Overview

Mission

To empower the faith community of greater charlottesville to create significant social change through unified direct action.

What it reported doing in 2024

Impact's work in 2024 resulted in significant improvements to both housing and transportation in charlottesville and albemarle county. Because of impact's pressure, the city of charlottesville added more bus drivers to its transit staff, resulting in more buses on the road and shorter wait times for people who rely on the bus. Additionally, impact also got albemarle county to introduce legislation that will establish an affordable housing trust fund when passed and secured a continued commitment to several million dollars in funding for affordable housing.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 92% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
