What is a Fractional Chief Impact Officer?

If leading a nonprofit or social enterprise feels like constantly putting out fires, you are far from alone. The stakes are high—your team is passionate, your mission matters, and the expectations from board, funders, and partners keep stacking up. But with shrinking budgets, ambitious goals, and even layoffs or funding cuts on the rise, small teams are being asked to do more than ever.

It’s easy to feel stretched thin, wishing for expert support but knowing a full-time executive just isn’t feasible right now.

Here’s the hopeful pivot—your organization doesn’t have to settle for staying overwhelmed. Imagine what’s possible if, instead of constantly juggling, you finally had clarity, credible strategy, and the bandwidth to deliver measurable results.

That’s where the Fractional Chief Impact Officer comes in—a flexible, approachable, and proven way to amplify your impact, even when resources and time are tight.

What Does “Fractional” Mean?

Executive Leadership, On Terms That Fit YOU

The concept of “fractional” leadership is about bringing in experienced executives—like a Chief Impact Officer—on a part-time, hourly, or project basis.

This approach allows growing organizations to access high-level strategy and support, without the weight, risk, or commitment of a full-time hire. Engagements may range from a few hours each week to time-bound projects focused on solving specific challenges, like launching a new reporting system or securing B Corp certification.

Other terms you may have heard for this model include:

• Interim executive

• Part-time executive

• Embedded advisor

• Contract leadership

While “fractional” is most current, outdated terms like “advisor” (or sadly even “board member”) usually point to roles with less influence—fractional leaders are integrated and accountable, not just giving advice now and again. And while freelancers typically tackle tasks or deliverables from the sidelines, fractional executives join leadership, shape direction, and guide implementation hand-in-hand with your team.

Why Choose Fractional CHIEF IMPACT OFFICER Services?

When resources are limited but the need for credible, strategic leadership is pressing, fractional services stand out because they are:

• Project-based or hourly: Customized to capacity.

• Scalable: Flexible engagement, ramping up or down as priorities shift.

• Mission-aligned: Tailored to the organization’s culture, growth stage, and values.

• Quickly actionable: Expert guidance starts fast, and adapts as you learn.

a Chief Impact Officer: Where Mission Meets Measurable Results

A Chief Impact Officer (CIO) is more than a champion for your purpose—they’re the architect of your mission’s outcomes. This role ensures your work leads to proven, communicable social and environmental results, empowering every department to pull in the same direction.

In practical terms, CIOs:

• Set strategy for measurable, sustainable impact

• Align staff, systems, and stories with your biggest goals

• Lead the design and implementation of evaluation tools

• Build trust by making impact data visible and honest

From Vision to Data—And Beyond

Fractional CIOs work alongside your leadership, filling gaps and tackling the priorities that matter most in your context.

Popular Fractional CHIEF IMPACT OFFICER Projects

• Impact Reporting: Create “stakeholder-ready” reports, translating mission work into clear, funder-friendly results and narratives.

• Strategy Design: Develop frameworks for social/environmental impact, identifying short- and long-term markers of success.

• Stakeholder Engagement: Build or refine outreach and transparency tools to boost credibility and support.

• Organizational Alignment: Make sure goals, departments, and programs work together, not in silos.

• Funding Support: Strengthen proposals with transparent data, helping you win more grants and opportunities.

• Measurement and Evaluation: Pinpoint which data is meaningful, make it easier to collect, and free your team from endless spreadsheets.

• Impact Storytelling: Convert numbers into compelling, jargon-free stories your community and partners care about.

• ESG and Sustainability Integration: Weave social/environmental impact throughout your business model, supporting certifications like B Corp.

• Capacity Coaching: Guide staff in strategic, sustainable thinking, building a stronger, impact-literate culture.

Projects may be structured hourly, by retainer, or as one-time strategy sprints—so support meets your needs, not the other way around.

Why Now? Small Teams Are Asked to Do More

The last few years have made one thing clear: Nonprofits and social enterprises face ever-growing expectations with fewer resources each quarter. Layoffs, budget cuts, and evolving goals mean organizations are relying on small, agile teams—and those teams are pressed to deliver transparency, results, and growth without burning out.

That’s exactly why Fractional Chief Impact Officers matter now. They offer hands-on partnership in systems, data, and culture—so your staff is set up to succeed, your mission gets the attention it deserves, and your community can see real change.

Who Needs a Fractional Chief Impact Officer?

