The program was developed by Great Plains Communications to encourage nonprofit organizations to undertake projects that have a positive community IMPACT. “How can we help?” is the seed that can grow into an IMPACT Project. To participate, an organization in a designated IMPACT community determines the project it feels will create the greatest IMPACT, develops a project plan and submits ideas through an IMPACT application. Upon approval by Great Plains Communications, the project is assigned and receives an amount of eligible funding support. The organization then gets to work on the project, providing status updates and participating in IMPACT public relations. With each project success, IMPACT provides an ongoing opportunity to increase engagement, create solutions, serve needs, and enhance the community.
