community impact
Neighborhood-level change
Community impact refers to the effects—positive or negative—that an organization, project, or initiative has on the people and institutions in a surrounding area.
The term appears frequently in nonprofit work, urban planning, and corporate social responsibility contexts, where groups aim to demonstrate measurable benefits to local populations.
The grant application required evidence of community impact.
When companies tout their community impact, skeptics may question whether the claimed benefits are genuine or merely public relations.
