NEW SMARTKPIS.COM REPORT RANKS THE TOP NGO KPIS OF 2011-2012

June 20, 2013, Melbourne, Australia – The KPI Institute, the global authority on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) research and education announces the launch of a new report in its 2011-2012 edition of its popular Top 25 series of reports.

Non-profit organizations (NPOs) include all entities where funds are not distributed to owners, but are used in pursuing the organization’s reasons of existence. Several examples would be charitable organizations, trade unions and public arts organizations. Most governments and government agencies meet this definition, but in most countries they are considered a separate type of organization and not counted as non-profit organizations. Non-governmental organizations (NGOs), sometimes called civil society organizations, are entities where there is no governmental participation. KPIs measure the efficiency in raising the resources needed and the impact of their redistribution.

The Top 25 NGO KPIs of 2011-2012 report compiles the most popular 25 KPIs used by the NGO.
