Ensure your impact reports meet funder and nonprofit accountability standards
Example Output
Example 1: Logic Model for Youth Job Training Program
- Inputs: 15 staff, $250K budget, partnership with 3 employers
- Activities: Weekly skills workshops, 1-on-1 mentoring, job placement support
- Outputs: 45 youth served, 120 mentoring hours delivered
- Outcomes: 80% job placement rate, average starting wage $18/hour, 6-month retention 75%
- Impact: Youth earn $45K more annually vs. control group
Example 2: Mid-Year Impact Narrative Our literacy program served 120 students in Year 1, exceeding our 100-student target. Pre/post reading assessments show 68% of participants improved by at least one grade level. One participant, Maria, progressed from non-reader to independent reading in 8 months. Teacher surveys indicate 92% of school partners report improved classroom engagement.
Example 3: Funder-Specific Report Section Cost-Effectiveness: We served each youth for $5,556, resulting in an average lifetime earnings impact of $127K—a 23:1 return on investment.
