This document discusses tools that can help new non-profit organizations structure themselves, assess their strengths and weaknesses, and track their progress. It recommends using an Organizing Board to allocate resources, a SWOT analysis to examine internal and external factors, and a Dashboard to set measurable targets and monitor key performance indicators. These corporate tools are argued to be adaptable for non-profits and can help them effectively "learn to fly" by getting their structure right, attracting support, and ensuring they fulfill their mission. Appendices provide examples of how each tool can be applied.
