The Performance Reporting IMPACT Tool is Here!

In 2025, OVW, in collaboration with MEI, launched the Indicators * Measurements * Performance * Achievements * Challenges * Technical Assistance Tool (IMPACT Tool). The IMPACT Tool is a web-based tool that all OVW Discretionary grantees and Formula Subgrantees use to prepare their performance data for submission to OVW. Its purpose is to simplify reporting and alleviate undue burden on grantees while generating better, timely, and more accurate information on how grantees use their funds.

Discretionary Programs

Discretionary grantees are required to use the VAWA IMPACT Tool to complete their semi-annual performance reports. The due date for each reporting period is January 30th for the July to December period and July 30th for the January to June period. To go directly to your program’s IMPACT Tool reporting form, find your program in the list of Tools and resources at: IMPACT Tool Links.
