Too often, “impact” is treated like a buzzword. But for donors—especially those giving through donor-advised funds—it has a very specific meaning. In a recent podcast episode from Stanford Social Innovation Review, Fred Kaynor shared how donors define impact in three ways: ? Strategic giving that aligns with personal mission ? Investments that grow while waiting to be granted ? Outcomes that reflect long-term, meaningful change This perspective matters. When donors think like investors, they want to see how their support is helping your organization move the needle. They expect transparency, evidence, and communication grounded in outcomes. In this article, we explore what this means for nonprofit leaders and how #impact data can strengthen donor relationships at every level. #nonprofitleadership #impactdata #donorrelations #philanthropy

The MacArthur Foundation is calling on funders to increase their payout rate from 5% to at least 6% for the next two years. This shift acknowledges the growing financial pressure on nonprofit organizations and the need for philanthropy to do more during times of uncertainty. MacArthur’s leadership is commendable. But increased giving alone won’t sustain the nonprofit sector. Private funding cannot replace lost public dollars. To secure long-term financial support, organizations must prove their impact and show funders why their work is the best investment for meaningful change. This is where impact measurement comes in. Funders are prioritizing organizations that can track, evaluate, and communicate their results in clear, compelling ways. At SureImpact, we help mission-driven organizations collect, analyze, and share their outcomes—making it easier to demonstrate effectiveness and attract funding. MacArthur’s call to action is just the beginning. Now is the time for both funders and nonprofits to embrace data-driven decision-making to ensure social impact efforts thrive. Read our latest blog post on why funders must increase their giving—and why nonprofits must prove their value. #SocialImpact #ImpactMeasurement #NonprofitStrategy #NonprofitTech #TechForGood #NonprofitLeadership
