Non-profit checklists
This folder holds the checklists of the non-profits section. Each one links to the pages that explain its items. Copy a checklist into your own document, put names and dates next to the items, and keep the signed copies; they are your record that the work was done, and good evidence for a funder or board.
Contents
The checklists
| Checklist | When | Signed by |
|---|---|---|
| Launch checklist | Before the site, or a relaunch, goes live | Project owner and technical lead |
| Monthly checklist | The first week of each month | The person responsible for the site |
| Annual checklist | Once a year, before the budget is set | Director or board |
| Data protection checklist | At launch, then yearly, and whenever a new form or service is added | Data protection contact |
How to use them
- Copy the checklist; add a column "Who" and a column "Done on".
- Put a name next to every line before you start. A line without a name will not be done.
- Where a line does not apply, strike it out and write why.
- Keep the signed copy with your project files.
- Change the checklist when you learn something; it is yours.
Tip
If you only do one thing from this folder, do the monthly checklist. Most expensive problems on small sites are missed backups, missed updates and nobody looking (Backups and updates routine).
