Mission
Achievements Unlimited Foundation operates exclusively for charitable, scientific and educational purposes for the benefit, performance, functions, and charitable purposes of Impact Foundation. Operating to provide nonprofit organizations with educational resources and technical assistance, Achievements Unlimited Foundation measurably improves organizational effectiveness, optimizes long-term financial capacity, and enhances sustainability for a more effective and greater societal impact.
Program accomplishments
- Organizational EffectivenessImpact and its supporting organization, Achievements Unlimited Foundation (collectively the "Foundations"), recognizes that many nonprofit organizations often lack the expertise and financial resources to invest in organizational assessments, strategic planning and highly effective fundraising training to ensure their organization's effectiveness and long-term sustainability. The Foundations partnered with Dakota Medical Foundation, an unrelated nonprofit organization, through the Impact Institute (Institute) to provide support, education, training, and coaching sessions for nonprofit partner organizations. Since inception in 2005, the Institute has trained nonprofit executives and directors from over 500 nonprofit organizations in Institute leadership and fundraising concepts.Nonprofit Board and Management Training: Training boards and key management personnel to operate their organizations in a highly effective and efficient manner is a key education focus for the Foundations. In 2024, the Institute helped readily-equip over 600 charitable organizations to grow and operate more efficiently in order to support their missions. With an emphasis on connecting with fellow charities, organizations are invited to participate in training opportunities. These courses cover a wide variety of topics, ultimately equipping the charities with a broader understanding of fundraising. Charities were able to learn and grow in person and online. Grant Writing Services: Since 2005, the Foundations have supported grant writing assistance for health-related nonprofit organizations to generate additional financial resources for their programs. Since the formal addition of grant writing assistance, the Foundations and other regional nonprofit organizations have secured over $24.5 million in grant funding.Community Support: Achievements Unlimited Foundation provides grants to support community events, statewide nonprofit organizations, and other societal improvement initiatives. Grants were provided for these purposes from established Achievements Unlimited Foundation charitable funds, other grants, and donor contributions received by the FoundationsExpenses $229,800 · grants $222,300
