This **Nonprofit Program Discovery Form** template helps nonprofit organizations, community foundations, and social impact consultants conduct thorough needs assessments and discovery calls without the back-and-forth of email chains or incomplete intake forms. Whether you're a nonprofit director evaluating a new initiative, a consultant conducting stakeholder interviews, or a foundation reviewing grant proposals, this template captures everything you need to understand program feasibility, impact potential, and resource requirements in one professional, easy-to-complete form. #### Built for the nonprofit sector's unique needs This discovery form is designed specifically for nonprofits, foundations, and social service organizations. It addresses the key questions that drive program success: Who will you serve? What outcomes will you measure? How will you fund the work? What partnerships will amplify your impact? The template includes sections for mission and vision alignment, target population demographics, program goals and measurable outcomes, funding sources and sustainability planning, volunteer recruitment needs, and community partnership opportunities. Conditional logic ensures that respondents only see relevant follow-up questions based on their program type and structure. #### Connect your nonprofit workflow with Paperform + Stepper With Paperform's native integrations, you can automatically send discovery form submissions to your CRM, project management tools like Asana or Monday.com, or collaboration platforms like Slack and Notion. For nonprofits managing complex approval processes, **Stepper** (stepper.io) can transform each submission into a multi-step workflow—routing program proposals to board members for review, triggering follow-up tasks for your development team, and keeping stakeholders updated throughout the evaluation process. If you need formal agreements or memorandums of understanding after the discovery phase, **Papersign** (papersign.com) lets you turn form responses into legally binding documents with secure eSignatures, creating a seamless path from discovery to partnership. #### Professional, on-brand forms that reflect your mission Nonprofits deserve forms that look as professional as the work they do.
