Impact Reporting Network FAQs

The Impact Reporting Network connects your impact report to the donors and funders who are looking for organizations like yours. Review FAQs about the Network below. 

How will sharing our reports publicly benefit our organization? 

By sharing a report publicly, you increase the visibility of your organization’s impact. Donors may discover your work when searching for organizations to support, and you may be able to reuse your public report to respond to future reporting requests.

Public reports are intended to serve as a “universal” impact report that reflects your program’s outcomes, regardless of who funded it.

Who will see my public reports?

It may be visible to donors and funders who use platforms that participate in the Impact Reporting Network. This currently includes:

YourCause from Blackbaud, a leading corporate philanthropy and employee engagement platform used by companies and foundations to identify, support, and learn from nonprofit partners. Any report made public will automatically be shared in the coming months. 

Charity Navigator is the largest evaluator of U.S. nonprofits. Organizations that are Encompass-eligible and designate their report as public may have their report contribute to their Charity Navigator rating.

Public reports help funders and donors find, discover, and understand your work. Additional trusted platforms may join the Network over time.

Can partner platforms change how my report is displayed or interpreted?

Partner platforms control how publicly shared reports are displayed within their own platform environments, including summaries or evaluations. True Impact does not control partner presentation or scoring methodologies.

If new platforms join the Impact Reporting Network, will they see my reports?

Participating platforms immediately gain access to all reports marked public by participating nonprofits. Restricted reports are not shared with partner platforms.

I'm completing my report through a partner platform, will it automatically be included in the Impact Reporting Network?

Yes. Reports completed via a partner platform of the reporting network will automatically be public and available in the Impact Reporting Network. 

Can I control the visibility of my report?

Reports created in partner platforms will automatically be public. Please reach out to the partner platform if you have questions about removing any reports you've created. 

I have questions about my report, who should I contact?

Please contact the partner organization, who is partnering with True Impact, for any support on your report. If it's a technical issue, you can submit a technical support request here
