### Measure What Matters: Community-Led Impact Reporting

For nonprofits built on people power and grassroots organizing, traditional impact metrics often miss the point. This **Community Impact Assessment Form** helps you capture the real outcomes that matter—leadership development, democratic participation, community determination, and bottom-up change.

Whether you're reporting to funders, sharing wins with your community, or planning your next campaign, this template makes it easy to document the human stories and systemic shifts that prove your work is making a difference.

#### Built for grassroots organizations

Community-based nonprofits need impact reporting tools that reflect their values and methods. This form helps you:

 - **Track leadership emergence** from within the community
 - **Measure democratic participation** and member engagement
 - **Document organizing wins** and campaign outcomes
 - **Capture qualitative stories** alongside quantitative data
 - **Report to donors** with confidence and clarity

#### Seamless reporting workflows with Stepper

Once community members and organizers submit their assessments, you can use [Stepper](https://stepper.io) to automatically compile reports, notify leadership teams, update your CRM with donor-ready impact data, and trigger follow-up interviews or case studies. Keep your organizing team focused on the work while the admin happens in the background.

#### Why Paperform for community impact?
