Community Impact
What is Community Impact?
Communities and organizations across the United States are moving towards this concept of impact in order to acheive measurable results. Our vision is to identify important "impact" issues and create a language, framework, and a process to improve community conditions while continuing to fund local organizations. Creating lasting changes in community conditions is challenging and requires the entire community to work together to be successful.
The Business Model of Community Impact includes:
- Identifying the Cape Fear Area's most critcal needs
- Identifying measurable indicators of community results
- Identifying reliable data sources and establishing current baselines, targets, and timeframes for improvement
- Assisting local organizations in identifying measurable program outcomes
- Investing United Way resources in local organizations who address critical needs
- Participating in larger community efforts to achieve community indicators of success that no one organization can acheive alone. These will require new forms of intensive, long-term collaboration amongst nonprofit and public agencies, businesses, faith-based entities and other stakeholders.
