IMPACT’s mission is to empower the faith communities of greater Charlottesville and Albemarle County to create meaningful social change through unified, collective action.

We are a coalition of 29 congregations representing more than 15,000 people across the Charlottesville region. Rooted in Roman Catholic, Jewish, Protestant, Unitarian Universalist, and Muslim traditions, IMPACT reflects a spiritually, racially, and economically diverse community. By building strong relationships across racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic lines, we work together to address local challenges at their source and create lasting change.
