Serve Your Community with Outcomes that Matter

Through Reliable, Third-Party Reporting That Drives Donor Engagement and Retention

Validate Your Nonprofit’s Impact Through Reliable, Data-Driven Reporting

Your donors want to validate that their contributions will result in something that helps to alleviate and address the needs of the community over time. 

Donors want to see in clear, uncomplicated terms what your nonprofit has accomplished as a direct result of their personal contributions.

Validate the results of your nonprofit’s efforts through The Mark’s reliable third-party research and data analysis. We help donors focus on outcomes and the changes that occurred as a result of your organization’s efforts – not just output or the increased number of people served. 

With The Mark, you’ll craft compelling annual impact reports and donor communications filled with the collective qualitative stories and quantitative results that will resonate with donors’ hearts and heads.

Learn the Difference Between an Output and an Outcome in This Free Webinar

Too often, organizations focus on the outputs of their programs, not the outcomes.

That is, nonprofits can prove what was done (i.e., an output), but not what real, practical change actually occurred within the community (i.e., an outcome).

In this free on-demand workshop hosted by The Mark, you’ll learn the difference between outputs and outcomes, when each matters, and how to accurately measure them for the most impactful results.
