Partner and beneficiary feedback system design

Signs you need a feedback system

You complete programmes and move on, but you have no reliable way to hear from the people you work with about what is and isn't working.

What you'll achieve

A structured, ongoing feedback loop with partners and beneficiaries that improves your programmes and strengthens relationships.

    Feedback Resources

    A resource page from Feedback Labs that groups tools for listening to the people organisations serve into 3 stages. Getting started includes research, a feedback tools repository and funder listening guides. Establishing practice includes the Feedback Quiz, a crash course and Listen4Good's step-by-step guide to equity-centred feedback. Later resources include LabStorms, a fellowship and a conversation deck. Nonprofits and funders use it to build feedback loops.

    Happy Beneficiaries

    A 3-question pulse survey that measures beneficiary satisfaction in about 2 minutes. It asks how likely people are to recommend the organisation, why they gave that score and what could improve. Nonprofits run it continuously at events, after services or at other contact points, then read an AI-written report with scores and suggested actions. Use is free with sign-up.
