Set the reporting period, metric definition, inclusion rules, and responsible record owner before publishing a total.
IMPACT
Public benefit that can be seen, measured, and shared.
The Institute reports completed results separately from future plans so donors, partners, participants, and the public can understand both current progress and the work still ahead.
✦ANNUAL IMPACT DASHBOARD
2026 baseline and proposed 2027 targets.
This first dashboard establishes a public reporting structure. It does not convert an unverified figure into a zero or present a proposed target as an achieved result.
Reported result Completed and supported by current records
Not yet reported A verified annual total has not been published
Proposed target Future planning figure—not an achieved result

IMPORTANT DISTINCTION
Not yet reported does not mean zero.
It means the Institute has not published a verified annual total for that measure. A zero is used only where the current public portfolio supports a clear statement that no completed result is being reported.
Proposed 2027 targets are planning placeholders. They are not completed results, Board-approved commitments, financial forecasts, promises of funding, or guarantees of program launch.
REPORTING METHOD
How results will be counted.
Consistent definitions make annual comparisons more useful and help prevent progress from being overstated.
Document
Use agreements, attendance records, completion records, time logs, award records, financial reports, and publication links as appropriate.
Verify
Review figures for accuracy, duplicates, reporting-period consistency, privacy, donor restrictions, and appropriate financial classification.
Approve
Require responsible organizational review before a result, target, correction, or annual report is presented publicly.
Publish
Show completed results beside future targets, date the report, identify limitations, and link supporting public records when available.
Correct
Post a dated explanation when a published figure changes because of an error, improved information, or a revised definition.
