WHAT IS MEANINGFUL IMPACT?

GMS works to help nonprofits become learning organizations and, most critically, operate under a paradigm of meaningful impact. Meaningful Impact is a simple yet effective approach. GMS helps restructure your organization for high impact. You learn to:

(1) focus on three or five top goals;

(2) identify and engage those to whom these goals are most meaningful;

(3) measure their impact and describe it in compelling terms;

(4) sustain this impact with imagination and efficiency over time;

(5) engage board members and other key volunteers with meaningful work.


See the brief, "What is an impact statement & why do you need one?" below.
