The nonprofit sector has long been doing good works with children, families, and communities, but we continue to seek a healthy and equitable society because opportunity, health, safety, economic security, and well-being remain elusive for millions of Americans.
Communities deserve high-impact nonprofits, but impact is not about what you do—how many people you serve, how long you’ve been in existence, or how far your service area reaches. It’s about the positive change you achieve and whether or not it lasts.
Because the Alliance for Strong Families and Communities believes that organizations do not achieve impact by accident but through dedication and rigorous attention to high standards, we’ve identified the Commitments of High-Impact Nonprofit Organizations to deliver foundational direction in achieving lasting impact.