Fractional leadership is perfect for:

• Small teams with powerful missions trying to scale without overextending staff

• Founders and EDs juggling strategy, reporting, and daily operations

• Social enterprises and nonprofits pursuing grants, certifications, or impact recognition

• Boards recognizing that their impact story is scattered and unclear

If measuring, reporting, or scaling impact are real challenges—or if your staff is burning out covering too many bases—fractional leadership is a great option for you.

The Benefits of Fractional Impact Leadership

Immediate Value, Ongoing Flexibility

With fractional CIO services, mission-driven organizations receive:

• Targeted expertise right when it’s needed: No complex hiring processes or long-term contracts

• External perspective with insider accountability: Best practices and fresh ideas, without disrupting culture

• Strategic clarity that reduces overwhelm—systems, frameworks, and alignment so every hour is well spent

• Personalized guidance: Support is tailored to your goals, whether helping with a report deadline, capacity building, or stakeholder communication

How It Works: Your Fractional CIO in Action

A typical engagement with me unfolds like this:

• Discovery: Free 30-minute consult to get to know your challenges, goals, and context. This also allows us to make sure we’re a good fit for each other.

• Proposal and Planning: Right-sized project or strategic retainer mapped around needs and capacity.

  Then, depending on the project, it may include:

• Systems and Reporting Build: Design measurement tools, streamline data collection, and turn insights into usable, actionable knowledge.

• Frameworks and Coaching: From impact strategy to storytelling tools, every solution is co-created for your top priorities.

• Ongoing Leadership: Regular check-ins, accountability, and continuous improvement—on your terms, in your preferred mode (remote, onsite, hybrid).

Everything is collaborative, transparent, and tailored. As your partner, I am your executive extension, leveling up—not overwhelming—your mission.

How Can a Fractional Chief Impact Officer Help You?

If reporting deadlines cause stress, strategic priorities seem endlessly shifting, or the weight of demonstrating impact is slowing your mission’s growth, fractional CIO services can clear the fog.

Choose from hourly, project, or recurring support, and get help that lifts you—never overburdens.

• Measure progress in ways that motivate and inspire

• Communicate outcomes that build trust

• Coach teams for lasting, positive change

• Move from “overwhelmed” to “outcomes” with help that fits you

Next Steps: Ready to Transform Your Impact?

Your mission deserves to be seen, measured, and celebrated. All it takes is a willing partner, proven systems, and a commitment to clarity—so your impact can speak for itself.

Ready to discover if fractional leadership is right for you? Book a free consult and move from scattered effort to strategic growth—no pressure, just possibilities.

There’s never been a better time to get the help you need—on your terms, so everyone in your organization can do good, even better.

Nonprofit Leaders Share Their Secrets to Success

Success is a word heavy with implications. It means something different to each person and each organization. It’s relative; success for one could look like reaching a million followers on a social media platform, while to another it could be finally hitting a high donation goal or meeting someone with needed resources. 

Success could be a number, a feeling, a noticed impact, or influence. Whatever it looks like to you, big or small, we can all agree that success is something we strive for in creating impact. And just as there is no one correct answer for what success is, there’s no one way to achieve it. 

In my opinion, success is anything that leads to a meaningful win for your organization. As a nonprofit leader, the road to success can often look longer and steeper than most. Creating lasting impact and changing the world for the better will do that! Your efforts are needed and important, but it can be challenging to know what to do to get yourself where you want to be and achieve the success you envision. 

I spoke with a few nonprofit leaders who I admire about what success means to them, what helped them achieve it—and where it led. Their feedback was unsurprisingly invaluable and inspiring, so read on to learn what these nonprofit leaders said were their secrets to success.

Irene Barton - Cobb Collaborative

Cobb Collaborative educates, engages, and empowers local people and organizations to improve outcomes for children and families in Cobb County, Georgia. 

---

What helped you achieve success?

Networking in the community - not just with other nonprofits, but also with funders, businesses, government agencies, and community members.

What success did it lead to?

I ended up being part of the conversation to address issues that aligned with our initiatives. The one initiative area where we really saw growth was mental health. It was a critical issue before the pandemic and now has really been heightened. Because I went to meetings, gatherings, and workshops hosted by a variety of leaders - public health, state agencies, K-12 educators, social services - and could bring information about what we were doing and how we could help address the problem, more opportunities kept popping up. It became, “Have you heard that the Cobb Collaborative is doing a lot around mental health” and, “You might want to reach out and see if the Collaborative has any ideas or resources around that issue.” That led to connections, being at the table, and ultimately - financial investment.  

What is your advice for others to achieve similar success?

​​Much like for-profit business owners, there is a difference between working "on" your business versus "in" your business. My advice is to get connected with others - subject matter experts, thought leaders, peers, and community leaders. You might go to a few meetings where you emerge without a specific connection, but sooner or later, you will build enough of a network that opportunities to grow your organization will start to emerge.

