ImpactMaria was running a $2.3M nonprofit from a spreadsheet named "Donors_FINAL_v3"
Three grant reports due simultaneously. Volunteer data in one tab, donor history in another, program outcomes in a third. Every Monday standup started with "let me find the right version."
Actual donor tracking file before Impact — names changed
From spreadsheet chaos to live dashboard in one afternoon.
The Shelter Project migrated 4 years of donor data, 3 grant cycles, and 12,000 volunteer hours. Setup took 3 hours. Maria ran her first standup from Impact that same Monday.

Dashboard goes live
Every metric you track for grants, boards, and standups — visible in one screen, updated in real time.
Nine months later. Four metrics that changed everything.
Not projections. Not benchmarks. The Shelter Project's actual numbers, pulled directly from their Impact dashboard on December 31, 2025.
From 89 to 144 sustaining donors in 9 months. Impact identified 31 lapsed donors for re-engagement — 18 came back.
In-kind labor finally visible to funders. 4,218 hours across 12 counties, now automatically converted to grant-reportable value.
Composite index across 6 outcome metrics. Went from "we think it's working" to a 94/100 defensible score for grant renewals.
From 45-minute data-gathering sessions to 12-minute action-focused standups. Every number ready before the first coffee.
Climbing every quarter since Impact launch
"I used to dread the board's retention question. Now I open Impact and the answer is right there."
Before Impact, our board asked why retention was declining and I had to say "I'll get back to you." Now I open my laptop, share my screen, and the answer is already there — with a chart showing exactly when it turned around and why.
"Impact turned three grant reports into one conversation. Our board finally trusts the numbers because they can see exactly where they come from."
"Development used to mean guessing which donors were close to lapsing. Now Impact tells me every Monday morning, sorted by giving history and engagement."
"I built a color-coded spreadsheet I was genuinely proud of. Impact made it obsolete in a week. I am not even angry about it."
