Impact Basics simplifies the art of measuring, communicating, and funding impact in the nonprofit sector.
We founded Impact Basics to help minimize the burden of articulating the results of nonprofit programs to attract funding. We believe that it is possible to powerfully talk about the impact y… read moreour programs have, without hiring expensive researchers to conduct multi-year analyses. We can help you establish manageable systems to define, measure, and articulate the outcomes of your work; or to find and win funding that increases instead of distracts from your long-term goals. We know you’re doing great work – our job is to help make sure that you have the tools in place so that everyone else can also see that too.
Impact Basics will come alongside your team and develop systems to:
Measure your program’s results in an accessible, non-academic way
Concisely communicate program impact for grant applications or marketing materials
Increase your staff’s capacity to measure program outcomes or write grant applications
Identify funders whose goals align with yours
Write grant applications strategically to expand your impact
Develop or grow your grants portfolio
Establish data management systems
Create long-term strategic plans
Develop internal reporting systems to enable data-driven decision-making
Impact Basics will work with any organization regardless of size or location. However, we specialize in tailoring customized tools for small and medium sized organizations. We are particularly passionate about working with organizations and programs that are thinking about measuring their impact or writing grants for the first time, and those who hope to transform their “behind the scenes” systems.