Jeff Shaw - Frontline Response

Frontline Response is on the frontlines every day rescuing individuals out of the darkness of sex trafficking and homelessness while preventing children and other vulnerable individuals from falling victim.

What helped you achieve success?

We have recently undergone a shift from focusing on outputs to focusing on outcomes. Rather than measuring what we do or how many people we do it for, we're looking at how what we do moves the needle in the lives of the people we're doing it for. Being able to take an honest look at impact allows us to better invite partners and donors into the story, evaluate our programs and their effectiveness, and test new things.

What success did it lead to?

We have only just begun, but by next year we'll be able to look at a year's worth of initial outcomes and begin the process of evaluating and updating our programs and services to be most effective. Additionally, we're already seeing the increase in confidence and support from our partners!

What is your advice for others to achieve similar success?

First, bring in someone who understands outcomes and logic models to teach you and to facilitate the process of determining your outcomes. Second, be sure to teach your team about outcomes and bring them on the journey with you. This is a cultural shift and it's important for everyone to be bought in! Lastly, identify a platform that can help you manage your data and monitor outcomes. We went with SureImpact. So far, so good!

Time blocking

What success did it lead to?

Time blocking allows me to get things done more efficiently. It also helps me set boundaries, so I can make sure to prioritize the work I need to get done. 

What is your advice for others to achieve similar success?

If you haven't tried time blocking before, I recommend picking one or two tasks to time block for the next two weeks. For example, try blocking off time when you answer emails, so it doesn't consume every down minute (30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the afternoon). After that two weeks, evaluate what worked and what didn't.

Rima Patel - Center for Financial Inclusion at Accion

Center for Financial Inclusion at Accion is a global nonprofit committed to creating a financially inclusive world, with a trailblazing legacy in microfinance and fintech impact investing.

---

What helped you achieve success?

Building a strong brand and getting the entire team on the same page. A brand can't reach its potential unless the team behind it internalizes the brand values, represents the mission, and understands what makes them unique. If these are not clear to your team, it's probably not clear to anyone else.

What success did it lead to?

Aligning our team and brand has led to a more intentional communications approach, forced us to consider critical questions about our organization, including how we are keeping up with industry trends, and helps us deliver our message to potential partners and donors more succinctly and eloquently. We already knew who we were, but now we can talk about it to others in a consistent way.

What is your advice for others to achieve similar success?

Taking the time to sit down, brainstorm, and have the hard conversations (because there will always be disagreements) will align everyone, their work, and how your organization positions itself to the world. If these internal processes and perspectives are aligned, your brand values and attributes will be better represented to everyone else.

Rebecca Rothney - Pack for a Purpose

Pack for a Purpose positively impacts communities around the world by assisting travelers who want to take meaningful contributions to the destinations they visit.

---

What helped you achieve success?

My success was achieved with the talents of my incredible friends, their willingness to donate their time and skills, and their belief in the mission. This, of course, was ensured by providing them with my hot, out-of-the-oven, homemade, mint chocolate chip cookies. In addition, we have many outstanding universities in the area, which have been a source of excellent interns. 

What success did it lead to?

Our success has allowed us to grow in the last 14 years from 29 participants (accommodations and tour companies) in 15 countries to more than 400 participants in over 50 countries. Each one of these participants supports local community projects that enhance the welfare of the community. 

What is your advice for others to achieve similar success?

Know how to bake a great cookie! Have generous and talented friends. Be persistent. If someone answers no, ask someone else until you find the person willing to say yes. Work as a meritocracy. The best ideas, no matter the source, are the ones that will lead to success.

Derreck Kayongo - Africa Mbele

Africa Mbele is a movement that aims to educate, mobilize and activate the Diaspora community in order to end extreme corruption in Africa.

---

What helped you achieve success?

"Investors" are people who participated in my formation from the day I was born to the day I built my first company. They include my parents, a missionary woman from Pittsburgh who helped raise me, a believing investor who donated money for me to go to college in Boston, an excellent formal VP at Hilton hotels who joined my board at my company and helped me get $1.3 million from Hilton to build my first factory, and the hotel industry that believed in my idea to recycle and repurpose partially used soap from the hotels. Without these investors and more, I would have never been successful!

What success did it lead to?

My organization was then able to provide soap to people all over the world that faced natural and human-made disasters. For example, the Haiti earthquake and the Ebola epidemic in Liberia. But perhaps an even better outcome is that because of our work at the Global Soap Project, the hotel industry has responded to the waste by mounting liquid canisters in bathrooms. I'm proud of that shift and that is my legacy.

