The GiveaWhy Score is a simple way to rank the impact of any organization—businesses or nonprofits—on their local community. It ensures that every dollar and hour invested is focused on creating lasting, measurable impact. Using our unique GiveaWhy Score, we can rank any organization on a scale of 0 to 100, highlighting those making the most significant contributions to their communities.
Why Your Score Matters
As a leader, measuring financial performance is straightforward, but evaluating community impact can be challenging. The GiveaWhy Score is a proprietary algorithm that tracks the impact of every dollar and volunteer hour contributed through the platform. This helps you understand how your organization compares to others and offers insights into ways you can increase your community impact.
The GiveaWhy Score Formula
The GiveaWhy Score measures three areas:
Investment: Your investment in the community relative to your overall financials.
Participation: The engagement of your team relative to the total members of your organization.
Impact: The return on investment (ROI) of your contributions and their lasting effect on the community.
GiveaWhy Score = Investment + Participation + Impact
Each component is scored from 0 to 100, based on how you rank compared to other organizations in our dataset. These three metrics are weighted and combined to produce your overall GiveaWhy Score.

How It Works
When you create an organization profile, you can add details like your revenue and team size. Our algorithm then evaluates:
GiveaWhy Score=(0.4×FCR)+(0.3×EPR)+(0.3×RCI)
Financial Contribution Ratio (FCR): Measures the percentage of your annual budget or revenue dedicated to community causes, making up 40% of your GiveaWhy Score.
Team Participation Rate (EPR): Tracks the percentage of your team actively involved in community initiatives, contributing 30% to your GiveaWhy Score.
Return on Community Investment (RCI): Assesses the impact of your contributions on community projects, comprising the remaining 30% of your score.
