“Charting Impact is a simple and accessible way for nonprofits to think about and explain what they do, why they do it, how they do it, and the difference it makes. As a tool for boards to help build their knowledge and help them become more effective fundraisers, or for donors to use when they consider making a gift, Charting Impact’s potential is tremendous.”

Though you may select one person to champion the process and manage the writing, we encourage you to involve multiple people from across the organization as you respond to the five questions and review drafts of your report. You can download and print a Discussion Copy of Charting Impact to use in your conversations and development process.
This document explains the five questions at the heart of Charting Impact and offers guidance for developing your organization’s responses to them. This material should help your discussions with key members of your organization as you consider how to communicate your goals, strategies, capabilities, progress indicators, and accomplishments through this framework. Once you’ve drafted your responses, we invite you to return to ChartingImpact.org to publish your Charting Impact Report.