What is your advice for others to achieve similar success?

Don't wait for all the ducks to be in a row. Start and learn the art of improvising along the way, because if Mike Tyson taught us anything, it was that everyone has a plan until they are punched in the face, then everything goes out the window. Plans are good, but improvising with cleverness is even better.

Ashley Jones - Love Not Lost

Love Not Lost is on a mission to revolutionize the way we heal in grief. They photograph people facing a terminal diagnosis to celebrate life and preserve memories together with their families and those they love.

---

What helped you achieve success?

As I was learning how to run a business over a decade ago, I kept hearing mentors say the phrase, “innovate or die.” It’s been some of the best advice that I have taken with me as I have started a nonprofit, too. The reminder of death in the business sense keeps me from getting complacent, and actually in life too.

It’s kind of ironic that the nonprofit I started is focused on helping people with death and healing. Keeping the end in mind can be so inspiring and fuel creativity as well. Why go through life being bored?!

What success did it lead to?

It’s led me to create fun and successful events - our most recent one coming up is our UN-gala with another new concept in the works for this fall/winter.

What is your advice for others to achieve similar success?

Take the same advice I did: Innovate or die.

What success did it lead to?

Each year on Giving Tuesday, GA Gives raises millions of dollars for Georgia nonprofits and raises awareness of the sector.

What is your advice for others to achieve similar success?

Don't skip planning and go straight into tactics/executions.

Emily Laney - Girl Talk, Inc.

Girl Talk inspires all girls to be confident leaders through peer-to-peer mentoring programs.

---

What helped you achieve success?

Building relationships has led me to success at Girl Talk. Two examples come to mind. One, I applied to join a nonprofit leadership program through Chick-fil-A and Plywood People. Being accepted to that program gave me an instant community of fellow nonprofit leaders. Their expertise and support has meant so much. Additionally, the connection with Plywood People has led to operational success for Girl Talk, as we learned about the opportunity to become Plywood Place members, saving us money each month on office space and giving us more opportunities for networking.

Secondly, I have tried to be brave and reach out to people on LinkedIn, asking to connect to get their advice or talk about our organization. I've been honest and reciprocal in those conversations, which has led to event sponsorships, board members, and new relationships. It's been amazing to see how willing people are to grab a cup of coffee and chat.

What success did it lead to?

It's led to more relationships, cost saving, sponsorships, and increased fundraising revenue.

What is your advice for others to achieve similar success?

Do not be afraid to ask someone to connect. Most people are happy to grab a cup of coffee and chat. Be clear in your intentions but focus on relationship building. Have an agenda in mind and talking points but allow the conversation to flow and be natural. And try to not make conversations one-sided—ask if you can help that person with anything or make connections for them as well.

What helped you achieve success?

Perseverance, persistence, passion, purpose.

What success did it lead to?

We had triple digit year-on-year growth in our first four years, and we were operational in 54 countries within six years.

What is your advice for others to achieve similar success?

You really do have to love what you do to keep going through all the adversity and challenges, and do it all for the right reasons that are true to your ethics and morals. Otherwise, don't bother.

Whether it’s networking to form new relationships with investors, donors, or supporters, time blocking to achieve tasks, or building a strong brand with your team to get clear on your mission and communicate it to the world, all of this advice can help your organization make a bigger impact. How can you incorporate these tips into your success plan?

I'm Kristi Porter, and I started Signify to help small nonprofits and for-profits with a social mission get noticed and grow through effective marketing and communications. I also teach solopreneurs and small businesses how to incorporate philanthropy and giving strategies. I believe that cause-focused organizations like yours are the future of business. You're proof that companies can both make money and do good. And I'm here to make sure you focus and shine. When you succeed, we all win.

10+ Creative Ways to Support Nonprofits and Causes

If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s the importance of philanthropy in our communities and in our wider world. There are lots of organizations dedicating their time and effort to helping others. These organizations also rely on us for support, but it’s not always easy to spare some extra change. The good news is there are many ways to help nonprofits, not all of which require a monetary donation. 

Wondering how you can easily support your favorite nonprofits and causes through your habits and purchases you already intend to make? Here are 10+ creative ways to take action and help nonprofits make an impact.

1. Charity Charge

   Charity Charge is the only credit card that donates 1% back on ALL purchases to the nonprofit of your choice. There’s also no annual fee, a low interest rate, and your donation may be tax deductible. There’s a card for nonprofit business owners, too!

