Measuring impact
Outcomes not outputs — ‘students employed’ not ‘classes held’; the sector’s hardest discipline.
Donor-facing goals
Reportable, honest, impact-tied — goals that grant reports can verify.
The resource reality
Goals sized to capacity — nonprofits overcommit structurally; the constraint is real.
Bottom line
Nonprofit goals: mission impact + financial sustainability + operations — three lenses; measured in outcomes per dollar, not just activity.
