The Resilia Impact Framework powers the charts and summaries displayed on the Portfolio Impact Dashboard. As reported by nonprofits in the platform, goal progress is central to the framework and serves to level the playing field when tracking impact. If used correctly and regularly, tracking goals will easily connect to impact progress, regardless of an organization’s focus. This enables the framework to be agnostic when comparing nonprofits with different focus areas.
The framework focuses on and distinguishes between two types of impact:
Organizational impact = capacity building, internal focus, and growth of an organization.
Mission impact = building services, external focus, growth of an org’s work in their focus areas
They are interlinked but also separate. An org cannot fully achieve mission impact if they are lacking or struggling with their organizational impacts.
