The five questions every nonprofit should answer...
Charting Impact is a collaborative effort of the BBB Wise Giving Alliance, GuideStar USA, and Independent Sector, designed to make it easier for nonprofits to consistently communicate their stories and impact, and for donors to compare and contrast different groups.
Every nonprofit should fill out a Charting Impact report. It's a clarifying process for your organization, and it is a useful way to communicate your impact to your donors. Plus, according to the Charting Impact website, as of today only 70 organizations are participating, so you can have a leg up by being an early adopter!
The five Charting Impact questions that every nonprofit should answer:
1. What is your organization aiming to accomplish?
2. What are your strategies for making this happen?
3. What are your organization's capabilities for doing this?
4. How will your organization know if you are making progress?
5. What have and haven't you accomplished so far?
