The Tech Stack & Data Readiness Audit Checklist

Is your data actually ready for intelligent fundraising?

AI can accelerate donor engagement, but only if your CRM and data foundation can support it. Before your team invests in new technology, it’s worth asking an honest question: are your systems structured and reliable enough to get real results?

This self-assessment checklist helps advancement, development, and digital teams identify exactly where they stand — and where gaps might slow implementation, limit AI performance, or undermine ROI before you even get started.

What’s inside the checklist:

  • A five-category self-assessment covering CRM structure, data quality, system integrations, segmentation maturity, and organizational AI readiness
  • Scored sections so you can pinpoint your strongest areas and your biggest risks
  • A results framework that tells you what your score means — and what to do next

Why download it?

  • Get an honest picture of where your tech stack and data practices stand today
  • Identify gaps before they become expensive surprises during implementation
  • Walk into your next vendor conversation with clarity on what your organization actually needs

New technology amplifies what’s already there (good or bad). This checklist helps you make sure you’re building on solid ground.
