Deliveries is where a nonprofit confirms that donated goods arrived. Confirming a delivery produces the receipt, which is the last-mile proof your donor's compliance team, your funder and your auditor all end up asking for.

What Deliveries does
Deliveries is the confirmation step in ImpactMatrix. The receiving organization confirms that a shipment or claimed Gifts in Kind donation arrived, and a receipt is generated from that confirmation. That confirmed record is the last-mile proof that feeds tax receipts for donors and distribution reporting for funders.
What you can do
One action, several problems solved.
The receiving organization marks the goods as arrived. Not the sender, not the coordinator three states away — the people who actually took it off the truck.
The receipt is generated when delivery is confirmed, which is why documentation stops being a separate month-end project.
If only part arrived, the sender is told how much is outstanding and can ship the remainder as a new round on the same delivery.
If something is wrong or nothing arrived, pick a reason and the platform team reviews and resolves it.
After confirming, rate quantity match, communication and whether you would connect again. It builds the other organization's trust score.
Corporate donors release the next pallet faster when the last one came back with a confirmation instead of silence.
Confirmed deliveries are what distribution reports and SDG tagging are built from, so your grant report is a query rather than a reconstruction.
Closing out a delivery
Receive the goods
The shipment arrives at the recipient with its chain-of-custody record intact.
Confirm it in Deliveries
The receiving organization confirms arrival. This is the single action that turns a movement into a documented delivery.
Use the receipt
The receipt generated on confirmation goes to the donor, and the delivery record feeds distribution reports with SDG tags.
Why the last mile is where documentation dies
The problem
Ninety percent of in-kind coordination is documented and the last ten percent isn't. The truck arrives, twelve volunteers unload it, everyone goes home, and three months later nobody can prove that 4,000 units reached the shelter — which is the only part the auditor and the corporate donor care about.
What the platform does
Confirmation happens where the goods land, and the receipt is produced by that confirmation rather than by someone remembering to write it later.
The artifact
A confirmed delivery record and a receipt tied to it — the difference between saying goods were distributed and showing it.
Proof of delivery, not a courier network
This isn't a shipping carrier or a last-mile delivery service. ImpactMatrix doesn't drive the truck; it records that the truck arrived and produces the paperwork that follows. If you need cargo capacity, the network is where you post the need — several organizations on it exist to move freight for humanitarian work.
Use ImpactMatrix when
You need documented proof that donated goods reached the recipient, generated by the people who received them.
Use something else when
You need to buy freight capacity or courier service. Post that as a Need instead, or source it through Find Supplies.

Questions
How do you confirm an in-kind delivery?
The receiving organization confirms arrival in the Deliveries module. Confirming the delivery generates the receipt, which becomes the last-mile proof used for donor acknowledgment and funder reporting. Confirmation is done by the recipient rather than the sender, which is what makes it proof.
What is last-mile proof for donated goods?
Last-mile proof is documentation that a donation actually reached its intended recipient, not just that it was shipped. In ImpactMatrix, that proof is the confirmed delivery record and the receipt generated from it, linked back through the shipment to the original offer or claim.
Who is allowed to confirm a delivery?
The receiving organization confirms the delivery, because they're the party that can attest the goods arrived. That confirmation closes the shipment record and triggers the receipt, so the documentation reflects what happened on the ground rather than what was planned.
Does the donor get a receipt automatically?
A receipt is generated when delivery is confirmed, using the tax-receipt settings the donor chose on the Gifts in Kind listing. ImpactMatrix produces this as a record of what moved and does not provide tax or legal advice about how it should be treated.
Is delivery confirmation part of the trial?
Yes. The 30-day free trial needs no credit card and covers the fulfillment chain from posting a need through match, shipment and delivery confirmation. Nonprofit plans afterwards start at $29.99 per month for a single user, with lower per-user pricing on larger plans.
