What Are Community Impact Goals?
Community Impact Goals let you track organizational milestones—like volunteer matches or hours served—and visualize them through goal charts.
You can display these charts publicly on Volunteer Impact Pages (VIPs) or keep them private on your Site Manager dashboard.
They’re a great tool for:
Sharing progress with your board
Supporting funding and grant proposals
Showcasing your volunteer impact
Add Community Impact Goals
Go to Settings > Community Impact.
Enter your goals for:
Goal: Volunteer Matches (number of volunteer responses to Opportunities)
Goal: Volunteer Hours
Choose your desired date range.
Click Update Goals to save.
These goals can support board reporting, funding proposals, and community storytelling.
Display Goals on Your Site
Volunteer Impact Pages (VIPs)
