About the Article
Non-profit presentations play a vital role in influencing stakeholders, securing funding, and mobilizing community support. This Teaching Paper introduces a structured evaluation checklist that enables practitioners to systematically assess preparation, content, delivery, visual aids, and follow-up. By combining self-assessment with peer and audience feedback, non-profits can identify strengths, address weaknesses, and continuously refine their communication strategies. A case study on rural school nutrition workshops illustrates how using the checklist improved clarity, boosted interaction, and increased volunteer engagement. The paper bridges theory and practice, providing a practical framework for improving presentation quality and ensuring that messages translate into meaningful outcomes.
