Spending controversy, 2011-2012

An audit published by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management in 2012 concluded that Global Impact had received $764,069 in reimbursements from the federal government that "could have been put to better use" for the CFC. Global Impact had received funds for neck massages, hotel room service, and movie rentals. Renee Acosta, then Global Impact's chief executive, received a $150,000 bonus following the audit.
Programs

Global Impact also administers the Combined Federal Campaign – Overseas (CFC-O), a program allowing international charities to solicit contributions from employees of the United States federal government. Revenue for the CFC-O increased from $47 million in 2003 to $66 million in 2011.

From 2003 to 2012 Global Impact ran the National Capital Area Combined Federal Campaign, a division of the CFC for federal employees in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. Global Impact was succeeded in this role by EarthShare.
Research

In 2011 Global Impact published "Moving Beyond Boundaries," a report that analyzed trends in donations to international charities. The report concluded that such giving had increased at an annual rate of 10.4% since 1987, that 22% of U.S. corporations made donations to international causes, and that 37% of major U.S. companies planned to focus more on such causes. The report concluded that corporate fundraising efforts were having a positive impact on quality of life around the world.

In December 2015, Global Impact released a report that outlined its efforts in the previous fiscal year to grow global philanthropy.
