### Transform Your Nonprofit Impact Reporting with Participatory Grantmaking

Participatory grantmaking represents a fundamental shift in philanthropic power dynamics—moving decision-making authority from institutions to the communities they serve. This **Participatory Grantmaking Impact Report template** helps nonprofits document and communicate the transformative outcomes of community-led funding decisions, trust-based philanthropy practices, and equity-centered grantmaking.

#### Built for Power-Shifting Philanthropy

Whether you're a community foundation, nonprofit funder, or grassroots organization embracing participatory models, this template captures the qualitative and quantitative data that matters: who made decisions, how barriers were reduced, what community outcomes emerged, and how traditional power structures shifted. Track trust-based practices like unrestricted funding, streamlined applications, and multi-year support alongside demographic diversity of decision-makers and community satisfaction metrics.

#### Donor and Stakeholder Transparency Made Simple

Paperform's document-style editor lets you create impact reports that feel personal and authentic—not sterile surveys. Add compelling community stories alongside metrics, embed photos or videos of decision-making sessions, and use conditional logic to dive deeper into specific program areas or community segments. Your reports can match your organization's brand while maintaining the accessibility and warmth that trust-based relationships require.

#### Automate Your Impact Workflow

Connect this template to your broader ecosystem using [Stepper](https://stepper.io), Paperform's AI-native workflow builder. Route completed impact reports to your development team for donor communications, trigger follow-up interviews with community decision-makers, update your CRM or grant management system, and compile data across multiple reporting periods—all without manual data entry. You can even set up automated thank-you messages to community participants or generate summary reports for your board.

#### Designed for Equity-Centered Organizations

This template serves community foundations, philanthropic networks, mutual aid funds, participatory budgeting initiatives, and any nonprofit committed to redistributing power in grantmaking. The thoughtful question flow respects respondents' time while gathering rich insights about inclusion, accessibility, decision-making equity, and community agency—the metrics that matter most when your goal is systemic change, not just charity.

With Paperform's robust security (SOC 2 Type II compliant), generous free plan, and intuitive interface, even small nonprofits can create professional impact reports that honor community voice and demonstrate transformational outcomes to donors, foundations, and stakeholders.
