit Data Audit Checklist (Free Download)

Before an Assessment, identify exactly where chaos is hiding.

This free checklist walks you through 24 simple yes/no checks across 7 key areas: DataFlow, source of truth, data quality, reporting readiness, workflows, and grant specific readiness.

Score yourself and see where you land:

• Fragile (0–6) — Reporting will likely require significant cleanup under tight deadlines
• Workable (7–12) — Functional, but gaps may show up when it matters most
• Solid (13–18) — A few focused fixes away from consistent reliability
• Strong (19–24) — Clear, reliable, funder-ready data

Takes less than 5 minutes to complete.

→ Once you have your score, the next step is working with a nonprofit data integrity consultant (hi, it’s me). You’ll get a full review of your systems, prioritized issues, and a fix-first roadmap—so you know exactly what to clean up, and in what order.

Note: If you score below 13, it may be time to get extra support to fix nonprofit data errors before your next deadline.
