BVU GovernancePulse™
Governance Effectiveness Assessment
A Practical Tool for Nonprofit Boards | Developed by Business Volunteers Unlimited
For thirty years, Business Volunteers Unlimited (BVU) has been training civic leaders for nonprofit board service and providing governance consulting and training to nonprofit organizations across Northeast Ohio and beyond. In that time, we have observed what separates high-performing boards from those that struggle, and it is rarely a matter of talent or intention. It is almost always a matter of practice.
There is a profound difference between sitting on a board and serving on one. The BVU GovernancePulse™ is a practical, evidence-informed tool designed to help nonprofit boards, chief executives, and funders quickly assess governance effectiveness and identify the highest-priority areas for improvement. It is grounded in BVU’s three decades of hands-on governance experience and focused on behaviors and practices that are both measurable and actionable.
How to Use This Assessment
Complete this assessment collaboratively with your board chair and chief executive, or distribute it to the full board and average the results for a collective perspective. Each question yields a score between 0 and 100. Once you complete and submit the Governance Pulse Survey, BVU will send you your score and a customized gaps analysis with recommendations for improvement.
This assessment is most valuable when completed honestly — use it as a mirror, not a report card.
Part 1: Governance Practices
For each question, select the answer that most honestly describes your board and enter the corresponding score in the right column.
Part 2: Board Engagement & Accountability
For each question below, enter your board’s actual percentage as your score (0–100). If your exact figure is unknown, use your best informed estimate. Rounding is fine.
Your BVU GovernancePulse™ Score
BVU has developed a scoring methodology based on our work over three decades and