2. Charity Miles

   This fitness/movement tracker is easily downloaded onto your smartphone (for free!) and turns the miles you walk, bike, run, or hike into money for a nonprofit of your choosing. 

3. DoneGood

   Shop for yourself or for gifts for others on this site, where every purchase you make is good for both people and the planet. There are thousands of products from hundreds of brands who pay livable wages, are eco-friendly, and empower communities. 

4. Cultivate

   This free extension for your web browser will help you feel better about your purchases. Cultivate finds the best prices on products you’re already shopping for online and earns money to donate to causes.

5. Ten Thousand Villages

   Ten Thousand Villages is another online market with oodles of unique, fair trade crafts. Any purchase you make of an ethically sourced, handmade product supports both the earth and the communities of developing countries. 

6. The Little Market

   This charitable organization founded by women helps alleviate poverty by ethically sourcing their goods from artisan groups in over 25 countries. You can choose a specific cause to search products on their site.

7. Goodshop

   Goodshop provides coupons and shopping deals for an abundance of stores. Even better, they make a donation to a nonprofit or school of your choice for nearly every purchase you make.

8. Goodsearch

   Part of Goodshop and backed by Yahoo, Goodsearch is a search engine that allows you to surf the web while simultaneously providing donations to charities.  Why Google when you could Goodsearch?

9. Freerice

   Sharpen your brain and trivia knowledge with this fun game that also helps feed people in impoverished areas. Every correct answer is ten grains of rice donated through the United Nations World Food Programme to those in need.

10. ShareTheMeal

    ShareTheMeal, also an initiative of the World Food Programme, is an app that enables people to share meals with those who need them the most, for as low as just $0.50.

11. AmazonSmile

    Making the switch from shopping on Amazon to AmazonSmile makes a negligible difference to you but can still add up for nonprofits. Amazon donates 0.5% of eligible purchases to your favorite charitable organization, with no extra costs or fees. Charities can also create Charity Lists of needed items that you can browse and order from.

    Note: Amazon will be winding down this initiative as of February 20, 2023, but that may not be a bad thing.

12. Donate a Photo

    For every photo shared on the Donate a Photo app, Johnson & Johnson donates $1 to the cause of your choosing. 

13. Volunteer

    Volunteering your time is a life-changing way to help nonprofits spread their mission, make an impact, and gain support from others. Organizations both big and small are always looking for extra sets of hands, and it can lead to beneficial connections for you, too!

14. Donate what you don’t need

    If you can’t donate money, donate items you no longer need like gently used clothing, supplies, and food. Look past just taking everything to Goodwill, too. Research local second-hand shops, shelters, and organizations in your area. Goodwill is a fantastic charity, but if you are looking for a more personalized connection, a smaller, community-based organization may be a better fit for you.

15. Follow and engage on social media

    A simple, effective, and surefire way to help nonprofits with minimal effort, simply following organizations on social media and engaging with their content helps spread the word. Engagement tells the social media algorithm that the content is good and then it will be shared to more people. Plus, it’s an easy way for you to lend your voice and advocate online.

16. Forward information to friends

    Similarly, forwarding the emails that organizations work so hard to craft to friends and family can really make a difference in expanding their network and reach. You can also just send their websites so others can learn more. You may not have a lot of resources, but someone you know might and can help expand their impact. 

17. Roundup your total at stores and restaurants

    You know when you’re asked by the cashier at a shop, restaurant, or grocery store if you want to round up your total for charity? This is called point-of-sale fundraising, and it’s a highly effective way for nonprofits to raise money. It’s a few cents to you, but those cents will go towards donations to organizations that need it. Plus, the donations are often matched by corporate partners, so the total really adds up.

18. Leave a testimonial 

    Leaving a testimonial for your favorite nonprofit is vital to their success! When others research that organization, it can be incredibly helpful for them to see happy donors, volunteers, and supporters. Just think about how product and service reviews matter to you. Testimonials can be left on public sites like Google and Facebook and take just a couple of minutes.

All of these methods are relatively quick and easy ways to support the nonprofits that you already love and that are continuously putting their time, effort, and funds into making a real difference in both their community and the world.

We can all step up in ways big and small to help create a better world and be the change we want to see. So pick one of these—and start today!

If you’re a for-profit, see how Thrive Cosmetics uses a real customer video to demonstrate the benefits of one of their products. I also have client testimonials for Signify showcased on my Instagram, my website, and via email blasts.

This is just the tip of the iceberg of all you can learn about creating and showcasing testimonials. 

The work you do is important, and this guide gives you the tools you need to create testimonials that demonstrate your impact and attract new stakeholders to your cause.
