Welcome to Acid Test!
Acid Test will assess the health of your organisation, focusing attention on strengths and areas for development. It will particularly help those who are planning a significant step forward or a next stage in development.
Why is Acid Test important?
The 3rd sector is increasingly required to adopt enterprising ways of thinking and operating. Funding is shifting away from grants towards commissions, contracts, loans and equity. While grant-makers tend to focus on the technical detail of particular projects, lenders and partners want to know is the organisation worth investing in?
... Acid Test helps you explore these critical factors.
Are you Ready to Assess the Health of your Organisation?
Acid Test provides an assessment of your organisation's health and provides clear feedback on how to address key areas for concern. This is especially relevant if your organisation is considering a major project or step forward.
Ever Wondered how you Compare with Others in the Sector?
Acid Test will also compare your organisation with others in your sector. It will aggregate all data entered to identify trends, and performance measures. Your situation within the aggregated data will be anonymous.
How can I use the reports?
- The reports provide invaluable feedback for joint working within your senior team and board to improve your organisational health and improve your attractiveness to investors.

Are you Ready to get Started?
