Area of community facilities projected to be constructed or preserved as a result of investments made by the organization during the reporting period.
Organizations should footnote all assumptions used, including what spaces they include in their calculations of the area. See usage guidance for further information.
A community facility is a facility that provides services to the local community, including but not limited to: health/medical clinics, health treatment facilities, schools, arts and other cultural facilities, daycare facilities (adult and youth), health treatment facilities, and community sports facilities.
The reported area should include the space within the community facility that is usable for the intended activities of that facility. For example, if a hospital does not rely on its parking lot to administer its medical services, the parking lot area would be excluded from the calculations.

IRIS Metrics Work Better in Sets
To use IRIS metrics—and the resulting data—to understand impact performance, IRIS metrics should be used and analyzed in generally accepted sets and according to well-defined objectives. IRIS+ gives you access to generally accepted Core Metrics Sets aligned to common Impact Themes and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
