As a Co-founder of Social Impact Solutions, I specialize in helping healthcare and public health nonprofit organizations measure, communicate, and expand their impact. My passion is partnering with mission-driven organizations to strengthen their capacity for evaluation, secure sustainable funding, and ultimately improve community health outcomes. By blending my expertise in nonprofit strategy, social impact research, and program evaluation, I equip organizations with insights and tools to achieve lasting change.

I hold a Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) in Health Education from Loma Linda University, a Master of Science in Nutrition from Clemson University, and a Bachelor’s degree in Honors Pre-Health Sciences from Oklahoma State University. My academic research focused on advancing nutrition education in medical curricula and promoting lifestyle behavior change within healthcare—foundations that continue to inform my work in the nonprofit sector. I am also a Diplomate of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (DipACLM).

Over the years, I have served in national leadership roles with the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, including Vice President of Research and Vice President of the Trainee Executive Board. Through nonprofit consulting, conference presentations, and published research, I remain committed to advancing evidence-based practices and amplifying the voices of organizations working at the intersection of healthcare, nutrition, public health, and community well-being.

At Social Impact Solutions, our team partners with nonprofits to design effective evaluation strategies, conduct impact studies, and translate data into compelling narratives for funders and community stakeholders. Whether guiding a public health program, a nonprofit hospital initiative, or a community-based organization, I am dedicated to ensuring nonprofits have the clarity and confidence to demonstrate the measurable change their programs create and scale their impact.

Impact measurement isn't simply about compliance. It’s about making your programs the best they can be, gaining insights to expand your reach, and supporting your community as effectively as possible.

Many nonprofits treat impact measurement as something they have to do, for funders, reports, or audits.

But the organizations that lead well treat impact measurement as an invaluable process that makes their programs better. And this ultimately leads to better serving their communities... Fueling the core component of a nonprofit's mission.

Clear impact measurement answers the questions that matter most:
• What is actually changing as a result of our programs & organization?
• How are we creating change at the individual, organizational, and community level?
• Where are there gaps, and where do we need to adapt?

When leaders understand their impact, decisions become more intentional, and strategy becomes more focused.

Impact measurement stops being a burden and starts becoming a leadership tool.

Strong nonprofit impact measurement and communication begin with clarity, not complexity.

👉 Follow me for more practical guidance on using data effectively.

#SocialImpactSolutions #NonprofitLeadership #ImpactMeasurement #MissionDriven

Many nonprofits don’t struggle because they lack data, they struggle because the data they already have isn't being analyzed or reported in a practical way that guides action.

Context transforms impact metrics into insight and actionable next steps. 

Key insights and action steps lead to better leadership and stronger impact communication.

👉 Follow me for more practical guidance on using impact data effectively.

Why Good Data Still Fails Without Context

Clear nonprofit impact communication isn’t just reporting numbers, it’s showing the meaning behind the metrics.

Nonprofits can communicate their impact more effectively when they define what real change looks like, developed measurable goals and objectives, and share their impact in a way that resonates with volunteers, employees, donors, and other stakeholders.

We shared these insights in our recent webinar, where we break down how clarity builds trust, confidence, and long-term stakeholder engagement.

👉 Follow me for more insights on nonprofit impact communication.

#ImpactMeasurement #NonprofitLeadership #DataForGood #SocialImpactSolutions

Donors don’t disengage because they don’t care, they disengage when they don’t feel connected to your mission.

Most supporters want to know:
• What changed because of my support?
• How is this work changing lives, families, and communities?
• What are the outcomes and impact of the organization I am supporting?

When nonprofits rely on activity counts instead of outcomes, donors are left to fill in the gaps themselves.
That’s where uncertainty grows.

Clear impact communication doesn’t overwhelm.
It explains.
It connects.
It builds confidence.

When donors understand your impact, trust becomes sustainable, not seasonal.

Tracking fewer impact metrics creates more clarity than tracking as many data points as possible. They just have to be the right impact metrics...

When nonprofits focus on meaningful indicators, impact measurement and communication becomes more clear and more credible.

How to Know If a Metric Is Worth Tracking

Effective impact communication helps supporters understand not just what happened last month or last year, but why it matters and what the future holds too.

Clear impact communication builds confidence and long-term engagement.

Nonprofit impact reports that inspire action. Join this new nonprofit webinar live! 

A common challenge some nonprofits face is collecting too many data points and using too little of it.

Effective impact measurement focuses on relevance:
• What decisions does this data inform?
• What questions does it answer?
• What learning does it support?

When metrics are clearly tied to strategy, teams stop reporting for the sake of reporting, and start learning.

That’s where nonprofit impact communication becomes meaningful.

👋 I'm Chas and one truth I've learned from competitive cycling is if you're not moving up, you're falling behind.

In cycling, positioning is everything—whether you're climbing hills, navigating tight corners, or sprinting to the finish. Lose focus, push too hard, or hesitate, and the race moves on without you.

This philosophy has fueled my career in the nonprofit technology sector and now drives my work as the founder of Nonprofit Tech Partnerships. I help early-stage nonprofit technology companies accelerate growth through scalable partnership programs that deliver measurable impact and revenue.

Partnerships, like cycling, require strategy, precision, and adaptability. With a proven track record of building and scaling partner programs, I specialize in creating frameworks that enable companies to quickly gain momentum, expand market reach, and sustain long-term growth.

Whether you're looking to launch your first partner program or optimize an existing one, I bring the strategy, structure, and execution needed to move up in the nonprofit technology race.
