What is Community Impact?
Communities and organizations across the United States are moving towards this concept of impact in order to achieve measurable results. Our vision is to identify important "impact" issues and create a language, framework, and a process to improve community conditions while continuing to fund local organizations. Creating lasting changes in community conditions is challenging and requires the entire community to work together to be successful.
