An impact report (also known as a delivery report) shares your project's achievements with your backers and shows others what you've delivered. It's a chance to celebrate your success and showcase the difference you've made.
Handling reminder emails
If you receive periodic reminder emails prompting you to complete your impact report ahead of project delivery, you can safely disregard these until you are ready. These reminders are routine and do not impose strict submission deadlines. Spacehive also sends automated emails to project creators based on specific triggers, such as when a project has raised funds and received a payout. These emails may prompt you to share your project’s impact, but if your campaign has ended and you are no longer active, you can safely disregard them.
