Outputs versus Outcomes. This simple concept could be the differentiator your organization needs to elevate credibility, attract donors, and deepen your mission’s impact. Outputs are the numbers you know well: • 100 students served • 50 events held But outcomes tell the real story: • 80% improvement in test scores • 60% graduation rate It’s not about activity counts but about answering the vital question: Because of your service, what can they do now? Hiver Hannah Mae Primus of HMK Impact's insightful piece in The Nonprofit Hive dives into this shift from activity to meaningful change—a growing trend in nonprofit and corporate impact reporting alike. Article Highlights: 💪 The Ripple Effect of Outcome Layering - Impact isn’t just immediate. 💪 Measure What Matters Yes, tracking outcomes takes strategy—but it’s achievable. 💪 Why Outcomes Matter to Donors Here’s the bottom line: output-focused reporting risks “impact washing.” To stand out to funders, shift to reporting that highlights the lasting difference your work creates. Combined with stories, this data becomes your most powerful tool to attract support and strengthen your mission. Your Nonprofit Call to Action: "What can they do now because of your work?" Let this question guide your next report.

What truly drives us in the nonprofit sector? It’s not the paycheck or prestige—it’s passion. The kind of passion that makes the hard days feel worth it because you know your work matters. But here’s the challenge: how do we ensure this passion doesn’t lead to burnout? How do we create a sector where enthusiasm drives sustainable action and real impact? Imagine a nonprofit world where everyone thrives. Where we build healthier systems, foster vibrant spaces, and pave the way for future leaders to succeed without sacrificing themselves. These are big questions, but they demand answers. In a recent interview with Hiver Michelle Flores Vryn, CFRE she reminded us, “This is our time to lose.” With Gen Z entering the field—full of energy and a desire for change—seasoned professionals must lead the charge in shaping a better future. It’s about making room for fresh perspectives while ensuring they have the support to grow. At The Nonprofit Hive, we amplify voices like Michelle’s to ensure our sector is ready for transformation. Because if we’re going to change the world, we must do it in a way that helps us all thrive. What changes are you championing in your corner of the nonprofit world? How are you ensuring your passion for change doesn’t turn into burnout? Find our full interview with Michelle here! https://lnkd.in/ggKbyDhd #SocialImpact #Leadership #TheNonprofitHive #Changemakers
