Global Impact, Blackbaud, Council on Foundations, & Foundation Center Partner to Promote Global Goals Mapping: A Resource for Social Good Organizations
Global Goals Mapping is a comprehensive resource list that maps giving and volunteerism using both the IRS National Taxonomy of Exempt Entities (NTEE) codes and the United Nations International Classification of Nonprofit Organizations (ICNPO) codes to classify the activity and programs of charities and connect them to the SDGs and related targets. It creates a shared alignment resource and common language to support all organizations across sectors in their efforts to map their contributions toward the SDGs.
"Global Goals Mapping will enhance the impact of efforts across an organization by understanding the alignment of individual employee donations, volunteer hours and grants," stated
- Global Impact, whose mission is to build partnerships and resources for the world's most vulnerable people, will utilize the mapping and other tools to turn corporate giving and employee engagement data into more powerful success stories. Through this partnership, Global Impact will be able to tie contributions to impacts, align corporate responsibility efforts across departments, and help companies and their employees better understand how their contributions are connected to a powerful, collective global agenda.
Blackbaud, Inc. (NASDAQ: BLKB), the world's leading cloud software company powering social good, mapped the SDGs to the taxonomy of its Blackbaud Outcomes™ cloud solution. As the first solution to integrate this type of common outcomes measurement language, Blackbaud Outcomes empowers funders and nonprofits to truly understand the impact they are making.
Council on Foundations , an active philanthropic network and nonprofit leadership association of grantmaking foundations and corporations, will use the tool and information to provide the opportunity, leadership and tools needed by organizations to expand, enhance and sustain their ability to advance the common good.
- Foundation Center, an innovative nonprofit and leading source of worldwide philanthropic data and research, will utilize Global Goals Mapping as part of a broader ecosystem of resources, which includes SDGFunders.org, to help funders and grantees better understand the SDGs.
The SDGs are a set of 17 interconnected global goals devoted to addressing hunger, poverty, health, equality, peace, justice and more that strive to "leave no one behind." Adopted in 2015 by 193 countries, including
"We are proud of the collaborative work that went into creating this resource," said
All four organizations will unite to promote Global Goals Mapping, and more broadly, the value of the SDGs as a framework through trainings, webinars and convenings. Based on their missions and expertise, each organization has been integrating the resource into its offerings with a goal of improving funders', companies' and other stakeholders' financial and human capital investments toward achieving the SDGs for a sustainable future.
