Community Indicator Reports
Hi all!
I received lots of good help and feedback on my last post, so I thought I'd post again.
We are looking in to conducting a community indicator report/needs assessment for our region. I know a lot of other foundations have engaged in this area, so I would love to hear any thoughts on best practices!
Any information on logistics, obstacles, or outcomes would be very helpful. I am curious if other organizations are doing their own reports or contracting with outside firms?
I appreciate your help! Thank you!

Outside of our Community Reports, we haven't put together a hard copy community indicator report, but we have put a Delaware County Health and Opportunity Equity Indicator on our website. It's an interactive map that helps layout things like education levels, obesity, asthma, with/without health insurance, etc in the county by zip codes. You can find our map here:
If you click on the orange button in the corner that says "new map", you can toggle between different indicators.
Hope this helps!

Hi Eliana,
During the pandemic The Pasadena Community Foundation (PCF) conducted a survey of nonprofits and asked a specific question about perceived needs in the community. It was a very useful data point at the time. We combined survey responses with in-depth interviews of community leaders to inform our grant priorities. I am interested in this thread and can provide our survey and interview questions if you would like. Kate
