What we mean by impact

For bassac, impact is:

  • Long term
  • About the core mission of the organisation
  • About improving the whole community’s wellbeing, not just individual project recipients
  • About how projects and activities integrate, interface and support each other to develop the community holistically rather than as separate functions
  • About illustrating how local issues contribute to the bigger or global context
  • About the local community or neighbourhood and how community anchors can have a specific focus but with wider influence
  • About capturing the unintended objectives and results of the organisation.
