SAVI’s Newest Tool in Development
The Online Community Assessment & Planning Tool
Surveys have shown repeatedly that SAVI
is most commonly used for community
assessments and grant applications, and it
takes a lot of mining to gather and analyze
the data needed from SAVI. The SAVI team
is hard at work designing a new tool to
make it that process much easier.
This easy-to-use tool will walk users
through a basic community assessment
framework, providing data to support each
step: assess needs, identify assets, and
define gaps and opportunities. It will allow

users to define a custom geographic area,
view dashboards, and drill into interactive
data visualizations. The data format will
make it easy for nonprofits to understand
needs, socio-economic and geographic
disparities, existing programming, and gaps
in their service area.
After completing a step-by-step online
assessment, users will be able to download
a custom report in an editable MS Word
format.
