Arts Nonprofit Community Impact Assessment

Demonstrate Your Arts Organization's Community Impact

For arts nonprofits, sharing measurable impact with donors, board members, and grant funders isn't just good practice—it's essential for continued support. This Arts Nonprofit Community Impact Assessment template helps you capture the full picture: from attendance figures and artist support metrics to cultural enrichment outcomes and economic contributions.

Whether you run a community theater, gallery, music program, or multi-disciplinary arts center, this form provides a structured way to collect quarterly or annual impact data that tells your story with clarity and confidence.

Built for arts organizations that need to report outcomes

This template is designed specifically for arts nonprofits that need to:

• Track program reach and attendance across performances, exhibitions, workshops, and community events
• Measure artist support including commissions, residencies, grants, and professional development opportunities
• Assess cultural impact such as community engagement, accessibility initiatives, and educational outcomes
• Calculate economic contributions to the local creative economy, including jobs supported and revenue generated

With conditional logic built in, the form adapts based on your organization's focus areas, so you only collect the data that's relevant to your mission.
