Where do Resilia’s outcome numbers come from?

Resilia’s outcome data comes primarily from data stored on our platform (surveys, documents, transcripts, etc.). That data is processed into claims, and the claims nonprofits choose to share can be aggregated. Each statistic on the site carries a source line that links here.

Survey results reflect participants who responded, and outcomes such as funds raised depend on more than any one program. We report them as what participants told us and what the platform recorded, not as proof that a program alone caused the result.

Sector statistics, such as the share of nonprofits with an AI policy, come from TechSoup and Tapp Network’s State of AI in Nonprofits 2025 and are labeled as sector context, not Resilia outcomes.
