Founded in 2001, For Impact is what the team calls a both a point of view and a movement. The name derives from the distinction that the perspective is not "not for profit" or "for profit" but rather a third and less known designation of "for impact." The organization itself was launched as an offshoot of The Suddes Group, which was founded in 1983 by Tom Suddes. The Suddes Group has a pretty great track record with over $1 billion raised and 400 fundraising campaigns.
The types of services that For Impact offers include training, coaching and consulting for campaigns, board workshops, campaigns, speaking gigs, strategic planning and more.
