Excel or Google Sheets
A tracker your staff already maintain: session attendance, community visits or education goals. Upload the Excel file directly, or download your Google Sheet as Excel or CSV.
For nonprofits and community organizations
Turn your activity spreadsheet
into a board report.
- Upload a spreadsheet including activities people took part in, the sessions they attended, and their progress toward goals (such as education, employment or independent living).
- Next, add anything the board should know - a short blurb about successes, challenges, and expectations.
- ImpactBrief drafts an executive summary, key results, challenges and next steps.
- Voila!
Try fictional data first. No account needed.
Voila! Your draft is ready to review.

What does ImpactBrief do?
It turns your spreadsheet of activities, attendance and goal progress—plus a short staff update—into an editable board-report draft. You get an executive summary, key results, challenges and next steps, ready to download as PDF or Word.

Click here to see what your spreadsheet should look likeIndividual records: a Date and an Activity or goal column. Whole-period totals: an Activity or result and numeric Quantity column, plus the period the totals cover. Select the whole-period option after upload if there are no individual dates. Progress and anonymous participant IDs are optional. The first row must contain column headings; use a simple table.
Where does my spreadsheet come from?
Google Forms
A staff activity-log form can collect a date, activity, quantity and optional progress information. Download its responses as CSV and check the columns before uploading.
A case-management or attendance app
If your system exports dated activity or goal records to Excel or CSV, those records may work after preparation. Use the sample’s columns as a guide; export formats vary by system.
You don’t need another app. Start with the sample spreadsheet and replace its fictional rows with your own records. CSV is simply a spreadsheet saved as a text file; ImpactBrief also accepts Excel files.
One row might look like this:
| Date | Activity | Quantity | Status (optional) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-09-01 | Parenting session attendance | 1 | Completed |
This records one attendance, not one unique person helped. Use consistent activity names and anonymous participant codes if needed.
What you do: choose your file and reporting dates → check the suggested columns → add what went well, challenges and next steps → create, review and download your draft.
ImpactBrief accepts dated activity-and-quantity records or whole-period totals with an identified reporting period. It does not connect directly to these apps, read case-note PDFs, or automatically turn a Hootsuite or GA4 export into a social-media report. In ResidentCareLog Reports, choose Download for ImpactBrief. That export includes its reporting period automatically.
Numbers you can trust
Upload CSV or Excel, review the column mapping and choose your reporting period. Totals use your reviewed data, with missing values kept visible.
