What is the Proof of Impact Badge and Why is it Important?
Organizations displaying the Badge are helping redefine what responsible, trustworthy impact should look like
When you support a nonprofit, you deserve to know exactly where your money goes and whether it’s creating the change you were promised.
The Proof of Impact Badge was created for that reason.
It’s a simple symbol that helps you quickly identify nonprofits and organizations that provide verified, transparent proof of their work.
If you’re seeing one of the badges below on a website, social post, or fundraising page, here’s what it means.
Proof You Can Trust
Organizations who display the Proof of Impact Badge share real evidence of the impact they create, not estimates or vague statements.
Every partner qualified to wear the badge is backed by:
- Verified photos and videos
- Geo-coordinates and location data
- Timestamped activity logs
- Transparent reporting
So when an organization says they planted trees, restored coral, cleaned oceans, provided clean water, or built a school, you can actually see the result and look up exactly where and when it happened.
A Higher Standard of Transparency
Impact can be hard to verify. Many organizations work in remote areas, rely on teams operating out in the field, and juggle hundreds of project days every year.
The Badge tells you that the nonprofit you’re supporting has chosen to go further than standard reporting. They’ve opened their work to a third-party verification process that is built on:
- Accuracy
- Consistency
- Traceability
- Accountability
This level of transparency isn’t the industry norm. It’s a higher bar that we feel every donor deserves their chosen nonprofit to meet.
And when you see the badge, you know the organization has met that standard.
Looking Ahead: Raising the Bar for Verified Impact
As more nonprofits adopt verified reporting and earn the Proof of Impact badge, you’ll see it more across websites, fundraising campaigns, annual reports, and partner pages.
Our goal is simple:
Make transparent, verified impact the standard, not the exception.
This is a badge created to protect and empower both donors and nonprofits.
When you see the roof of Impact Badge, you should instantly know you’re supporting an organization you can trust.
