Overview
What is an impact report project?
An impact report shows what changed for the people you serve, with a balance of numbers and stories. When it’s done, you have one report you can share with any funder and a matching impact profile in your workspace. A short data appendix backs up what the report says.
Steps
How does an impact report project usually run?
01
Gather evidence
Pull outcome data, client stories and program numbers from your living record.
02
Choose the story
Pick the three or four results that matter most to your mission.
03
Draft and design
Write a clear report with a few charts, stories shared with consent and a data appendix.
04
Share it
Publish the report and share your impact profile with funders, by consent.
Signs you need this
When does a nonprofit need an impact report project?
The most common sign a nonprofit needs an impact report project is “Every funder wants a different report.” — here are the others to look for.
- Every funder wants a different report.
- You have stories but no evidence.
- Your annual report takes months.
Delivery
How does Resilia deliver an impact report project?
Practitioner plus self-service: a practitioner helps you assemble the evidence, and your impact profile stays in sync in your workspace.
Free to start your impact profile in your workspace. Practitioner time is scoped with you — or free to you if your funder sponsors it.
Example
What does a finished impact report look like?
For example, a $700K early childhood nonprofit might finish with an eight-page report on how many families it served and how many children met reading milestones, plus two family stories shared with permission. The same figures would appear in its impact profile.
Pitfalls
What are common mistakes to avoid?
- Leading with activity counts instead of what changed for people.
- Using client stories or photos without clear consent.
- Waiting until year-end to start gathering data.
