Formula Grant IMPACT Tool FAQs

The Indicators* Measurements* Performance* Achievements* Challenges* Technical Assistance Tool (IMPACT tool) is a web-based tool that all OVW grantees and subgrantees will use to prepare their performance data for submission to OVW, beginning with the July – December 2024 (JD 2024) reporting period. It is easy to use and reflects a reduction of about 50% in the volume of data grantees are asked to report. Its purpose is to simplify reporting and alleviate burden on grantees while generating better, timely, and more accurate information on how grantees use their funds.

State Administrators: VAWA MEI will reach out to Formula State Administrators and request information about who should have access to their State Dashboard in the tool. VAWA MEI will create the needed accounts and work with State Administrators to ensure everyone who needs access gets access.

Subgrantees: State Administrators will send their Subgrantees an email containing a URL that will bring them to a blank report. Once the Subgrantee starts a report, a new, unique URL will be generated which will be emailed to them and will also be available to copy from the site itself. They will need to save this unique URL so that you can return to your report.
