v1.48 · Now Available · Released May 2026
Note: Full details are in the Release Notes & Upgrade Instructions.
Raven (v1.48) is Amp Impact’s 25th major release and is dedicated entirely to refinement: making existing workflows more reliable, outputs more accurate, and the overall experience more consistent across Financials, Submissions, Indicators & Results, and Work Planning.
Every improvement in Raven traces back to feedback from 100+ organizations using Amp Impact.
Here’s a look at the new refinements Raven brings.
Submissions
Refined Reviews
Submissions is where your team and your partners spend time entering, reviewing, and downloading program, grant, or project data. Raven brings two improvements that make this experience more reliable.
When Submission Response Forms include multiple file-upload questions, all uploaded attachments now remain consistently visible throughout, even post-submission. When users download a Submission as a Word document, only the selected picklist response(s) are displayed in bold to improve readability.
This update helps support proposal evaluations at high volume and the sharing of form outputs with external reviewers.

Financials
Plan and Report with Confidence
Historically, for finance teams managing grants or programs with overlapping planning and reporting cycles, submitting a Budget from the planning view would inadvertently lock the same reporting periods in the expenditure reporting view and vice versa. This resulted in confusion over which periods were editable and unnecessary back-and-forth reconciling. Raven separates the planning and reporting of the budget cycle. New fields have been introduced to independently track planning and reporting locks, so submitting from one view does not impact the other. Finance teams receive clear, reliable control over each financial reporting period.
Raven separates these two sides of the budget cycle. New fields have been introduced to independently track planning and reporting locks, so that submitting from one view does not impact the other. Finance teams receive clear, reliable control over each financial reporting period.
Raven also cleans up the expenditure reporting view by removing deactivated planned budget line items from the display, so teams work from an accurate, clutter-free picture of their active budget.
Indicators, Targets & Results
Data Integrity
Raven tightens the margin of error across four areas for organizations managing complex indicators across multiple disaggregations, languages, and data upload workflows.
Cross-disaggregated indicators save cleanly
When a Cross-Disaggregated Indicator Result record is edited or cleared on STAR LWC pages, the system now correctly updates the existing record instead of creating duplicate Result records on save.
Organization(s) that raised this: Plan International
Indicator Results uploads create records only where data exists
Uploading an Indicator Results Excel template now creates records only for indicators with entered result values, optimizing result record creation.
Organization(s) that raised this: Plan International
Set Targets loads in all languages for nested disaggregated indicators
Teams working in non-English languages with translated disaggregation groups can now load the Set Targets component without interruption.
Indicators, Targets & Results
Clear Feedback, Faster Uploads
Work plan uploads provide clear data issue feedback
Implementation Plan uploads now surface any invalid dependent picklist entries directly in the error log, giving users clear visibility into what needs to be corrected.

Under the hood
Keeping Amp Impact Current
This release has extended compatibility with Salesforce Agentforce for Nonprofits (formerly Nonprofit Cloud). Objects introduced in Salesforce Winter ’26 and Spring ’26 releases are now available to use in Amp Impact. A set of legacy Visualforce pages has been retired in favor of Lightning Web Component equivalents.

FAQs
Do I need to upgrade to leverage these improvements?
Yes, all of the improvements in Raven are delivered as part of the managed package upgrade. Your org will need to be on v1.48 to benefit from them. Reach out to your dedicated Customer Success Manager to coordinate the upgrade for your sandbox and production environments.
The file upload issue affected our portal users. Will upgrading to Raven immediately fix it?
Yes. Once your org is upgraded to v1.48, the fix is live. Files uploaded to Submission Response Forms with multiple required file-upload questions will be consistently visible.
We use Excel templates to upload Indicator Results data. What’s improved for us in Raven?
A couple of things. First, uploading a Results Excel template will no longer create empty Result records for Indicator Results where no value was entered.
Second, if your team works with cross-disaggregated indicators, editing or clearing Result values on the STAR LWC pages will no longer create duplicate Result records. Both improvements help keep your results data accurate and manageable as volumes grow.
We have overlapping budget planning and reporting periods. How does Raven impact us?
Raven separates the locking behavior for planning and reporting. Previously, submitting from the Plan Budget view could inadvertently lock periods in the Report Expenditure view. That no longer happens as the locking for each side is now tracked independently, so your finance team has full control over what’s editable and when.
What’s coming next after Raven?
The next major release is Sirius, scheduled for September 2026. It will focus on extending capabilities across Indicators & Results and Submissions, and will introduce Amp Impact MCP tools and AI use cases.
As we step into AI, our product development is strictly guided by Vera’s 9 Principles of Responsible AI for Nonprofits, ensuring that data security, business value, and environmental impact remain at the core of every new feature we build. You can get a preview of the upcoming Amp MCP use cases and the Sirius Roadmap from your dedicated Customer Success Manager.
