IMPACT

Progress should be visible. And measurable.

RescueHero reports Impact through explicit definitions, sources, reporting periods and limitations rather than unsupported headline numbers.

IMPACT SNAPSHOT

Four domains. Separate meanings.

Current values will be shared when reporting evidence is available.

Reach

Meaningful participation by fundraising-ready rescuer organizations and supporters who complete qualifying donations.

Current value not yet available.

Support

Qualifying RescueHero-mediated support activity and the economic support value that remains valid under the reporting method.

Current value not yet available.

Global Expansion

Current rescuer onboarding availability and evidence-backed expansion during a reporting period.

Current value not yet available.

Outcomes

Evidence-backed outcomes remain distinct from platform activity, support volume and geographic availability.

Current value not yet available.

REACH

Reach measures meaningful participation, not raw sign-ups.

Participation enters this domain only through the approved metric meanings below.

Fundraising-ready rescuer organizations

This metric uses RescueHero's established definition of fundraising readiness. The full criteria are not reproduced on this page.

Current value not yet available.

Unique supporters completing at least one RescueHero-mediated donation during the reporting period

A supporter is counted once per reporting period when at least one donation occurrence qualifies under the approved completed-donation method.

Current value not yet available.

SUPPORT

Economic support needs a defined reporting method.

Support activity and support value are related measures, but they answer different questions.

Completed donation occurrences

Completed donation occurrences will count qualifying RescueHero-mediated support events according to the published metric method.

Current value not yet available.

Net completed support value

Net completed support value will report the RescueHero-mediated donation value that remains economically valid under the published reporting method.

Current value not yet available.

GLOBAL EXPANSION

Coverage means current rescuer onboarding availability.

A country counts as covered only when rescuer onboarding is currently available there through RescueHero.

Supporter access and other kinds of geographic availability are different concepts and are not counted by this measure.

Countries with current rescuer onboarding availability

This measure counts countries where rescuer onboarding is currently available.

Current value not yet available.

Countries newly opened during the reporting period

This metric will be published when historical availability evidence exists for the reporting period.

Current value not yet available.

OUTCOMES

Activity is not automatically an outcome.

RescueHero does not currently publish causal animal-welfare Impact metrics.

Keep observation separate from causation.

Participation, donations, rescue content and geographic availability are observable activity. They do not, by themselves, establish animal-welfare outcomes caused by RescueHero.

Outcome reporting will require evidence that supports the specific outcome claim and what the evidence can actually show.

PROGRESS OVER TIME

Comparable trends require comparable definitions.

Historical trend series not yet published.

Before a trend is public

  • Metric definitions must remain stable or their changes must be explicit.
  • Reporting periods must be comparable.
  • Definition changes must be handled transparently across the series.

SELECTED EVIDENCE

Impact claims should connect to inspectable evidence.

Evidence is useful only when visitors can understand what it supports and where its limitations begin.

Metric definition

What the measure means and what qualifies for inclusion.

Source

The source that supports the public measure.

Reporting period

The period to which the reported measure applies.

Limitation

What the measure does not establish.

Methodology

The method needed to interpret and reproduce a measure when that measure is published.

HOW WE MEASURE / REPORTS

Every future public metric needs enough context to be understood.

Every published metric should explain what it measures, where it comes from, the period it covers, and its limitations. Not every supporting detail is available yet.

Definition
What exactly is being counted or measured.
Source
Which source supports the measure.
Scope
What is included and excluded.
Reporting period
Which period the measure covers.
Refresh cadence
How often the public measure is refreshed.
Aggregation / unit basis
How observations are combined and which unit basis applies.
Limitation
What a visitor should not infer from the measure.
Definition version
Which version of the metric definition governs the report.

FOLLOW THE EVIDENCE

Follow the evidence as RescueHero grows.

Expansion and transparency provide the public context around how the mission grows and how its claims should be read.
