Thank you for taking the time to fill out the Assetmap.org pilot survey.
At Assetmap.org, we believe that the building blocks of any goal are the assets needed to achieve it. We're working to develop a utility that can help individuals and groups working for the common good better share information about resources and needs, in order to improve coordination and collaboration in the social sector.
The survey which you're about to take is a vital part of our initial research. We are working with individual and nonprofit organization partners to understand how to create the most effective tool possible. In September and October 2008, we will be working to visualize this information, suggest matches between individuals and groups with similar goals and complimentary assets and needs. In November or December, we will post the information digitally for all participants to use at their discretion. Early next year, we hope to launch an Alpha version of the site.
We believe this tool has great potential to improve coordination across the development sector. Thank you for taking the time to fill this survey out, and please contact us if you have any questions.

Assets and Needs
Instructions:
This section is designed to collect information about the full range of assets your organization has and the things you need. "Assets" are any skill, item, relationship or other type of resource that can help your organization achieve its mission. The types of assets we will collect information about fall into a few categories:
- Materials and Equipment
- Space and Facilities
- Financial/economic resources
- Skills and expertise
- Connections/Networks
- Constituencies
Each question will ask whether you have, or need, the asset listed. This information will be key to helping you find other organizations and supporters who can help you meet your needs.
Other organizations have answered this question with responses such as "need for office space," "need for project funding," "expertise in accounting," "legal advice," etc.
Please answer whether your organization has any skills or experience in the following areas.
This might mean geographic communities, such as the "Gulu district", or it might be a demographic group, such as "Widows in Attiak sub-county"
For example, an organization that works with children might say they have skills in "youth leadership development," an organization that focuses on agriculture and farming might say they have expertise in "farming as a business," etc.
